“I have discovered that you are my twin soul.” – Arturo de Ascanio

“Most men have two dimensions, they are tall and wide, Davide has the third dimension, he is deep!” – Rene Lavand

“Davide Costi is a refined gentle performer. He prefers his puzzlements to be blown kisses rather than buffeting blows. There is something merciful in his manner and he truly wishes to share whatever mystery may occur, telling whichever stories ring most true. His climatic noble effect, where two cards matched, stunned even fastest company!” – Jon Racherbaumer

Davide Costi is a masterful magician whose performances are both enchanting and impactful. His techniques, especially the double lifts, are particularly impressive and come with two insightful forewords by René Lavand.
