Remembering the Magic of Lou Gallo by Mike Gallo

Lou Gallo was considered a trailbazer among close-up magicians. His work was often described as cunning, disarming, perplexing - even diabolical. Considered one of the top card perfomers of his era, Lou Gallo was best known for his "Gallo Pitch." The pitch has been regarded as one of the most original coin sleights of the 20th century by such legends as Dai Vernon, Michael Skinner and Derek Dingle.

"Whenever anyone asks me which coin magician I enjoy watching, Mike Gallo is right at the top of my list. He is technically perfect, but has such a friendly demeanor, he makes you feel completely at ease - until he reels you in and fools the pants off you!"

~Dr. Michael Rubinstein

"Mike Gallo does some of the best coin magic I have ever seen! His coin work is clean, looks like real magic, and his approach to classic coin plots is always refreshingly original."

~David Roth

"Mike Gallo's coin magic is unique. He loves to take his audiences down the garden path just before turning on the sprinklers. I've seen Mike entertain regular audiences. But I have also seen him reduce a roomful of seasoned, hardcore magicians into a head-shaking crowd of humbled, awestruck kids."
