The Presence Lab #1: The Art of Being Fearless

​What would you do if you weren't afraid? Not the motivational poster version. The real one. The one that sits in your chest when you're about to speak up, step forward, or say what you actually think.

The Presence Lab is a biweekly gathering in Lisbon where we explore confidence, creativity, public speaking and personal growth through real, hands-on experiences.



No slides. No lectures. No phones.

As soon as you arrive, your phone goes off. 
Not on silent. Off. This is a space for real presence, not half-attention.

What to expect:
A live magic opening by your host Luca (Magic Douglas), connecting illusion to the theme of the night. An interactive workshop on the mechanics of fear and confidence. A group exercise where you'll surprise yourself. An open circle to share, connect and take something home.

This is not a show you watch. It's a lab where you participate. Come as you are, leave a little braver.

About your host: Luca is not a therapist, a psychologist, or a life coach. He’s an internationally performing illusionist and mentalist (Magic Douglas) who has spent 20 years studying how fear, trust and presence work in real time, on real stages, with real audiences. 



Everything shared in The Presence Lab comes from personal study, direct experience, and hundreds of shows in front of thousands and thousands of people of more than 80 nationalities. This is not therapy. It’s a lab 
built by someone who makes a living walking into rooms full of strangers and making 
them trust him within seconds
