François was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. After discovering magic (magic tricks, illusions) while going to college, he changed his career plans and entered the show business. His interest for the sensational as well as the supernatural led him to explore the occult, as well as the bible. At the age of 21, he became convinced of the existence of God as well as an invisible world, and found faith in Jesus Christ.
These transformations led him to an in depth study of scriptures and 15 years of missions in Eastern Europe, during which he frequently used the creative arts to share his faith. He has used illusions, puppets, theatre, juggling, mime, in community centers, family and children festivals, evangelistic events, schools, public places, churches and on the streets. Some of the countries François performed in include the United States, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Finland and Germany. In addition, he taught in bible schools, pastored several churches, and was involved in camps, children’s ministry and education.
In 2017, he left his pastoral position to fully devote himself to “evangelistic shows”, camp animation, and public speaking.

As a gifted speaker, he offers a visual experience where tricks illustrate a great mystery: “faith; illusion or reality?”
