About François

After becoming a believer at 21, I gave up “secular magic”, because I felt it was too much connected to my old life which included performing in night clubs. I then decided to put most of my free time and energy in the study of the scriptures, and involvement with my church. This led me to Bible school, and the mission field. At some point, I picked up "Illusion" again, this time as a method of evangelism and a teaching tool.

Some things about me:
