Francesco Tesei

At the age of just 21 years old he was taken on by the leading cruise company in Europe and, with his first “one-man show”, he was the company’s youngest artist. In 2006, having travelled half way around Europe with his show, he moved back onto the ‘official’ Italian magic scene: he took part in the first Festival della Magia di Salerno, where he worked alongside Arturo Brachetti, and also the tenth Trofeo Arsenio di Roma in December. He was awarded first prize in both contests. In 1998 his first book, Mentalia, was published, dedicated entirely to mentalism. Since 2003, at the same time as his theatrical performances (with which, over a period of about 15 years, he has visited 3 continents and more than 30 countries around the world) he has collaborated with other artists in the capacity of director and creative consultant.

With the aim of finding new and modern ways to present his art, since 2005 Francesco has once again become interested in Mental Magic and started to explore more “intimate” show formulas. Influenced by the teachings of the American school of Mentalism, Kenton Knepper’s S.E.C.R.E.T. School, he widened his study of the psychology of Entertainment. He embarked on a personal training programme and studied hypnosis at the Milton Erickson Institute, linked to the Milton Erickson Foundation, and Neuro-linguistic Programming at Richard Bandler’s Society of Nlp.

In 2008 he took part in the television programme “Attenti il lupo”, on Rete 4, and he is one of the protagonists, in the role of Mentalist, on the programme “Masters of Magic” that has been broadcast for months on SKY.
