Francis Menotti, on the cover of our November issue. is a brainy fellow and it comes through in the magic he performs. He impressed me greatly when I saw him perform and lecture enough that I asked him to join Genii as one of our rotating book reviewers. He’s diligent and thoughtful in his approach to magic, which puts him a cut above.
