“One of South America’s top sensations in the world of magic …”A resident of Buenos Aires, Latko was born Andres Oyarzabal. Latko’s grandfather maintained a large collection of magic videos that influenced him at a young age to become interested in magic. At age eleven, Latko performed his first magic show. As a teenager, on a family tour of the United States, he met and got Lance Burton’s autograph. This inspirational meeting, cemented his decision to devote his life and career to magic.
In 1999, Latko performed at his first magic convention at the Argentine Congress of Magic. He began winning multiple prizes, and in 2004, took home the Grand Prix in Stage at the National Congress of Magic Convention in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2005, he received the Mandrake d’Or Relevation 2005 on French television. He has won over thirty Grand Prix and First Place prizes and awards. Latko has performed all over the world, from FISM at Beijing, to the Princess Grace Theatre in Monaco, to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he was honored to be the first International magician to perform there in over fifteen years.
Latko currently travels world wide performing his original award winning acts with his sophisticated style of magic. While he is skilled in sleight of hand and manipulation, Latko’s real skill is the power of his imagination …
