Eine kurze Geschichte der FFAP
26. Juni 2026
Während die Fédération Française des Artistes Prestidigitateurs (FFAP) mitten in der Überarbeitung ihrer visuellen Identität und ihres Namens steckt, erschien es uns interessant, einen Blick auf die Geschichte dieses Verbandes zu werfen… der nicht immer einer war!
Alles begann 1903, dem Gründungsdatum der Association Syndicale des Artistes Prestidigitateurs (ASAP), die damals von Agosta Meynier (1861-1942) geleitet wurde. Er stand dem Verband bis 1928 vor, als er von Henri Maurier (1865-1949) abgelöst wurde.

Nach diesem Wechsel im Vorsitz beschloss Agosta Meynier, seinerseits das Syndicat International des Artistes Prestidigitateurs (SIAP) zu gründen.
Die ASAP entwickelte sich unabhängig weiter und erhielt 1941 einen neuen Präsidenten: Nicht mehr Henri Maurier stand an ihrer Spitze, sondern fortan Dr. Jules Dhotel.

1944 versöhnten sich SIAP und ASAP und fusionierten schließlich zur AFAP (Association Française des Artistes Prestidigitateurs ). Jules Dhotel wurde zum Präsidenten dieser neu gegründeten Vereinigung ernannt.

Es sollte bis 2004 dauern, bis Guy Lamelot den Verein in einen Verband umwandelte und die AFAP zur FFAP wurde: der Fédération Française des Artistes Prestidigitateurs .
Im Jahr 2024 stehen dem Verband neue Veränderungen bevor, sowohl was das Logo als auch den Namen betrifft; die FFAP soll durch FFAM für Fédération Française des Arts Magiques ersetzt werden. Da in der Zauber-Community eine lebhafte Debatte über diesen Wechsel stattfindet, wird erst die Zeit zeigen, ob der Verband seinen Namen erneut ändert oder ob er noch eine Weile FFAP bleiben wird!
