Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of the most memorable gigs I’ve ever performed was a private event in the countryside near Arezzo, for a high-profile executive from Prada. The venue was a stunning rustic stone estate, surrounded by greenery, with wide glass windows that opened up to the hills. It was elegant yet authentic, with an incredible sunset that added pure magic to the atmosphere. Performing there, as the light changed and the countryside glowed golden, felt like something out of a dream.
As for venues, I've had the privilege of performing in some truly enchanting locations. Among my favourites are:
Forte da Cruz in Estoril: This historic castle, perched by the sea, offers a majestic backdrop that adds a touch of grandeur to any performance.
Pestana Palace in Lisbon: A restored 19th-century palace, this venue exudes elegance and sophistication, making every show feel like a royal affair.
Palácio do Grilo in Lisbon: Steeped in history and adorned with intricate architectural details, its mystical...


What's your favourite type of event?

Honestly? Any event where I get to bring a bit of magic into someone’s day. Whether it's a wedding, a corporate gala, or a birthday in a backyard — if there are people ready to smile, laugh, and be amazed, I'm all in.

If there's a stage, great. If there's just a patch of grass and good vibes, even better. Magic doesn’t need much — just curiosity, a little mystery… and maybe a deck of cards.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started performing magic as a teenager, doing small shows for friends and local events. Over time, word of mouth turned into regular gigs, from private parties to luxury events across Italy and Portugal. Now I perform internationally, but I still bring the same passion I had at my very first show.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Rocco Silano: one of the best Magicians in the world, for sure my favourite.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

✨ Setup Time:
I typically require 30 to 60 minutes for setup, depending on the technical complexity of the venue and the size of the audience. My gear is compact, professional, and efficient—designed for seamless integration with your event flow.

🎩 Performance Duration:
Standard shows run between 30 to 60 minutes, with options for multiple sets or roaming magic upon request. I tailor the magic experience to suit your event goals—whether it’s an intimate close-up session or a stage show with theatrical flair.

⚡ Flexibility:
I'm adaptable to various formats, from corporate events and weddings to festivals and private parties. Need a quick turnaround? I can be ready in as little as 20 minutes with a stripped-down, high-impact version of the act.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I’m more than happy to perform outdoors—whether it's under the stars, in a garden, on a rooftop, or in the middle of a bustling street festival. Magic was born to live in the open air!
That said, one of the biggest challenges when performing outside isn’t just the rain or blazing sun—it’s the wind. Wind can play havoc with cards, silks, and delicate props. For the show to flow smoothly (and magically), I recommend a sheltered or semi-protected setup whenever possible.

If nature cooperates, I’ll bring the magic—wherever you are.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

While I do have a finely-tuned repertoire of high-impact routines, I absolutely welcome client input. If there's a specific object, name, person, logo, or product you'd like to see magically featured—I can custom-create routines around it.
With enough notice (and where applicable, an additional creative fee), I’ll craft bespoke effects designed to emotionally connect with your audience and align perfectly with your event's theme or brand message.
✨ Your story becomes part of the illusion.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Google it! 😉

But seriously—clients most commonly describe my shows as captivating, interactive, and unforgettable. They often mention the mix of elegance, humor, and mind-blowing moments that leave guests talking long after the event is over.

Whether it's a corporate crowd, a wedding audience, or a private party, the feedback tends to include phrases like:
"professional," "charismatic," "unexpectedly emotional," and "pure magic."
