Past editions artist

Francesco Scimemi

On our stage at:

2008 2010 2011 2012 2013

Francesco Scimemi took up sleight of hand as a young boy and staged his first show at just 13. Today he is regarded as one of the craziest and most creative minds in Italian magic: not a comedian, but an unconventional entertainer and inventor who delights and sweeps audiences along with his astonishing tricks.

His one man shows run at breakneck pace and with extraordinary energy: Scimemi draws the audience into an atmosphere of irony that is never aggressive, surprising them and leaving them in stitches with jokes, comic inventions and witty wordplay. A star of Rai, Mediaset and Sky as well as abroad, he has been hailed by critics as a born "stage animal".

He is one of the familiar faces of the Masters of Magic Convention, having appeared on our stage in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
