Where tO START?

In 2023, I decided to ask people who follow my work what they wanted me to do next. Overwhelmed by the abundance of replies I received, I tried to ensure that the majority of them were heard by creating a project that would address many of the requests, entitled Project H. This was a real headache, not because of the ideas presented, but because one project would not be enough for all of them.

After a year of trying to make this happen, I realized I was approaching it from the wrong angle and started to redesign my strategy: creating different projects that allowed me to explore the various aspects of the ideas given to me. This shift opened a new set of possibilities that I am about to share now, by revealing the first two layers of what Project H became. Let’s start the journey.

FIRST REVEAL

One of the ideas commonly suggested was to create additional projects that would not only feature live shows but also include books, podcasts, and videos. To achieve this with the quality I strive to bring to my projects, I needed to become a producer of sorts, something I have done before, but always with the support of others. I began researching and studying, developing new skills that would enable me to be confident in pursuing this. I spoke with friends and gradually developed a concept that I felt would be a lot of fun: TIME FOR MAGIC, a Creative Studio for Magic & Storytelling. This will be the driving force behind the various projects you will see, which will explore new innovative aspects of my work and my vision.

BUT…

…this is not something you can experience. So, instead of revealing it alone, I decided to wait until the first project was ready to be public. Due to the interactive nature of this first adventure, I can’t deliver it before we can finish it together. In a way, it’s like purchasing a ticket for a show you will only see a few months later. But in this case, your journey begins today, and you are part of it.

Without further ado, I am proud to present the…

SECOND REVEAL

What happens when I create a new show? How does creativity work together with my present knowledge and my past memories to conceive a future piece? Where do I learn real secrets from? These and many other questions are the genesis behind this work, which delves into very personal aspects of my life and work.

How to Disappear is a limited edition book with a caveat: it’s not just a book. This multilayered project is simultaneously a book, a show, a memoir, an interactive experience, a practical guide, and a private tour to my work. Comprising only 1,000 copies, all numbered and signed by me, the “book” is mostly written and is now ready to enter the final stages of proofreading.

The book is not finished yet. As this book is also a performative piece, one chapter required answers and footage to be explicitly recorded for it. During December, I have been gathering this information to finish the work I have done so far. As a perk, all participants in this stage will have their name printed in this limited edition or be a visible part of the experience others will have. I am working to have the final product available as soon as possible, so I can share the result of all this process with everyone.

WHERE I AM AT?

FAQ

It’s always hard to predict a date, but our goal is to have it ready to ship in early 2026. The analysis of the questionnaire date, writing the missing chapter, proofreading it, and finishing the graphic design made are the missing steps at this to be able to print the book.
No, that’s not the focus of the work. You will learn a lot about the process of creating a magic piece, how I approach my work, and the thinking behind different creative options. And, to tease, let me say: even without learning, you will be able to perform some Magic. :)
If you like my shows, you know what you are getting yourself into. It's hard to define, as the project itself defies the boundaries of many areas; I see this as a collection of memories and a privileged backstage view at my work. There will be text, connection with online videos and other interactive elements, bringing together all the things I am passionate about in Magic.
If that seems to be the case, please email us so we can give you direct instruction on how on achieve that: info@timeformagic.com
We are still uncertain, as shipping international has been redefined in the last few months. To make sure we play safe, the shipping cost will only be charged at a later date, based in the best possible rates from Europe or US, locations where the book can be shipped from.

LAST WORDS

This is the culmination of a two-year journey, and yet it is just the beginning. I want to thank all those who contributed to Project H's initial inputs, many of whom played a significant role in this outcome. I am always fascinated by how we can perceive ourselves and how others see us in a completely different light. You believed that I could travel uncharted waters and gave me the courage to take the first step into something new. With this first project, I hope I can give you back some of the excitement I'm feeling right now. As for all the others who are joining the boat just now, I would like to welcome you to what I believe is a very special project and one of my most personal endeavors. Without wanting to spoil the fun of the mystery, this work helped me revisit memories from my beginnings in Magic, key moments of my professional journey, and episodes that have defined who I am today. This book is not just a book; it’s a little piece of me.

Yours,
