"I've had many entertainers work for me. Mr. Monti is by far the most professional and is THE most requested act I've ever had." -Columbia Pictures Studio Executive
"I thought Joe was out of my price range but he worked with me to make it work. After his show I realized he should have charged me more. Great!" -CEO Direct Network TV
He's going to share some of the best-kept secrets in card and coin magic and talk about his experiences in all facets of professional magic entertainment... close-up, stage, and television. He's done it all.
Joe's set list will consist of unpublished card and coin material and his variations of effects from the likes of Derek Dingle, David Roth, Darwin Ortiz, Ed Marlo, Gene Maze and a host of others.
For example, Joe will perform and explain Derek Dingle's "Joker Poker": a strange game played with eight jokers that magically turn into four kings and four aces... using no gimmicked cards!
He'll also show you hidden gems that were taught directly to him by some of the masters of our art.
Joe will also get into some serious coin work and we might even see his "One Coin Shuttle Pass" rumored to be a thing of beauty.
Joe works fast and fun so this event promises to have a ton of magic jammed in for us all to learn and enjoy.
