Antonio Labella

italian sidewalk magician working barcelona, spain. but he is a world traveler.

capable of any size show and working any venue, but he is noted here for his skills as a silent to music sidewalk performer.

his character is synical, sneaky, classy, and confident.

i have watched him work silent with NO music! and still pull off some of the most beautiful shows to my amazement.

class act.

he has the power to make you bust up in laughter with just a glance {his signature to be sure} and a moment later to take him seriously as the master of the show and all he sees.

one must see him to apprecaite his act, so look for him when your on the road.

he uses the zombie ball in a way never thought, he uses it the traditional way with foulard and with out foulard as a mime piece and uses it to draw his crowd as a steel ball with a mind of it's own interacting with the him and the people.

i am unable to find any footage, but i will continue to look for it because of the importants of this performer.

he has a strong respect for the art and it's traditions, and it shows in his work.

he has worked italy where he is from which is a tough thing to do. italian audiences set a high standard especially for some one from their own country.

i know how he feels because they are the same way in new orleans my home town, little forgiveness for mistakes and this takes alot out of the performer to master what he does.

he is a good friend and we have shared many spots together, and his ability to work impossible situations will always sit in my head.

he is good to his friends and is respected and loved where ever he goes.

it was an honor to learn from him.
