Ferry Gerats
(Amsterdam, Netherlands: 2nd of March 1950 - )
Seeing a magician at the age of 8 years, he immediately fell in love with magic. In his twenties he started to participate in magical competitions and won several prizes. Not having the idea that magic ever would become his profession, he studied accountancy. Several years he gave lessons at bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic. After being awarded a 3d prize for Comedy Magic at the FISM of 1979 he put his energy into becoming a professional magician, which he did in 1983. Since then performing magic has been his livelihood. His professional repertoire consists mainly of close up magic and trade shows. Most of his performances are in the Netherlands, however professional engagements made him also travel to Belgium, Germany, France, England, Spain, Australia and Turkey.
He is interested in all kinds of magic, like mentalism, close up, stand up and comedy magic, but has a particular love for card magic.
