About the Artist

Professional magician, consultant and inspirer, Francis Menotti has been impressing audiences internationally since 2000. With highly innovative, intelligent presentations he is sought by prestigious clientele from the sound stages of Hollywood for the ABC prime time show Deception to the Oval Office, performing at both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Presidential Inaugurations. With that list of accomplishments, it’s no surprise that Francis fooled Penn & Teller on their hit show Fool Us when he made his appearance in 2015. A performance they enjoyed so much, they had him return for a subsequent season in 2020.
Recently featured on the cover of Genii Magazine Francis’ brilliance is recognized by his audience and peers alike. Known in the magic world as a writer, creator, and producer of brilliantly deceptive magic effects and methods, Francis has dozens of published routines on the market used by working magicians today.
A leading creative designer of custom magic for theatre, television and film projects, (Travel Channel's Dan White Magic Special, the 2013 feature "The Immigrant, ” Tom Holland's "The Crowded Room, ” and David Kwong’s New York theatre show, “The Enigmatist”), Francis Menotti has dedicated himself to consistently improving the art of magic, even virtually, ensuring he adds to “The future of magic!” (Teller)
