i heard that presto means fast in italian!

I'm an American and I've never heard anyone say, "I presto". I've only heard "presto" used in a joking way. You might say "presto" as you show someone something to create a dramatic effect. It would have to be that you're showing them something that's a surprise. An American could go a whole lifetime and never say "Presto" unless they're a magician.
people do not say that
