Who is Joseph Curcillo?
There is no one like Joe Curcillo. For over 30 years Joseph Curcillo has been stunning corporate and private audiences with his innovative magic, mentalism, and comedy. At the same time, Joe has spent 25 years at the top of his profession as a successful judge, prosecutor, and trial lawyer. These careers have allowed him to walk the line between performing for applause and performing to save the lives of his clients.
At night, he performs for audiences in theaters seating thousands. By day, he performs before juries of twelve with the power to grant life or death. From two-hour evening shows to jury trials lasting weeks and requiring a lawyer to perform 10 hours a day, Joe Curcillo lives for his audiences.
His skills as a professional presenter are the result of years of training and experience on stage in theatre and “on stage” in court. His mastery of these two worlds has made him one of the most highly sought-after performance trainers for the legal profession. Joe has spent the last 25 years teaching lawyers, judges and police officers how to present winning cases.
Whether he is on stage entertaining corporate executives or in court defending a client charged with violent crimes, Joe knows that the ultimate goal is winning the audience.
In this book, Joe Curcillo gives the keys to becoming a more powerful magician. For the first time, he reveals the performing secrets he teaches to lawyers, judges, and police professionals and shows how this method can create success for you as a magician, psychic entertainer, and mystery performer. By fusing together a lifetime of experience as a performer with the secrets of winning in the courtroom, Joe has produced The Method for performers that want to succeed with audiences.
