Laurence was fantastic at our wedding shower. He was excellent with communication, professional, and fun! He arrived early, impressed our guests, and came prepared with a special surprise/magic keepsake for the bride and groom. Would highly recommend!

Laurence was absolutely fabulous. I booked him for my mother's birthday party at a local venue and he was the talk of the town. Laurence was great with communication, showed up 15 minutes early to set up and touch base with me, was extremely friendly and funny, and performed amazing tricks for everyone. Do not hesitate to book him for your event, I cannot recommend him enough!

Thank you Kate, it was super to work with you also to make your party extra magical for everyone :)
This is not amateur hour. Laurence is a multi-talented showman. His close up card tricks are world class. His psychic entertainment is spellbinding, entertaining and worthy of anyone wanting to provide best in class magical experiences to groups. Our group was approximately sixty people and every person who attended gave rave reviews for the evening entertainment. Laurence spent extra time during our cocktail hour performing close up card tricks which were nothing short of amazing. We hope to see him again soon.

Laurence did a great show for our private party. He was professional, communicative, and most of all, entertaining! I heard our guests give comments like "he's the real deal", "he's amazing", and "when is he coming back" all evening.

Laurence came over to help us celebrate our son’s 16th birthday! We warned him about the crowd of teenagers that would be present and that didn’t scare him off. He came and captured the attention of about 50 teens. It was amazing to see them all quietly entertained. We enjoyed him and appreciate the extra effort he out in to help us surprise our son. We’d definitely recommend him❤️
Comedy Magician, Illusionist
We hired Laurence to perform for a corporate event and it was absolutely fantastic! His performance was completely authentic and engaged the entire audience from start to finish. The attendees were talking about the performance, for hours after, and how he could have done what he did.....mind blowing! I would highly recommend Laurence if you are looking for unique entertainment that will create lasting memories!
Mentalist
We hired Laurence as our evening entertainment for a conference in FL and he did not disappoint! He was incredibly professional and easy to work with- he scheduled a Zoom call with me ahead of the booking to get a better idea of his talents (which just sold me even more), brought all his own equipment, was punctual and communicative during the entire process. He was able to keep the crowd engaged, and performed a number of different acts we’re all still trying to figure out! Highly recommend… and
Laurence Francis recently performed at our last meeting. His performance was fantastic. Our group was amazed by his ability to ascertain the answers to our questions. Everyone I talked to thought he did a wonderful job and were in awe at his ability to come to his conclusions.
Mentalist
Laurence did an amazing job entertaining our 40 guests. He arrived early and was ready to go by the agreed start time. Our guests were amazed that none of them could figure out how he was doing the tricks. On top of that, he dressed and acted very professionally. I would highly recommmend for any type of event you are hosting.

Great 50th birthday entertainment. The evidence is in the pictures. Thank you so much for your service and entertainment. Our guest had a great experience.
Laurence was our entertainment for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. Not only did he thoroughly entertain our guests (20 of them) he managed to get them all involved in the evening's magic. He took the time to make it extra special for the guest of honor. He was great to communicate with to help prepare for the night and was helpful noting the details. He was a pleasure to work with and he put on a show that WOWed everyone! Thank you Laurence! You are a great performer and it is apparent that you care so much about what you do! Mitzie

Response from Laurence Francis - The Mind Magician:
Dear Mitzie, thank you very much for inviting me to be a part of your husband's special day. You were a wonderful group to be with and I'm super pleased I was able to help you make the evening especially magical :)
Laurence was wonderful entertainment for my twins’ 18th birthday party. He worked the crowd slowly, entertaining the parents and then getting the kids’ attention. His mind reading tricks were fantastic and he remembered unique details about our party guests. He made the birthday girls feel special and used them in part of his show. Highly recommend him for a party or event!
Comedy Magician, Illusionist, Mentalist
He put me at ease with the care he took in planning the event. There are lots of things that can go wrong planning a surprise party and he definitely was not one of them but rather the one thing I did not worry about! Laurence captivated the crowd and our thirty guests absolutely loved him. We will be using him again within our circle of friends for sure! Laurence thanks for the lovely night.

Blimey Caroline, I don't quite know what to say other than thank you for inviting me to be part of Lance and Bethany's wedding rehearsal. They are a wonderful couple and I was absolutely thrilled to help you make their wedding weekend as magical as you wished it to be,
I hired Laurence for a Corporate Event a week ago. His mastery of his craft blew us all away and left us baffled and wondering as to how he could possibly read our minds and perform all those incredibly complex mind games. He clearly deserves a 5+ rating!

It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your very special celebration, Roland. It really was a fabulous evening and I'm absolutely thrilled it was everything you wanted it to be. Thanks Roland.
Laurence came to our wedding cocktail hour to perform for our guests. Everyone loved it and was still talking about it the next day! He also took time to come see us personally and perform magic for us as well before the reception started. Highly recommended!!

Lawrence was a huge hit... we all loved his performance! Thank you for your talent, Lawrence!

Thank you Lucy, it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your Dad's special birthday celebrations. I had some stiff competition because the little bugger had some tricks of his own up his sleeve :)
Laurence was amazing, entertaining, and kept everyone on their toes. We booked Laurence for a private show, our group tried to stump him a few times, but he was always 10 steps ahead. He's a master of his craft and worth very penny.

Lawrence helped jump start our New Year’s Eve party abs he was amazing. Incredible tricks and great at working the crowd!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Laurence was awesome!! We hired The Mind Magician as entertainment for one evening during our annual conference. Our business associates to this day, cannot figure out how he did what he did in the show. He involved the audience with both laughter and personal involvement in the routines. The reasons we are giving the show a 4 instead of a 5 is there was one portion of the show that used numbers preselected by the audience, but they were written down on a tiny piece of paper no one could see. Anything could have been written on that small piece of paper, it kind of took away from the amazement of the mathematical trick. Also, because there was an awkward delayed start to the show because of some technical issues with a speaker which gave the show a bit of low energy that was difficult to recapture.

