FRANCIS MENOTTI

Join Francis Menotti as he teaches, entertains and provokes you into realizing that you

are capable of inventing new ideas and ways of performing your magic.

This is not a “theory” lecture to bore the crowd with vague conceptual ideas on “being

creative.” Nor is it a dealer demo or “trick-a-minute” lecture that barrages the

magicians with too much material that they’ll never use. Rather, Francis takes a “liveby-

example” approach to teaching magical creativity.

In the just-over-two-hour lecture, the effects that Francis teaches range in difficulty

from “very easy” to “significant skill required,” so there is something for all levels of

magical proficiency. And, for those interested, there are a variety of products for sale,

as well.

From giving lectures and performances at “MAGIC-Live,” the Hollywood Magic Castle,

Monday Night Magic, Las Vegas Desert Magic Seminar, London’s International Magic

Convention, The Magic Circle and Paris’ “Doublefond,” Francis has captured the

attention and respect of Banachek, Max Maven, Eric Mead, Michael Weber, Dominique

Duvivier, Gaetan Bloom, Jamy Ian Swiss and Teller.

Currently a product reviewer for MAGIC Magazine, Francis is perhaps best known for his

linguistic trick, “Exdislycally Shunuffled” or for his irreverent parody of Max Maven’s

color series, entitled “PRISN- The Off-Color Series of Mentalism.” Francis shares his

inspiration for these and other original material, and teaches how to engage an

audience to create lasting, memorable magic.
