Larry Soffer - Mentalist, Magician, Metal Bender Mind Reader and MC - Cape Town

Born on 25 October 1982 in Sea Point Cape Town, South Africa, Larry Soffer's dream of becoming a magician since the age of 5yrs has manifested itself.

He is convinced that his career choice was decided at a deep spiritual level rather than merely being inspired by magic shows he saw as a child. His grandparents supported his ambitions by buying him his first magic set in Israel. His parents accepted his unusual career without question and encouraged him to live his dream. The Soffer family are all very proud of his achievements.

Whilst his destiny may have been pre-ordained, success is never achieved by simply waving a magic wand. With hard work and endurance his efforts paid off and he managed to earn quite a substantial amount of money to reach his goal of attending F.I.S.M

(Federation International Societe de Magic) Magicians Convention which is held every three years in Europe attracting thousands of magicians around the globe. Despite having to divide his time between studying, practicing his skills and working, this young independent man shone at the College of Magic, winning all but one of his course competitions.

World Famous Magicians, Siegfried and Roy, Masters of the Impossible, were very impressed by Larry's talent and enthusiasm and awarded him a bursary for his final year of study at the College of Magic 'The SARMOTI Award'.
