Giancarlo Scalia is an Italian magician and actor based in Madrid. Since starting his magic journey as a child, he has developed his interest in the performing arts by learning various circus disciplines and continues his artistic training by studying physical theatre and mime in Italy and Spain.

Thanks to his constant study of movement, his clean handling, sensitivity and gestural expression truly stand out from the crowd. His magic is characterized by its simplicity and ability to transmit the maximum through the minimal, expressing ease and flow through refined technique. His performances are full of humour, mystery, and the beauty of the impossible.

If you have seen Giancarlo’s magic, you know that his gestural ability is extraordinary. In this lecture Giancarlo will show you his conception of magic and his way of interacting with the elements, which is based mainly on natural, economical movement. He will teach you how to redesign your tricks and techniques obtaining maximum results with minimum effort. A must-attend event for magicians and magicians of all levels. An encounter not to be missed!
