Hello one and all,

On Tues the 26th of October at 7:30 at House of Magic, Stourbridge, West Midlands, the multi talented Francis Menotti will be lecturing at the shop. A fantastic performer sharing his knowledge, however don't just take my word for it, here is what the critics say:

'Francis Menotti is one of those rare individuals that makes magic magical.” - Rick Maue
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 “live-by-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 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.
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. “I never cease to be amazed by Francis Menotti's creativity. His lectures are like going on a journey through his more than slightly warped mind. You will see and learn some great magic, but you will also learn about how Francis thinks. I guarantee that you will come
away from his lecture with a different way of looking at magic that can only enhance your own creativity and performances.” – Marc DeSouza
