David Martinez, Award-Winning Magician

Here's what you can expect:
- Interactive, mind-blowing magic
- Unforgettable entertainment
- Clean comedy
- An easy, stress-free experience

I specialize in these types of events:
- Corporate Parties
- Adult Birthdays and House Parties
- Wedding Receptions
- Group Celebrations

In late 2021, I did something I never thought I would do (nor did my family!): I quit my full-time job to pursue magic as my sole profession.

For decades before that, I had worked as a copywriter in advertising, marketing, and product development--including the last 17 years in various senior creative roles at Apple in Cupertino. But for most of that time, I had also been doing magic on the side. And over those years, magic became my true passion.

Now, I'm proud to call myself a full-time magician, even if the knowledge sometimes prompts quizzical looks on people's faces: "You quit Apple to do this? You can make a living at this?"

Yes, and yes!

Today, people hire me to bring delight and amazement to their premium events: company celebrations, private parties, festivals, team-building events, and more. Basically, anywhere people want to enjoy fun, sophisticated, surprising entertainment.
​
​I also currently serve as president of the Silicon Valley Chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M. Ring 216). And I've won multiple awards for my magic:
- Walk-Around Magic: 1st Place (2013), People's Choice (2019)
- Close-up Magic: 1st Place (2014), People's Choice (2019)
- Stage/Parlor Magic: 1st Place (2015), Winner Oakland Magic Circle Competition (2023)

When I arrive, I'll work with you to figure out the best place to perform so that everyone can see and enjoy the magic.

I'm completely self-contained, including my own battery-powered sound equipment and my own table if necessary. So there's nothing you need to provide at all.
