Bustric

On our stage at:

2012 2013 FISM European Championship 2024

Sergio Bini, known as Bustric, is an author, director, actor and magician. He holds a diploma from the Magistero d'Arte in Florence and a degree in Letters and Philosophy from Bologna, and trained in Paris at the circus school of Annie Fratellini and Pierre Étaix and the mime school of Étienne Decroux, later studying with John Strasberg and Zygmunt Molik. His theatre is colourful and comic, magical, at times poetic and certainly unique, and he has taken it to many European countries, Somalia and the Americas, performing in Italian, English, Spanish and French.

On screen he played Ferruccio, Benigni's poet friend in the Oscar winning "Life is Beautiful", and worked with Comencini, Ricky Tognazzi, Woody Allen ("To Rome with Love") and George Clooney ("Catch-22"). His shows include "The Wonderful Art of Deception", "Napoleon Magic Emperor" and "Nuvolo", alongside many musical theatre works with orchestra, from "Peter and the Wolf" to "Pictures at an Exhibition", and he directed "Don Giovanni" at the Teatro Colón in Bogotá. His magical walks have even brought the Uffizi Gallery to life, and in 2024 he created "Prof. Bustric's Flea Circus".

He was our guest at the Masters of Magic Convention in 2012 and 2013, and at the FISM European Championship of Magic in Saint-Vincent in 2024.
