History


When it comes to his shows, John has a very unique way of thinking.  Rather than using a traditional audience/performer relationship, John has developed interactive experiences where the audience become the stars of the show.  This allows each show to be different than the last and makes for many off-the-cuff and unique moments between John and his volunteers.

After several years of honing his craft and performing for people in his home state of Wyoming, John launched his first headlining tour, Locked UP in April of 2009. The show, which opened to sold out crowds included a very special stunt.  The spectacle, Rotellini's first venture into stunt work, was entitled -B L I N D- and required John to spend a day without sight, wrapping up with a blind drive through the streets of his hometown in a 2009 Pontiac Solstice roadster.

Three years later, in January of 2012, the show transitioned from it's original Locked UP format into the TOURPOCALYPSE brand. The show, a blend of high-octane illusions punctuated with close up effects, celebrity cameos and what can only be called "special" theatrical moments, entertained crowds across the U.S. and led to John's first full-length DVD - John Rotellini: TOURPOCALYPSE Live From The Gryphon Theatre

From late 2011 until early 2013 John spent most of his time on the road.  After his critically-acclaimed tour wrapped its run during the middle of 2013, John began developing an all-new show -  AGENT PROVOCATOUR which began in 2015 and is currently touring the United States. In 2019, John added a new show - UP CLOSE into his performance schedule and two additional shows, including the virtual ON LIVE with John Rotellini and the newest touring offering, IN PLAIN SIGHT joined his performance lineup in 2020.

On April 19, 2016, John became the first magician to perform at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.  John joined the Harlem Globetrotters (who were also completing another first for the arena - its first athletic event) to create some very special magic for their 90th Anniversary World Tour.

Currently, John keeps very busy, volunteering and raising awareness and funding for charities that include Kidd's Kids, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Win-Win Entertainment, The USO and Relay for Life while traveling the country entertaining audiences at various colleges, public and private events to rave reviews. He has been fortunate enough to gain sponsorship from Countryman Microphones, Honey Stinger, American Crew Men's Products and has had the privilege of having EXPRESS Fashion be the official wardrobe provider for some of his tours.

Doing The Impossible


Doing The Impossible


Whether he's performing for 100 or 20,000, John prides himself on developing routines suitable for all ages that blur the line between what's real and what's not. The backdrops for John's brand of spectacle are as eclectic as his conjuring repertoire and have included numerous resorts, casinos, performing arts centers, theatres and arenas. Audiences learn that things that may seem very real are, in fact, an illusion and what appears to be an illusion is actually reality.

Our organization was so impressed with John. He was the perfect addition to the student activities events, he was fun and funny, he was fascinating with his magic, and he was simply a hit with our audience. His material was ideally suited for our crowd. This event turned out to be one of our highest attended events… I would highly recommend John for any show that pertains to students or family, you will not be disappointed.
