At Libreria ELI, time seems to have its own rhythm. The moment you step inside, the outside world stays suspended at the threshold: voices soften, thoughts slow down, and among shelves full of stories, you rediscover the pleasure of getting lost—or perhaps finding yourself—in something you weren’t even looking for.
ELI, as its founder likes to describe it, is much more than a bookstore. It’s a place where leisure, modernity, and social connection intertwine, offering carefully selected books and opportunities for encounters that nurture curiosity and imagination.
In this timeless space, Magic returned for the third time. Six illusionists from the Circolo Illusionisti di Roma (IBM Ring 204) brought the evening to life, transforming the bookstore into a small theater of the impossible. Between soft lighting and shelves full of words, their hands guided the audience’s gaze toward the invisible: gestures that defy logic, glances that anticipate the unpredictable, silences full of wonder.
Each performance was a story, a shared moment of amazement. The audience, attentive and smiling, followed with the same wonder with which one follows a story they never want to end.
Because at Libreria ELI, between one page and another, magic is not just an illusion: it’s a way of being together, of allowing yourself to be surprised, and a reminder that even in everyday life, there is still room for enchantment.
Mark your calendars for the next magical evening at Libreria ELI!
