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.
During my leisurely stroll on the Asbury Park boardwalk, I stumbled upon the mesmerizing Robert Francis, better known as the Dork of Deception. Fate had it that I became a willing participant in his thumb handcuff trick, and I was instantly captivated. Robert's magic was not only engaging but also infused with a delightful sense of humor. His charismatic personality and witty banter effortlessly drew everyone into the enchanting spectacle.
I genuinely hope that Robert continues to grace us with his presence on the boardwalk, as his performances are nothing short of captivating. If you're seeking top-notch entertainment, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring him for a private venue. His talent for keeping audiences entertained is undeniable, making him a guaranteed hit at any event.
Split your side funny - great MAGIC!!! Wonderful all around entertainment
Love seeing this guy when I come to the Asbury Park boardwalk. Engaging magic and humor. Makes everyone watching feel drawn into the show. Tip him well so he keeps coming back!
My husband and I saw Robert on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, N.J. many times. He is a constant delight with his humor and his magic ( which is incredible ). I would recommend him to anyone that has an event where they want excellent entertainment and a fun all-around guy. Looking forward to seeing him again this summer on the boardwalk.
We recently saw Robert perform on the Asbury Park boardwalk and he was very amusing and his card tricks were terrific !
Very entertaining and I would recommend hiring him for a private venue.

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.

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.
