The Great Baldini is a magical legend, a relict of the music halls and a theatrical performer of the old school.
Known throughout the world as ‘The Emperor of Illusion’, ‘The Prince of Prestidigitation’, and ‘The Maharajah of Mystery’, he is a hugely entertaining stage magician.
He has astounded audiences from the Edinburgh Fringe to Radio 4 listeners (where he performed on-air magic for “Front Row” and “Pick of the Week”). The show explores Baldini’s life through a series of magical illusions; his very first illusion, seizing control of the ILLUSIONATI (a shadowy group of elite Magicians who control the world through the Magical dark arts) and attempting Houdini’s greatest escape.
A joyously silly romp through magic.
The Great Baldini is a member of the Magic Circle and an award-winning Stage Magician.
