Marin grew up in an artistic enviroment, his father a promanant composer for films and his mother a choreographer. He studied music for a while as a child but soon turned to circus and trained from the age of 14 at the Ecole National Du Cirque (Fratellini) in Paris. For the first 10 years of his career toured the world in circus, cabaret and casinos with and English comedy acrobatic act (that also featured myself) before going solo in 1989.
