“Best Kids Magician”
–New York Magazine

 

 

Magician: Arnie Kolodner

 

When I was a young member of the Yogi Magic Club in my hometown of Baltimore, performing at friends’ birthday parties (for a whopping 25 bucks!), 10-year-old me learned that the power of magic offers something more profound than the illusion itself.

Because it’s not about performing magic tricks at kids or saying, “Look how great I am!” It’s about making children the source of the magic – that they have the creativity inside of them.

After earning a BFA in Drama from NYU and studying acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, as well as starring in many Off-Broadway shows (most notably in Charles Busch’s comedies), I successfully built my international children’s entertainment company (my Magical School for Wizards toured cities throughout Korea and China).

In addition, as a featured lecturer at KIDabra – the international convention of professional children’s entertainers – I am constantly learning new tricks and striving for originality, new themes, and ways to interact with my audiences.

From birthday parties, school functions, libraries, to corporate family events, I present interactive performances – seamlessly weaving amazing illusions into classic tales.

 

It becomes a party for parents, as well, because they can finally take a break. No worry, no stress, and no chaos. My team and I effectively immerse children into the environment – they feel invested, involved, and inspired.

From the classics to customized themes, by finding magic moments within the stories, I create something memorable for children and adults alike.

After all, as I learned back when I was 10 years old at the Yogi Magic Mart, there’s no better or more honest audience than kids. And there’s no better way to inspire children, than helping them see all they are capable of, not to mention a little birthday levitation – something I guarantee will stay with your child long after the party ends.

So here’s to empowering your child – one magical moment at a time.
