Magician, mentalist and also director and screenwriter. It is difficult to define the career of Riccardo Berdini, an Italian artist based in Los Angeles where he has lived since 2015 and where, in an almost unexpected way, he managed to turn his passion for the art of illusion into a profession that made him a member of Hollywood’s iconic Magic Castle in just a few years.

After graduating from the Bernstein School of Musical Theater in Bologna, where he had the opportunity to perfect his skills in acting, singing and dancing, Riccardo embarked on a career in musicals. After writing and producing his second musical,A Light in the Dark, he won several awards as best musical theater performer for roles such as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and Danny Zuko in Grease.
