Rafik's first experience with magic was at the age of seven, and it changed the course of his life. After studying in his native country, Tunisia, he headed to Europe at 16, where he learned from other magicians, books, videos and performed own shows.
Like great magicians before him, he designed and built his own equipment. He went on to perform around Europe, Scandinavia and other countries and eventually landed in Finland. He has resided in Finland the last eight years.
He now runs a magic school for people of ages 7 to 16, with a fellow magician Heikki Takkinen. Together they teach young wannabe magicians the basics of magic and other magic-related knowledge. The school resides in Kapyla, Helsinki and is open for all the interested youngsters.
