NYC’s Premiere Family Magician
The Great Lerdini
Proudly serving inquisitive kids in the NYC area since 2000!
Who is “The Great Lerdini?”
I am The Great Lerdini!…Thank You!
I am New York City’s Greatest, Most Entertaining, Jaw Droppingingest, Easiest to Work With, Guaranteed Best Chance for the Greatest Party your kid will ever have magician!
But I might be slightly biased. I am a kid magic specialist and after years of experience, have created a show that with little to no effort on your part will guarantee amazing memories for you and your family. I perform all over my hometown, New York City and not to worry, I also entertain all over the Tri-State Area!
But you may ask yourself, “Who is the man behind The Great Lerdini? What is he REALLY like? What is his ‘superhero origin story?’”
Like many magicians, I caught the magic ‘bug’ at a young age. I have my neighbor to thank for starting me on this wild, wacky lifelong journey.
When I was in 5th grade, I had to write a report and give a presentation on any topic at all. My neighbor was a magician and said, "that's easy, write about Houdini and I'll show you 3 tricks for your presentation."
I performed my 3 tricks for my report and after I finished, I received my first standing ovation! (To be honest the kids were just standing up to be dismissed for lunch, but I’m still counting it.)
From there, I was hooked! I didn’t want to stop performing.
I did some neighborhood kids' birthday parties that summer. Then in the summer before my sophomore year of high school, I honed my skills busking on the street at the South Street Seaport. Trust me when I say that if you’re not good as a street magician, you won’t build a crowd!
When it was time for college, I went to NYU and studied Music Business. But I kept performing magic the entire time. On the weekends I did magic at the famed (but no longer existing) America Restaurant.
When I’m not performing, I enjoy playing the piano and spending time with my wonderful wife (who is an accomplished photographer), our 11-year old daughter, our 9-year-old son and our 15-year-old dog. We currently live in a “cozy” two-bedroom apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Now that you know I’m a real person, contact me today to get started booking the perfect program for your kiddos!
