Jean-François Tuberosi alias Magico – Take Control Now Podcast

In this episode of the Take Control Now podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Jean-François Tuberosi, known to many by his stage name Magico.
Between his professional career in home appliances, his commitment to football, and his 20-year career in magic, JF shares a rich and fascinating journey.

Who is Jean-François Tuberosi?

JF (Jean-François) is 47 years old, has two children, and leads a full life wearing three very different hats:

• Professional: after-sales manager in the home appliance industry.
• Athletic: former player, now volunteer technical director at FC Pully.
• Artistic: magician since 1992, performing shows under the name Magico.

Football: passion and giving back

Football was always his childhood dream. A promising player at Vevey-Sports, he worked his way up to the First League before transitioning into coaching.
Holding a UEFA A coaching licence, he now dedicates his time to developing young players and passing on his love of the game.

"I want to pass things on. That's what motivates me as much in football as in magic."

Magico: 20 years of performances

Magic entered his life by chance: a magician once gave him a lift and showed him a trick — and the seed was planted.
Since 1992, JF has performed show after show, from Club Med to major stages like the Théâtre de Vevey.

Two standout moments:

• His 20-year career anniversary, celebrated with a major show in 2013 at the Théâtre de Vevey.
• A performance in Las Vegas, at a seminar for a Swiss watchmaking company.

A career in home appliances

On the professional side, JF started out with a vocational qualification as an electrician before specialising in home appliance repair and sales.
From technician, he became a team leader and then head of an after-sales department — proving that you can grow and build a solid career without a university degree.

Balance as a way of life

One theme runs through his entire story: balance.
Juggling three activities, family life, and personal passions, JF has found a harmony that allows him to truly thrive.
He sleeps little, stays highly organised, and above all, he dares.

"Boldness has opened a lot of doors for me. Daring to act is my real secret."
