SHOWS
CLOSE UP:
From cocktail parties at US Presidential Inaugurations for Barack Obama to the formal Close Up room of Hollywood’s Magic Castle, Francis integrates wit, charm, and devilishly clever sleight of hand for the most discerning audiences around the globe.
Francis seamlessly intertwines casual, friendly banter with stunning moments of magic and mind reading that create personal, unbreakable memories for everyone present. His attention to your guests’ styles and tastes is equally perfect for the corporate hospitality suite and the lavish wedding reception, alike.
STAGE:
Hilarious, interactive, and highly original. Francis customizes his stage performances for groups of 50-5000 guests, from 30-75 minutes and anywhere in between. He incorporates a balance of traditional classic magic with pieces that are solely unique to his repertoire, offering a show focused on warping the audience’s perception of reality while making you the true star for putting together a truly successful evening of entertainment.
​
For special occasions such as product launches, marriage proposals, or other extravagant occurrences, Francis can create custom presentations that uniquely highlight the importance of your event.
COUPLE OF MAGICIANS:
​Francis teams up with his partner (on and off the stage) Lindsey Noel to present a dynamic and comedically romantic tour de force of mind-reading and mayhem. Together, they banter while building (and showing) each other up, amazing the audience in increasingly more impressive fashions. Part mind reading, part magic, part stage illusion, the duo generates a high-energy, momentum-gathering whirlwind of impossibilities while painting an audience-wide smile across the faces of your guests.
