Magician and storyteller Michael Belitsos' The Movies of My Mind starts off with some delightfully gory effects as he begins the hour-long show by sharing some of his favorite horror movie moments and then traverses a lot of ground as he goes through different film genres. He weaves his narrative with ease, delivered with the seriousness of Clint Eastwood impersonating Rod Serling and deftly uses members of the audience to cue up his illusions, incorporating their participation seamlessly into his act. It's a show well worth seeing for the illusions alone, but it also has a pretty marvelous soundtrack and a sexy nurse to boot.

The final performance is today, Saturday September 15 at the San Francisco Fringe Festival, 4:30 PM.
