Francis Menotti to Lecture at Ring 50

Francis Menotti will present his lecture at Ring 50 on September 2 at Bishop Ireton HS 201 Cambridge Rd, Alexandria Virginia at 7:00 PM on Wednesday September 2.

Menotti has been a full time professional magician with over 30 years’ experience practicing sleight of hand. Whether entertaining on six-star cruise lines, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Balls or private events, Menotti consistently impresses. He has earned respect as an international industry leader, inventing, writing and lecturing on new magic for fellow magicians.

He designs each of his released tricks for his own working repertoire. After extensively working with them before live audiences, he takes great pleasure in offering them to the magic community!

Over the past ten years, he has had the privilege and pleasure of speaking to countless magic clubs and conventions around the US, England, and beyond.

"Francis is the rarest kind of performer: a triple threat: he does close-up, stage, and a lecture, and he's fantastically talented at all three." - Josh Jay
The lecture is free to I.B.M. Ring 50 members. All other magicians may attend the lecture for a $20 fee.
