Cameron Francis 

From the time he was a small child, Cameron has been fascinated with magic. At the age of ten he acquired a colorful Mak Magic catalog and was completely entranced by the shiny boxes, rice bowls, colorful silks in the pages within. On weekends, Cameron would beg his father to drive him to the magic store where he would spend all of his hard earned allowance money on whatever exotic props he could afford. From elementary school up until he left for college, Cameron put these props to good use and performed his share of birthday parties, school events and Cub Scout meetings. During college, however, magic fell to the wayside as he spent more time focusing on becoming an actor (Plus it was really hard to get a date wearing a ruffled shirt and black cape).

One day, while attending graduate school in Washington D.C., Cameron stumbled into a magic store. As soon as he opened the door and saw the colorful apparatus lining the walls and smelled the aroma of stale sponge balls in the air, he was instantly smitten again. Walking out with a copy of The Royal Road to Card Magic and a Scotch and Soda set, Cameron's interest in magic was rekindled. Although this time, instead of being fascinated with ornate boxes and tubes, he became enthralled with sleight of hand magic. This was a big step for him as the only card tricks he previously performed had the words “Svengali” or “Invisible” printed on the box. He would, however, remain a bit of a closeted magician for several years until his wife Beth gave him the encouragement to take it to the next level and start performing magic professionally.

Today Cameron works both as an actor on stage and screen and as a close up magician. He currently lives in North Central Florida with Beth and daughter Gianna.
