Magic Brunch with Ragidy Supreme

1/22/08 - By Anna Fader

 

ragidysupreme.JPG

This weekend we went to a birthday party that I feel completely comfortable saying had the best children's magician I have ever seen perform. Ragidy Supreme does a show that is completely enthralling to kids and absolutely a hoot for adults. Magician, comedian, kook.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Ragidy Supreme reminds me of early Richard Pryor without the cursing. His magic show is completely unique and doesn't have any of the syrupy/cheesy stuff you'll find in most children's party performers. Between tricks, he playacts as if he is a superhero, talks to imaginary friends, break dances and had me rolling with laughter. But don't take my word for it. See Ragidy Supreme's show for yourself. He performs every Saturday and Sunday from 1:30PM to 2:30PM at Cercle Rouge, a comfortable bistro in Tribeca. Enjoy a classic prix fixe bistro brunch menu and magic show. Brunch is $18.95 per adult and there's a kids' menu with meals starting at just $4. He also does children's parties and corporate events.

 

Ragidy Supreme Magic Brunch at Cerle Rouge Saturdays and Sundays 1:30-2:30PM 241 W. Broadway 212 226-6252
