"He does it all better than all the rest."    – Billy McComb

Rafael Benatar is a gifted performer and teacher. Born in Venezuela, Rafael eventually found his way to Madrid, and earned his place in the renowned Escuela Mágica de Madrid. There he absorbed all he could from the Spanish masters: Arturo de Ascanio, Joaquin Navajas, Miguel Gomez, Camilo Vasquez, and Juan Tamariz. He's shared their knowledge through his translations and lectures across the world, along with his own unique contributions to the art.

He is a favorite at the Magic Castle, performing in just about every room. He is a recipient of the Linking Ring Parade of the Year Award from the IBM, the Ascanio Award as close-up magician of the year, the Sharing Secrets award from Magicana, and two nominations from the Academy of Magical Arts as Lecturer of the Year.

THE LECTURE

Rafael Benatar’s lecture will include commercial and practical items from his working repertoire, including close-up and stand-up material and his latest update on his well-known cups and balls routine, with new insight on this classic.

His explanations will be full of practical advice that can help bring your magic to the next level, with invaluable advice on scripting, management, and handling of volunteers.

And for more of Rafael, come for the private workshops on September 19 or book a private lesson while he's in town. Spaces are extremely limited, so email us at montrealmagicjam@gmail.com for more details.
