Cristiano Ronaldo has seen it all: packed stadiums, maximum pressure, titles, records, and cameras following his every move. Surprising him is not easy. Yet, during a magic session he had booked, something unexpected happened, though not immediately.
The magician began the trick by asking Cristiano to raise his hand and placing the deck in his palm. First, he asked him which number from one to ten he liked.

Cristiano chose “hearts.” Serious and focused, showing no emotion.
