Influences and inspiration

David Shareef's influences range from the psychological mastery of Derren Brown to the grand stagecraft of David Copperfield... But his earliest and most personal inspiration came from Muhammad Ali, whose classroom magic sparked his fascination. Blending those influences with his own background in psychology and hypnosis, Sharif has crafted a style that's theatrical, immersive, and distinctly his own.
