Eric was an amazing performer for our son’s fifth birthday. The show was a big treat for both children and grown ups alike and no doubt the standout of the party. He is quite thoughtful and generous with guidance on how to make the show, and party overall, a success. We look forward to seeing him again in the future for more family fun. More...

We had the Great Lerdini perform for our synagogue. We have had many magicians over the years, but Eric was one of the best. Although his show was geared for the children, he entertained the adults as well, with quality tricks, humor and great stage presence. I highly recommend him. More...

Eric did a virtual magic show for my coworkers and I. It was amazing! I really enjoyed it and I'm still wondering how he managed to pull off some of the tricks he did for us.

Eric is great! He made our son's 4th birthday magical and joyful, the kids and adults we all had so much fun! The entire show was age appropriate where some of our guests and my son got to participate and experience the magic themselves, the sparkle and wonder in their eyes made the day truly special. :) Eric is also so kind and understanding, very easy to communicate with as we had a little bit of plan change. Thank you Eric for a memorable and fun show!! More...

We recently had the pleasure of working with Eric Lerner Magic at a trade show where he performed at our booth — and he absolutely crushed it. Not only did his magic grab attention and draw crowds, but his ability to seamlessly weave our brand messaging into his performance was outstanding. He kept attendees engaged, entertained, and genuinely curious about our product. If you're looking for a creative way to break through the noise at a busy event, I highly recommend Eric Lerner Magic. Professional, personable, and an excellent addition to any trade show strategy. More...

The Eric "The Great" Lerdini is the BEST! He performed for my son's 6th Birthday in the park. It was such a fun show... the kids loved it and so did the parents! He got the kids involved in the show and made my son feel like a special part of the show... plus there was even a SPECIAL GIFT for him at the end. Eric was very friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. The night before the party my son got sick and we had to cancel... he was able to work with us to pick a new date and I was so grateful for his understanding and flexibility. Highly Recommend! Thanks for everything, Eric! More...

We hired Eric for our Co-op’s Halloween party, and he was absolutely fantastic! He kept the kids entertained and engaged from start to finish — lots of laughter, wide eyes, and excited chatter. His tricks were fun, age-appropriate, and had some Halloween flair. Several parents mentioned they were impressed with how he kept the kids engaged. Highly recommend him for any event where you want to bring some magic and smiles! More...

We engaged Eric for a Chanukah party at our synagogue. He was a huge hit. What particularly impressed us was his ability to engage with all ages: we had almost 200 people: young kids, their parents and seniors. Everyone was mesmerized; everyone had a lot of laughs. People are still trying to figure out how he did it! Great clean fun. More...

Hired the Great Lerdini for my daughter's 6th birthday. He arrived punctually and then put on a great show! We had our event in a public park outdoors, so maybe not the easiest place to perform, but no problem for him. The kids were rapt and engaged, and he did a good job of keeping them amused. The magic itself was fun, and the adults were having a blast as well. 10/10, would hire again. More...

We invited Eric to a small gathering for some of our most valued clients, and he couldn’t have been a better fit. He was incredibly responsive, open to our ideas, and ensured everyone had an unforgettable time. His mind-blowing mentalism tricks left everyone amazed! We can't recommend him highly enough! More...

The Great Lerdini performed at our daughter's 7th birthday party and he was everything I'd heard and hoped! He captivated the kids and held their attention the entire show (with some great magic! ), which was impressive in and of itself, but he was also hilarious and so the adults enjoyed him just as much. We were thrilled with his performance and plan to hire him for our younger daughter's birthday as well. More...

The Great Lerdini definitely lives up to his name! I was nervous about hiring a magician for 7-8 year olds, that it would be too “baby” but my daughter loves magic! And he did not disappoint!! The magic and comedy was great for their age group and for the adults, as well! The kids have not stopped talking about the show! My daughter was beyond happy and so was I! Thank you to The Great Lerdini for making her birthday extra special!! More...

We truly couldn't be more pleased with The Great Lerdini and I recommend him 10000%.Kids birthday parties are hard, but The Great Lerdini made ours INCREDIBLE! Seriously, he is the answer to all my birthday party woes-- I had no idea what I was going to do with a bunch of 4 year old boys, stuck indoors on a freezing cold February day, but as soon as I heard about The Great Lerdini, I was intrigued. Best of all, he exceeded my expectations! He kept 24 kids (and, more importantly, THEIR PARENTS) happily entertained for over a half-hour, which is perfect for 4-year-olds' birthday parties, and charmed everyone! Seriously, a month later, the kids are all still talking about "that awesome magician at [my kid's] birthday party." It was legendary and I would hire him again in a second. The fact that he also donates his time to do a show for kids in the hospital is icing on an already perfect cake. We could not be more thrilled! More...

The Great Lerdini performed for our School Carnival and he was a huge hit. Our public elementary school in Brooklyn has an annual Spring Carnival for children in grades K-5. The great Lerdini performed three 45 minute magic shows and was loved by all. He was definitely a crowd pleaser, very professional and I would highly encourage you to book him for your next party or event! More...
