David Parr

There are three magical packages to choose from:
Cabaret-style show. This works best for a corporate or private event where there is a platform or stage and an audience seated in front of it. David can do up to a forty-five minute show, featuring magic he has performed around the world, including at the Magic Castle in Hollywood!
European-style close-up magic. This is perfect for parties with lots of people and activity. In an area away from the main flow of the party, David sets up his table, a few chairs and a standing banner, transforming it into his pop-up parlor of mystery! Groups of guests gather around and David performs a fifteen-minute set of magic, then sends them on their way, amazed and happy, and a new group takes their place. He does this continuously for the duration of his time at the event (usually two to three hours). All that’s needed is an area that is relatively quiet and well lit, so guests can see the magic and interact with David, and he takes care of the rest!
Strolling close-up magic. This approach works at quiet events where there is no band or deejay, the overall lighting is good, and David is required for a short time, such as a cocktail hour before dinner. David mingles with guests, mystifying small groups of people here and there throughout the party. He does this continuously for the duration of his time at the event (usually one hour).
Contact David to discuss which performance package will be best for your event, and he will help make it magical and memorable for everyone who attends!
Note: David does not specialize in children’s shows.
