magic , in particular mind-reading . Hence Lucca started to develop their own methods and presentation of the classical two-person telepathy act . Instead of merely walking into the audience , Lucca asks the audience to come on stage with objects of their own choice , thus making this act visible for everyone and allowing for a much wider range of objects . In 2019 , at their performance on “ Penn & Teller : Fool Us ” Anca and Lucca even challenged Teller to come up with any object somebody merely could have brought with them to the studio and Anca correctly |
guessed Teller ’ s choice “ kumquat ”. They also developed completely new effects , such as copying a freely chosen hand movement of a spectator or the revelation of someone ’ s first love and their age back then .
Apart from their baffling technique , it is their artistic approach that makes them unique . The 10-minute-long act “ The Mind-Reading Revolution ” turned into a full-length theater show , created together with a dramatic adviser . The goal of their theater show is to intrigue even audiences who are not familiar with or passionate about magic shows .

Anca ’ s contribution lays in her emotional approach to all their illusions and her bold thinking . Many times , she challenges Lucca to come up with a trick solution for an effect she has in mind . Not having learned all the secrets of magic and refusing to question the methods of other performers , she tries to keep her imagination unlimited as to what is possible or not . It is Lucca ’ s job to respond with the technical solutions , but |
even then , the resulting brainstorming between them leads often to unexplored territories . Lucca , on the other hand , has always been a philosopher and tries to give his illusions meaning and purpose . Detached from clichés of magic , Lucca deals with very diverse topics in his illusions such as true love , lying , reincarnation , quantum entanglement and classical music .
Apart from his illusions on stage , Lucca had been wondering about the nature of amazement and its meaning in life ever since he started performing magic . Yet it was again Anca who encouraged him
