Robert Francis, Dork of Deception

I perform a comedy stylized magic show that has audience participation. Everything from cards to coins to tricks with Beefaroni. I perform for all ages with my hilarious humor and mystifying magic acts with my wonderful adorkable likeness.

The Dork of Deception is the not-quite alter ego of Robert Francis. "Not quite," because I am certainly a dork. It's not like I am Clark Kent and then transform into some studly Superman. I am pretty much Clark Kent all the time.
Anyway, I'm a magician. I perform all over the country, mainly on the east coast!
I started my long road into magic when i was 5 years old, and I've been doing it ever since. My parents always wanted me to be a magician. I wanted to be a doctor, but mom and dad always encouraged me to become a magician, and I cannot let them down. So, i became the loveable, magical dork you see before your own eyes.

I perform all sorts of magic, from . card tricks to coin tricks; whatever tricks I can get my hands on. You may have seen my full display of dorkitude at such places as the Brick IHOP and Boston's in Toms River, where I performed tableside magic . I also do birthday parties, school functions, and other private events -- hey, where ever a magical dork is needed, I'll be there!

Some of my other performances include performing magic at church fundraisers, lectures,
grand openings, festivals, fairs and other community events. 1995
to present.

Asbury Park National Night Out,
performing for families attending crime-prevention event filled
with annual activities and community representatives.

Blueclaws Baseball and NASCAR strolling around performing close-up magic and sleight for
passersby at large-scale sports events attended by thousands.
National magic conventions such as Kutztown, PA and Magic Fun Day. The largest was Funarama in Maryland!
These days, you may have seen me on the boardwalks of Seaside and Asbury Park, NJ, where I perform daily, or heard me on New Jersey 101.5 FM, where I was on a stop of the Dennis & Judy Diner Tour May 1 2009 (Four Seasons in Toms River, where I performed a card trick on-air and entertained everyone at the restaurnat) . I recently met up with Dennis & Judy again, and performed for them on the Asbury Park boardwalk in the summer of 2013 and 2014. I have also been heard on 94.3 The Point.

Willing to work within any type of budget.
