Seasoned international corporate magician and mentalist Francis Menotti is among the small percentage of magicians to fool Penn & Teller on Fool Us, doing so in 2015 and with a repeat appearance in 2020, and he appeared on Masters of Illusion in 2019. Behind the camera he created all of the magic for ABC's crime drama Deception, and Teller has called him the "future of magic".
Francis blends casual, friendly banter with stunning moments of magic and mind reading, from cocktail parties at US Presidential Inaugurations for Barack Obama to the formal Close Up room of Hollywood's Magic Castle, where he headlines frequently alongside the Chicago Magic Lounge. With twenty years of professional experience, his work suits the corporate hospitality suite and the lavish wedding reception alike.
