CLOSE-UP SHOW

David’s close-up show is designed for audiences of up to 100 people.
It features breathtaking magic presented in an artistic and thoughtful style, with plenty of audience interaction.

David’s show in Los Angeles has been running for over eight years straight with rave reviews.

To bring this world-class experience to your corporate event, check David’s availability.

STAGE SHOW

For larger corporate groups, David creates the intimate feel of close-up magic by using a camera and projection screen, as well as traditional stage magic.

The projected magic preserves the mystery and elegance of close-up magic while playing to an audience of any size.

In the photo, David is performing for 2,400 people in Louisville, Kentucky.

STROLLING MAGIC

Strolling magic involves more than just mingling in a crowd and performing magic. It blends the art of magic with the art of conversation.

David’s strolling magic earned him a gold medal from the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

At your event, he will not only create fun and memorable experiences for your guests… he’ll also do it in a classy and nuanced manner.

To bring his magic to your Los Angeles event, check his availability.
