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”).  On Friday 19th July 2024 he presents a Magical Cabaret in the Marquee at Taunton School.   

The show explores Baldini’s life through a series of magical illusions; his very first illusion, attempting Houdini’s greatest escape, Russian roulette, seizing control of the ILLUSIONATI a shadowy group of elite Magicians who control the world through the Magical dark arts.
