If perception is everything, then reality may deceive you. In this enchanting talk, Federico Soldati plays with our minds by illustrating that the impossible is possible.

Federico Soldati is a professional artist and television presenter based in Switzerland. He has been astonishing international audiences for over ten years with intriguing and innovative mentalism shows, which he has presented both on television as well as in numerous live events.

He was particularly fascinated with juggling, an art which he taught himself and performed within his family and friends circle. Discovered at a party by Matteo Pelli, a Swiss TV presenter, Federico made his first television appearance at the age of nineteen.
