Alberto Giorgi

He has won numerous national and international awards and taken part in various television programmes both in Italy and abroad.

He had his first experience of illusionism when he was a child on a summer evening in a square in Tuscany, where he witnessed a magic show which left him breathless.

In this way he became very fond of the world of illusionism. He started to study this art form by combing used-book stalls and getting his parents to buy him any books on magic that were available.

In 1984 he discovered that there was a National Illusionists Club (club nazionale di illusionisti (il CMI)) and he became a member. He met the illusionist Ruitz, who he revealed to be the person who made such a deep impression on him when he was young. He became his pupil and in 1995 founded, together with other colleagues “La corte dei miracoli”; a club of conjurers with a small theatre in Livorno aimed at the study and teaching of this ancient art.

In 1998 he won Bob little W.M., in 1999 the Alberto Sitta Trophy and the Cagnes sur mer Magic Festival and in 2000, the Colombe d’or d’Antibes.

In 1998 he met Laura, his future partner both on stage and off, and they created their first performance of great illusions.

Today Alberto Giorgi and Laura are among the most original exponents of the world of magic in Italy. With their personal style which unites modernity and tradition, they provide a starting point for an old-style journey in a fantastic dimension of space and time.

The distinctive element of their performances is the constant equilibrium between fiction and reality, illusionism and magic, science and superstition and tradition and modernity.
