” ‘life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away’- I live by this. My favourite part of performing magic is the wonder it brings, the gasps & creating a child like awe in the eyes of my audience. I’m truly blessed to have a career in performing the extraordinary for over 25yrs.” – Rosanna Valentina
Outstanding in the field of magic and illusion, Rosanna is a world class performer. Enthralling audiences from various countries, cultures and ages world wide. Featured in films, functions and many festivals & international events.

“Being a Clown Dr & performing in hospitals was profoundly moving work. It was an honour and a privilege to be granted this opportunity to pull from all my skills to cheer up distressed children, providing much needed, heartfelt comedy relief and creating memorable moments for the whole family”.
In 2015, Rosanna joined forces with “World Champion of Comedy Magic”, Sam Angelico in the production of “Illusionaire Magic Show” which ran successfully in Melbourne till 2020.
“I love telling stories with my magic & bringing an element of surprise, that delight the senses”
As a child, Rosanna never missed the magic TV specials of ‘David Copperfield’ and ‘Doug Henning’. She loved how the magic made her believe in the impossible. She wanted to know how it all worked. This lead for her to develop an insatiable appetite to learn magic that still drives her to this day.
“A Magician and fabulous mentor, took me under his wing & taught me ‘the ropes’ in magic in my early 20’s. Dave Lord from Brisbane, taught me my very first professional magic effect ‘the professors nightmare’ rope trick. I’m forever grateful to him and to all my mentors that furthered my craft . Thankyou!”
