The Internet's Biggest Magician Reveals His Playbook | Pete A. Sciarrino

Pete A. Sciarrino started doing magic at 5 years old. Years later, he was posting videos online without even showing his face. Just his hands, a deck of cards, and a simple goal: get better every day. Now he has over 30 million followers across social media. In this podcast, host Lauren Cobello sits down with Pete A. Sciarrino to break down how he went from shy kid magician to one of the biggest magic creators online. Pete talks about blowing up during COVID, hitting 1 million followers in just a few months, landing Coca-Cola as his first brand deal at 19, and learning why consistency beats every “algorithm hack” people chase. Pete shares how creators actually grow, why most people quit too early, how to stand out in a crowded space, what brands look for, and why collaboration matters more than competition. He also talks about moving to Las Vegas, building a creator network, filming content nonstop, and why long-form YouTube is his next big move. What You’ll Learn 🎩 How Pete A.
