Time: 7:00 PM, Regular Meeting

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.
