August 3, 2014I first met Dave while he was performing street magic at a local casino. He delighted the crowd and kept them captivated as he performed amazing energetic card tricks and joked with the crowd. Since then I have seen quite a few stage performances and his act is always unique, fresh and entertaining. Constantly coming up with new material, I have yet to meet someone as dedicated to their craft.
One that really has me stumped was where Dave asked me think of a shape. I told only my sister of the shape. Then Dave pulled a folded up piece of paper from his wallet and sure enough, the shape was on the paper! This guy has way more complicated and impressive things up his sleeve but to this day I am stumped onthat one! Hire Dave for your next event with confidence!

August 2, 2014Dave is the best of the best. He performed for our group of Defense Department employees at a recent conference, and faced a tough crowd. Tough or not, he immediately put them at east and had them all on the edge of their seats and laughing in no time.
Everyone agreed Dave was the absolute high point of the week-long meeting.
I've since seen Dave perform several times for both large and small groups, and he always brings his A game, along with a TON of experience. I highly recommend you let Dave work his magic for you and your event.

July 29, 2014At first I wasn't sure that hiring a magician was going to be the best way to entertain our VIP guest in our hospitality suite. Dave Johnson was the best choice, not only as a magician but as entertainment.
He showed up early to set up and made sure that his brand of jokes and magic were on the level with what we expected. We have received wonderful reviews from our VIP clients all mentioning how much they enjoyed the magician. We can not wait to work with Dave again.

July 29, 2014Dave has a charming & intellectual wit!!! He certainly has the ability to bring a room of people together, creating a great icebreaker for a business event. Before I left, I realized that I had met many people in the room that I did not know previously. Be ready for lots of laughter and good times!!! :)

July 16, 2014Dave is an professional magician of the highest caliber. He has material suitable for corporate settings, dinner parties, or marketing your products. You can definitely tell that he doesn't just call himself a magician because he went and picked up a magic kit or watched a DVD. His material is original, polished, and well constructed.

What does Dave Johnson give you at your event?
It all depends what you want.
As far as magic...
Would you like a magician to stroll throughout the audience and blow their minds with expert sleight of hand? Perhaps he should give them a DEMONSTRATION OF COUNTING CARDS IN BLACKJACK THAT HIGHLIGHTS HIS INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY and in most cases ends in one of them asking to take him to Vegas (which he always politely declines as he goes there for work enough)… Maybe he will make your company, organization or guest of honor's name appear on the side of a deck of cards as he SHUFFLES THEM INTO ORDER IN THREE SHUFFLES. Those are some highlights of the close up experiences that Dave gives his audiences.
What if you want to have everyone entertained at the same time? Comedy magic and mentalism combined in front of a crowd brings scenes of:
• Predictions coming true
• Controlling outcomes by controlling minds
• Onstage hospitality to the nth degree
• Solving a Rubik's Cube with lots of surprises along the way
• A "standing ovation" every time
• Interaction with the audience on a level that pushes the envelope of everything.
• And much, much more
Here is what some others have said:
"I threw a party for the founders of the top internet companies, from Dropbox to AirBNB to Square, and all of them were blown away by Dave's magic.

ARE YOU THE EVENT ORGANIZER FOR YOUR COMPANY?
Looking good for your boss is a trick in itself. Dave Johnson makes that easy by providing an entertaining experience every single time. If you are in charge of the event from start to finish or just need to hire the entertainment, he is professional and a pleasure to work with.
If you have a stage, the audience needs to start no further than 10 feet away from the stage. If there are stairs, they need to be in front and not on the side.
If you do not have a stage, and you need one, I can bring one at an extra charge. I also have curtains, lighting, a sound system (including microphones), a projector with screen and all the cameras to film the show with. All that I need sometimes is four chairs for the stage but I can bring those too if you do not have them (please let me know when booking.)
People who have personally helped me in the entertainment field along the way have been Gallagher and Amazing Johnathan as well as numerous other entertainers and bookers that have put me in front of thousands of people. I have studied the greats such as Johnny Carson, Jack Benny, Steve Allen and David Brenner. As far as my business and psychology background, there has been formal schooling at the University level and continuous education of people like Brian Tracy, Malcolm Gladwell, Gary Vaynerchuk, Kenneth Blanchard, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and others.
-Side or backstage available (we can set that up with curtains that we bring in as long as there is the space to do so)
-Minimum Weight 1,000 pounds stage (8 feet by 8 feet with stairs)
-up to 3 hours of access to venue without public present to set up show for sound, magic, curtains, cameras, projector, etc.
We have had the privilege of working with Dave Johnson on several occasions I can say with all honesty that his stage presence his personality and his professionalism is incredible. I also know that his dedication to his craft and his work ethic to deliver a great show is unmatched. I would highly recommend him and I thank him for all that he has done for us.
