 A priest who uses magic tricks to entertain his congregation has asked the Pope to name a patron saint of conjurers, magicians, and wizards.

Don Silvio Mantelli, a Salesian priest from Turin, presented a magic wand to the Pope earlier this year and asked for the title to be given to a 19th Century Italian priest – Saint Giovanni Bosco. 
 Don Silvio says that the Pope replied: “You’ll need a lot of magic wands to change our world; but lets make a start with this one!” 
 He expects a favourable answer from Rome within the year.
