Laurence Francis - The Mind Magician

"It's not enough that your next event be a success - it needs to be a FANTASTIC success, anything less is unacceptable.
​
Achieving that goal is a daunting task though, and a major component of that success is in bringing the right person on board to entertain your guests.
​
You need an entertainer who you can have the utmost confidence in, someone who is professional in their approach, experienced, and who you know will deliver an amazing show that your guests will love.
​
That's where I come in.
​
When you choose me as your featured entertainer I guarantee that I will be 100% dedicated towards making that happen. The success of your event is my primary goal and my focus is on providing you with the best service possible.
​
You will know that I am as invested in the success of your event as you are. I will work with you to provide the perfect show for your guests. I will ensure that creating your event is as hassle free as possible so that your efforts are rewarded with a brilliant show that far exceeds your own expectations and absolutely thrills your guests."
​

Born in Birmingham, England, Laurence trained as a Computer Programmer and Software Analyst and in 1996 formed an IT company providing sales and software support to US companies looking to break into the UK market.

Laurence’s passion though wasn’t computers - it was (and always had been) Magic. From a young age, performing on stage was what he really wanted to do and in 2006 Laurence sold his company and relocated to Florida with his wife Iris to pursue his passion and become a full-time entertainer.
​
Ten years later that goal has well and truly been achieved. The ability to read people’s minds and influence their thoughts is an extraordinarily rare talent. Rarer still is the ability to entertain and enthrall an audience as you do so. It is that ability which has made Laurence one of the most sought after entertainers in Florida having performed his 'MASTERMIND' show for numerous companies, clubs, organizations and theaters throughout Florida.
​
"My career in Magic is in many respects very similar to my career in IT. If you think about it the human mind is essentially a 'thinking' computer, capable of fantastic things. Yes, as individuals we have our own thoughts, feelings and emotions but collectively we share common traits and patterns of thought because we have all been programmed to think and act according to certain established social norms."
​
"By observing people and recognizing these patterns of thought I am able assess how someone will act, how they will think, and the kinds of decisions they might make in certain situations. Understanding HOW people think (and more importantly WHY people think the thoughts they do) is a massive part of how I do what I do."

STAGE SHOW

Paranormal phenomena such as Mind-reading, Telepathy, ESP and Precognition have always held a special fascination in the human psyche. Imagine how fantastic it would be to witness these phenomena LIVE. Better still, imagine if you could actually experience them at first hand for yourself. That premise is the crux of Laurence's show.
​
Laurence is the consummate showman and entertainer and he combines his own mental abilities and people reading skills with elements of theater, comedy, magic and high drama to create an astonishing stage show demonstrating the power of the mind.
​
Audience participation and engagement are key components of Laurence's show. Everything in the show is designed to provide an interactive entertainment experience for the audience so that they become an integral part of the events that unfold on stage.
​
Laurence's show can fit into into virtually any type of event you may be planning (i.e. banquets, parties, weddings, anniversaries, corporate functions, fundraisers, etc). If your event doesn't have any formal staging then don't worry, Laurence will provide all the necessary lighting, sound and staging you need to make your event a success.

CLOSE-UP & WALKAROUND

Laurence's close-up set is the ideal choice for wedding receptions, parties or indeed any kind of social gathering where a stage performance is not required. Laurence will mingle with your guests performing for them in small groups creating a fun and exciting shared experience that serves to bring everyone together.
​
There will be a real buzz and an air of excitement among your guests which helps to 'break the ice' and generates the perfect atmosphere for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.

CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT​
​
When you are planning a corporate event such as a conference, annual dinner, awards banquet, exhibition or trade show Laurence will partner with you to add a new dimension to proceedings and ensure that your company is seen in the most positive light.
​
Laurence's skills as a Corporate Magician and Mentalist are the perfect vehicle to interact with your clients, prospects and employees in a fun and exciting way that will maximize engagement and impact.

No two business are alike and Laurence will work with you to define your needs customizing the show to deliver your company message, further your business goals, assist with a product launch and more.

​TRADE SHOWS

Being able to build a crowd at your trade shows is a crucial element to your company's success - people go where the action is, they literally follow the crowd. If you can't build (and sustain) a sizable crowd at your stand then people will wander off and visit someone else's stand - that's the last thing you want to see happen.
​
With Laurence on your team at your next trade show you can be certain that your stand will really 'stand out' (excuse the pun). He will work closely with your sales staff to craft a custom presentation specific to your company, one that will educate people about your products and services in a wonderfully entertaining and memorable way. Magic is the perfect medium for engaging people, holding their attention, and articulating your company's message.
​
Laurence's presentations will generate the right energy and the right vibe on your stand. He will create the feelgood factor you need to firstly make people notice your stand and secondly to draw them to it. This steady stream of traffic will build the huge crowd you need thereby increasing your company's visibility and presence and maximizing opportunities for your salespeople to engage with more prospective clients than ever before.
