Leodini's Bio Leodini has been performing magic since age 9 when he learned his first card trick. While in college, he began performing at birthday parties, fiestas and school functions. He even performed on the sidewalk for friends when he felt the mood to perform, stopping human traffic and gathering a large crowd of onlookers.
	After college, he worked for the largest Philippine bank, starting as a clerk and rising up the corporate ladder until he clinched a Senior Manager position in the bank’s Public Relations Office. He edited the entire bank’s publication, including its intranet and website. Over the years, he has written speeches for the bank’s presidents and executives and played a major role in the company’s public relations initiatives both for its internal and external audiences. All these years, he performed magic as hobby and then as a means of second income. After 23 years in banking and public relations, Leodini resigned from his work and pursued a full-time career in magic entertainment. His magic program features comedy, audience participation, livestock, and small illusions suitable for platform and cabaret-type venues. He also performs sleight-of-hand close-up magic at restaurants and occasional short mentalism routines for adult audiences in corporate venues. His performing style focuses on versatility. Thus, he has performed for both adult and children audiences in platform, parlor, and intimate close-up situations. The emphasis of the performance is on entertainment via comedy, audience participation, engaging patter, music and amusing situations. Leodini has performed for all types of venues such as schools, birthday parties, restaurants, clubhouses, malls, carnivals, hotels, conventions, resorts, TV shows, and banks, both for individual and corporate clients. Apart from all this, Leodini also exhibits his wide performing range through mind reading, psychic entertainment and mentalism. A writer and public speaker, he writes magic-related posts on the Internet, marketing materials, magic routines and speeches with magic or psychic themes.
