The Illusion Man

Everyone has dreams. Some people chasing them, others make them. I live them.

About Marc Casellato

Marc Casellato was born in Turin, Italy, in 1974. He developed an interest in magic at the age of four. At just thirteen, he joined the Circolo Amici della Magia of Turin, becoming its youngest member. He has performed on Italian national television and starred in tv & movie productions.

He has also presented a series of magical lectures showcasing his original creations ("Evidence","Cerebrities", "Once Upon a Time", "The Other Side of Magic") and a journey through the history of magic. In 2008, he directed the documentary Le Marchand de Rêves, based on the influence of illusionism on the birth and spread of cinema. His lecture show received standing ovations during its international tour. He was a guest at the Montecarlo Magic Star for two consecutive years (2007 and 2008), both as a lecturer and a close-up performer.

Author of two beginner's books (Magia and Ciak si magica!) and a book on the history of magic (L'altra metà della Magia. Niente è come sembra), in 2024, he published "Woody Allen: un mago a Manhattan", an original portrait of the New York director, exploring the connection between Allen and illusionism.

As a magic and stage consultant for shows, commercials, and musical productions, Marc Casellato has turned "Marc Casellato The Illusion Man" into not just a magical show featuring mentalism, bizarre magic, manipulation, and parlour magic, but a distinctive registered trademark of his creativity.

The press has described Marc Casellato as an elegant and generous artist of magic.

He lives in Venice, Italy.
