I was born under the astrological sign of Taurus, Piscis ascendant and moon on Libra; Wooden Dragon year. It is said that dragons spit fire from their mouths and that was me when I was a kid: howling day and night, crying out for wanting to be a magician as long as I can remember. My mother took me to the TURO PARK to see the typical children's show; there I remember vaguely seeing a magician performing with silks and pigeons.

After that, came the typical magic sets for Christmas, and what at the beginning was a game became totally out of hand.

I began studying in the Redeemer Boarding School since my mum had some health troubles my tutor was obliged to shut me away there for a time. There, sharing life and miracles with kids of all ages and social conditions, my everyday life was not as happy as my family would have liked.

Once this step finished with the Holy Sacrament of First Communion in San José de la Montaña, beautiful hermitage of the Barcelona posh area, I became a pupil of the San Miquel School where discipline was imposed by the Sacred Heart of Jesus missionaries. Times were changing and things were getting better at home. Either way, mum had to fight against all odds in order to pull through a son who, by circumstances of live, had been deprived of a father figure. This implied social prejudices from some people of her circle but never from family, who have always showed great affection towards me and a huge respect towards mum.

I lived between mum's and my uncles' Juan and Leonor and their daughter Pilar Tormo. In the latter's house I learnt some of the most indispensable values from a human point of view: to listen, to be passionate about art and the importance of reading as a stimulus for imagination.

It was then when the relationship between mum and Antonio strengthened; Antonio, who had been my tutor previously during mum's absence. Together in summer, we would go for walks and we lived moderately, also protected by the efforts my mum made in having her own beauty salon.

Meanwhile, I was getting older and kept studying not without some difficulties. Consequently, I started to work as a door-to-door encyclopaedia salesman and even became head of a successful group and had great chances of becoming regional director. Afterwards, when mum sold her beauty salon and devoted herself to the property sector, I worked at only 17 in the client winning department successfully and was getting great incomes.

Before I was 18 I discovered the theatre bar LLANTIOL. I was completely dazzled by the real world of magic, which I was familiar to due to the Wednesday's meetings at the C.E.D.A.M, now dissolved. There I met some of my magic still best friends.

It was at this time that mum and Antonio disagreed on me devoting or inclining to show business, since mum knew by experience how hard the path I chose could be and the many personal problems it would bring due to my character and personality.

To some extent they were not wrong, but only to some extent, as magic not only was show business in the 50's but is art nowadays, I daresay a science in which the audience become more and more exacting and that helps you excelling everyday, making you studying even more and stimulating your imagination, which is something that fulfils me at 100 per cent. Magic is my life, my way of thinking, learning while teaching and reason things you do not understand, intellectually speaking, always in seek of magic emotion.

I draw a parallelism between magic and science as a magician has also to spend his life studying new tendencies and innovations of classic theories in order to better or in some occasions only to change the method, to simplify it independently learning as if he were a scientist.

Nevertheless, the most valid and sole and obviously final thermometer is the audience, the recipient of this art or science which, regardless of being visual or plastic, is above all based on the interaction and communication with the audience, from all social stratums and with no discrimination on kind, culture or socioeconomic class.
