Not your run of the mill child, Gerry was often cited by his mother to have what’s called “THE POWER OF PERSUASION!” With skills like these, Gerry managed to get himself out of trouble often, and was always told he should become a lawyer. What didn’t help was the fact that Gerry’s father was an NYPD detective, and through his dad’s interactions with his siblings, Gerry picked up some subtle strategies thanks to his naturally intuitive nature.
As a young teen, Gerry studied the art of illusions and visual misdirection, By the age of 15 he had already performed his first show for money, and obtained a position as an apprentice for a couple different magic shows. As an apprentice he toured the country, gaining insights and tips to one day run his own show, and learning the fact everybody has to pay their dues first!

The rise of “The Mentalist”! After appearing at clubs and venues across the nation as well as TV and radio spots, Gerry had the nation hooked on “Mentalism”. For a time while he fine-tuned his show, Gerry worked at a psychiatric hospital, studying psychology and hypnosis and furthering his mastery of this as of yet un-practiced art form.
