Abracadabra! Simsalamìn! Apriti sedano!

Mirco Fregolini knows all the magic phrases. He’s the greatest magician in the world!

The world may not know it yet, but what does that matter?

Mirco is eight years old and comes from a line of famous conjurors: he’s the grandson of the Grandissimo Fregolini, great grandson of the Incrediblissimo Fregolini and descendant of the unequalled Stupendissimo Fregolini. He has magic running through his veins.

It really doesn’t matter that the school bullies consider him a massive loser and that his teachers have totally given up on him.

His grandfather believes in him (when he remembers, as he has become a little senile), and so does his dachshund Slipper (when it’s not eating or sleeping, which is never) and so too the beautiful Lisetta (when she even notices he exists).

They will help him in the magic contest of the century, in a competition that will showcase the ultimate magic trick involving rabbits, top hats, crystal balls and…flying dogs.
