William Francis is a San Diego-based magician with over a decade of professional performance experience, working in private events, restaurants and corporate functions for companies including Apple.
His close-up work is interactive sleight-of-hand designed for cocktail hours, weddings, restaurants and social events, performed inches from the guests who inspect it. For seated rooms he offers stage and parlor shows built on the same easy interaction, and combined packages that pair walkaround magic with a featured performance. Family and children's celebrations get their own treatment, with optional interactive magic lessons for younger audiences. Whether he is moving through a cocktail hour or holding a full room, the aim is the same: moments guests are still talking about long after the event is over.
