the first European festival on creativity

2011 Programme

Evento n.38

Francesco Tesei

Mind Juggler

According to Milton Erickson, each one of us is much more than he thinks he is, and knows much more than he thinks he knows. Based upon this statement, Francesco Tesei transforms the most modern and effective techniques of mentalism, subliminal communication and psychological illusionism, and through them invites everyone to draw on the ‘magical’ resources of the unconscious. Like a true and proper ‘mind juggler,’ Tesei presents a performance of acrobatic evolutions involving some of the most intimate and personal things—our dreams, our mind. the true protagonist of the performance, however, is the audience, invited to play with the five senses, thoughts, and perceptions, under the guidance of the ‘mentalist.’

Francesco Tesei

was born in Forlì. He holds a certificate in Erickson hypnosis and a Masters degree in neuro-linguistic programming from the Milton Erickson Institute of Turin. But his official papers describe him an ‘artist,’ which is a very narrow description since he is Italy’s leading mentalist, and one of the most widely renowned internationally. As creative consultant and as stage director, he has conducted a number of projects in cooperation with other artist. He has also been working as an illusionist for 15 years, and his performances in more than 30 countries of three continents have won him a number of awards and trophies. He has authored a book on mentalism, Mentalica (La Porta Magica 1998).
