The 17-year-old magician has built up a sensational following on the social media platform by showing off some pretty nifty illusions, brain-teasers, magic tricks, and interesting behind-the-scenes of how he performs some of his tricks.
Isn’t a magician never supposed to reveal his tricks?
While speaking with Daily Hive, La Ferrara reveals he started performing magic at eight years old and grew up, inspired by the likes of Chris Ramsay and David Blaine.
He says his most popular trick, titled “When a magician gets sick,” vaulted him to viral fame after receiving more than 25 million views across all of his social platforms.
