Hoping to make him more socially active and outgoing, they prohibited him from playing video games and subsequently grounded him every time he was caught playing. Consequently, in order to avoid getting grounded, Alberto experimented with trying out different things like sports, and eventually found another passion, magic.

Apart from celebrities and influential personalities, Alberto’s Tiktok and YouTube videos often feature fellow social media stars and friends Kevin Perry and Katie Feeny, popular content creators on TikTok.
As of now, Alberto has started a new podcast called “It’s Tricky Games With The Card Guy”, which is currently in its nascent stages.
