Interests

Hobbies include music, reading,  magic and keeping fit.

MAGIC
Roberto is a member of the Magic Circle (MMC), regularly entertaining clients and colleagues alike with his magic.

“I love the mystique involved in magic – people holding their beliefs momentarily to enjoy something quite out of the ordinary. Magic is a great ice breaker and source of enjoyment with clients and friends alike. I see lots of similarities between magic and psychology and it’s perhaps here that my love for the art developed. Having people believe in the incredible is part of what I do”
