Magician - MIRCO MENEGATTI

He has been doing conjuring tricks since he was six years old. As soon as he got his high-school diploma, he decided to become a professional conjurer. He is an exceptional illusionist and especially skilled in tricks with turtledoves, which he has a great passion for.

He is an expert both in breeding them and in looking after them, and he dedicates a large part of his free time to this. When performing, his wonderful relationship with the birds immediately becomes clear, given both the confidence with which he handles them and the perfect state of health and beauty of his turtledoves.

He has performed all over the world on cruise ships and in the best nightspots. He was invited to represent Italy and appear alongside the best conjurers in the world in a gala show in Las Vegas.

He was taken on by clubs of conjurers to perform at congresses and more importantly to hold conferences and lessons on illusionism, because his experience on the subject is unanimously recognised. His show is packed with poetry and amazement.
