| Rocco Silano was born in Paterson, N.J., and is
world renowned for his expertise in sleight of hand, as well as his originality in conjuring. He studied with the Grand Master, Slydini, who made Rocco promise to "make the world remember me and my magic". From this humble beginning, Rocco has created and perfected his own style of Magic. Described by the late Harry Blackstone Jr. as "the epitome of real magic", Rocco carries with him all of the elements so crucial for "extraordinary magic". Poise, wit, charisma, a european style of charm that is totally disarming, along with impeccable sleight of hand. Sleight of hand that is now being applied to the grand stage of illusion like no other can. Rocco is the recipient of the Merlin and Golden Lion Awards, a two-time winner of the coveted MAC award (Manhattan Association of Cabarets), and has been nominated nine times as Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in four different categories. At the F.I.S.M 2006 world tournament in Stockholm, Rocco won the award for the Worlds Most Original Magician. |
