An Evening of Magic, Mystery and Mind-Reading

On Monday, Nov. 17, at 7 pm, the Milford Historical Society will present an evening of Magic, Myster and Mind-Reading with Jim Sisti, a well-known Connecticut magician and mentalist. The event is free and open to the public at the Mary Taylor Memorial Methodist Church on South Broad Street in Milford.

Sisti has been performing magic full-time for more than 30 years. His unique brand of comedy magic and mentalism has taken him from local nightspots and comedy clubs to the off-Broadway stage. His list of clients includes numerous Fortune 500 companies, actor Richard Dreyfuss, and many others.

Sisti is also a mentalist – a performing art in which he appears to demonstrate highly developed mental or intuitive abilities. As a performance art, mentalism involves using observation, subtle techniques and psychological principles to create the illusion of superhuman mental abilities like mind-reading or prediction.
