He learned and honed his skills in New York, a hub for conjurers....his local client list includes The Classic Center, Oglethorpe County Recreational Services, Bear Hollow, State Farm Insurance, Care Medical, Athens Montessori, Athens Toyota and more...his work is centered around pure sleight of hand. He uses no gimmicks, gaffs or trick boxes. With dexterous fingers, a keen sense of psychology, and a healthy wink, Franceschini defies our senses.

He has 10 years of elementary school teaching in the Athens-area under his belt, his performances for children play on their sense of wonder and curiosity... as ATHICA Director Lizzie Z. Saltz can attest "The kids are mesmerized, as well as amused by his great sense of humor…the patter is half the fun!"
