Francesco Fontanelli was born in 1999, he started doing magic since he was a child (he went on stage for the first time at the age of seven), thanks to his father, who is a magician too. In 2021 he won the First Prize at the FISM, the “European Championships of Magic”, in the category “Card Magic”.
He is a member of the prestigious 4F magic convention.
For the 2013 season, when he was only 14, he was the magician of the national television program “I Fatti Vostri” on Rai2.
In 2022 he was in the tv show “Italia’s Got Talent”, obtaining the Audience Golden Buzzer, and in the final he arrived second.
In his performances he combines Card Magic (magical effects with a deck of cards) and storytelling, to show his audience that something extraordinary can be hidden in the ordinary, and that even with a simple deck of playing cards, you can create an instant of real wonder.
He is currently studying Pharmacy at the University of Pisa and as he stated in an interview: “With my two passions on one side I try to understand how to cure people, on the other how to amaze them. Essentially I try to make others happy.”