Last night we had a group of about 30 Dentists together for a Mastermind Event and hired Laurence for the evening Gala portion of our meeting. He was AMAZING! He arrived early at our meeting, interacted with our guests through the cocktail hour, doing his amazing mind magic (and remembering everyone's names!!). After dinner his show entertained us for about an hour--seriously unbelievable! I loved that he took the time to get to know our group and tailored the evening to our group's purpose and interest--referring to dentistry and our mastermind as a theme. He also brought his own sound system and let us use it for our Awards ceremony prior to his show. Can't say enough wonderful things about his performance. This morning our doctors were still talking about it and trying figure out how Lar did what he did! Highly recommend Laurence Francis--a true Mind Magician.

Events like your Spencer Study Club Gala (https://www.spencerstudyclub.com) are why I do what I do Jenni - it was a brilliant evening. Your Business Elite members were an absolute joy to perform for and there was a real 'family' feel to the gathering.
With the Spencer Study Club, Jamison, yourself and Jazzy have brought together a very special group of dedicated professionals whose goal is to help each other succeed in business and in life. Thank you ever for choosing me Jenni and I wish The Spencer Study Club all the success in the future it so richly deserves :)

Laurence was great fun! He added a lot to our Christmas Party! He surprised and shocked everyone with his skill. And he was very easy to work with! Highly recommend Laurence!
Magician
Laurence Francis performed close-up magic during a 3 hour birthday party.
The variety of tricks was very good, and he did a good job of smoothly transitioning from one group to the next throughout the evening. No one was able to figure out how the tricks were pulled off, which sparked great conversation during and after the party.
His presence allowed all attendees to be included in the evening’s events! The birthday girl was given a special performance at the end of the evening as the grand finale.
Overall, a great performance! I would recommend Laurence for any special event.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Laurence was a great pick for our company's event! We loved having him and will invite him back for another upcoming event in a few weeks. He did several mind tricks that were amazing and was also able to relate those tricks to the audience. Our guests loved him - they were all getting involved, participating, and were amazed.
Mentalist
Laurence did an amazing job entertaining our corporate dinner party. With many skeptics in the crowd he blew us away with his talents! He left everyone completely amazed!

I would strongly recommend Laurence for your professional event. He put on a brilliant show for 10 of our clients in a professional setting and yet ensured everyone had a lot of fun.
I plan to refer other colleagues and friends to Laurence for future opportunities.

We hired Lar for our daughter's Sweet 16 party. He was captivating and quite the entertainer. Lar definitely mesmerized us all and the girls are still taking about each trick he did. He can cater to any age group or size of audience. He is quite personable and that was portrayed throughout his act. Lar's passion for his work is evident and permeated throughout the room. That morning will be memorable for years to come.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for the very nice review, I really do appreciate it.
Cheers,
Lar.
Lar performed at East Lake Woodlands Country Club last Saturday night and he was Outstanding!! We advertised the evening with "prepare to be amazed" and Lar did not disappoint! We will definitely invite him back again!
Mentalist
Lar appeared at our country club and put on a spectacular performance! Much of the audience had no idea how he did what he did! Wonderful evening!!
Mentalist
We went to see Lar not knowing what to expect. But I must say it was an incredible show! I have no idea how he knew what was written down, folded up and stuffed in an envelope or what color ball my friend had pulled from the bag. But he did! He was funny and very entertaining that the time went by so quickly.
Mentalist
Merlin's Theater hired Lar for our January public show at our theater. Lar is a professional and delighted our audience with a very well thought out Mind Reading show.
We will hire Lar back to perform sometime in the future.

We are very happy with Lar's performance and the closing act was simply awesome! Thank you
I just hosted a retirement party for my dear friend. I wanted the party to be a special, memorable event. Lar was the perfect touch! He mingled among my guests all evening and they all thought he was great. He finished the evening with a grand finale that he created just for my friend and the whole group was fascinated and thoroughly entertained. It's been a week and my guests are still talking about it. I would highly recommend Lar for any special gathering that needs that extra something!
Mentalist
No, you won't be seeing this headline on the 11:00 PM news but there were screams during his performance. Shouts of "How did he do that?" rang through the hall. For an audience that has seen some top notch performers in the past, the response was high praise indeed. Congrats Lar on giving us an entertaining evening.
Psychic Entertainment
Had a great time at the Tampa Pitcher Show. It was so much fun to see the Mind-reader extraordinaire probe into peoples' brains for the entertainment of the crowd. Would like to see another show for sure.
Mentalist
Lar was very entertaining and kept the audience engaged and curious about how he could read their minds. Students loved the act!

Have seen Lar perform many times. It is always a mind blowing, entertaining good time. He incorporates his skill, sense of humor and personality to amaze and entertain you.

This is a must see show.So interactive,walking around stealling you very thoughts and repeating them back to you.Leaving everyone in the room with blank stares and open mouths.All this is wrapped around a wonderful playful sense of humor and delightful British accent.No one is made a fool,just believers in the imposssible.I would have him back again and again,so intriguing.I have seen my share of talent in my life but not like this.Everything is done in the now, and right infront of you.How does he do it? This guy is gonna be on TV soon,I can just see it. The bigger the audience the more fun.I would rate him with 5 stars in all catagories. I am ready to see his next show,can't wait.

About
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."
Additional Booking Notes
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.
