Rocco is the only American to win top awards at two different competitions, once in Yokohama, Japan and the other in Stockholm, Sweden where he was bestowed with an award that had not been given in almost 30 years. It was in this Nordic city that he was awarded with the title “The World’s Most Original Magician.”
