      Early life and career


      David Stone was born in Eaubonne, France.
      At 19, a school friend showed Stone magic tricks and taught him card manipulation. At 23, he won the Le Prix Diavol, a regional contest for magicians organised annually in France by FFAP.
      At 24, Stone won the Gold Dove (close-up category) award at the European championships of magic organized in France. The same year, he won the Close-up Grand Prix of South America in Las Tunas, Cuba.
      In 1995, he met the French magician Stéphane Jardonnet who launched his career by producing a video Stone starred in called Basic Coin Magic Vol. 1. This video became the first French magic program ever sold on the American market and became later a best-seller.
      After obtaining a degree in Philosophy at the Amiens University, Stone decided to become professional magician. He went to Saint-Tropez and started working in some of the most prestigious restaurants of the Riviera, including seven years in La Voile Rouge, a trendy beach restaurant where he honed his craft.
      Stone has gained recognition in the world of professional magicians. Since 1999, he has performed his lecture on the art of table-hopping (professional magic in restaurants) at magic conventions in more than 19 countries and is one of the most popular French magicians outside his country.
      His encounter with magician and DVD producer Jean-Luc Bertrand in 2001 produced a successful partnership that has yielded several short films and magic DVDs. Their first co-production, a short movie titled The Real Secrets of Magic, won the 1st prize at the first ever Magic Film Festival in Las Vegas (2006).
      In 2003, at the FFFF convention, he was voted as the Most Valuable Performer.
      His book Close-up: The Real Secrets of Magic (2005) is a best-seller in France and was sold out in less than 15 days after its release and is now edited in 4 languages. The DVD The Real Secrets Of Magic (2006) adapted from this book was nominated Best Magic DVD 2006 by Genii and Magie Magazine (DE), with over 14,000 copies being sold in 13 months.
      In August 2006, Stone won the 3rd prize at the World Championships of Magic (FISM) in Stockholm, Sweden (Micro-Magic - FISM Award 2006) and was voted in April 2008 the TMW Award for Best Magician 2008 ([1]).
      In 2009, he started acting courses at the Studio Pygmalion drama school in Paris, and played in about 30 shorts movies in 7 years.
      In 2010, the FFFF convention voted Stone as Guest of Honor for FFFF 2012. He became the second French magician to receive this honor in 40 years. In April 2012, he covered the Linking Ring Magazine ([2]).
      In March 2014, Stone was voted Best Close-up Magician 2014 by the British magic magazine MagicSeen. In June 2015, he covered Magic Magazine ([3]).
      In 2018, he reached the final of La France a un incroyable talent.
      In 2020, he appeared on he 7th season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. The same year, under the pseudonym of Klek Entos, he also reached the finale of La France a un incroyable talent (and become the first magician in France to reach the final twice) and reveal his identity right after his act.
      In 2021, as Klek Entos, he appeared on the 16th season of America's Got Talent and reached the Quarterfinals.
