About your Magician - Francesco Mattiello

For some, this may not be of interest, but for those curious...

​

I’m Francesco Mattiello – though most people just call me Franco. Originally from Naples, South Italy, I moved to the UK as a child with my mum and sister.

At the age of six, I saw something that changed my life forever: David Blaine performing street magic on TV. From that moment, I became absolutely obsessed with learning magic!

At 14, I joined the Bradford Magic Circle, and by 20, I was a proud member of the Leeds Magic Circle. I performed my first paid gig at 19, at a wedding, and at 26, I was featured on national TV performing street magic on Made in Leeds.

Since then, I’ve performed all across the UK, entertaining at every type of event, using everything from cards, coins, and mobile phones to, occasionally, just the minds of my spectators! I also lecture at magic circles, offer private tuition, and create my own magic.

​

For me, magic is all about the mystery and achieving the seemingly impossible. It’s my therapy, my joy, and I’m thrilled to share it with you, your friends, family, clients, and colleagues.
