What to expect
You can expect to see mind bending illusions and genuine audience engagement from Dakota Priest. She has excelled at amazing and impressing spectators, planers, and hosts for the entirety of her career. Sets can range from 5-40 minutes for stage, and up to 5 hours for walkabout magic. Dakota specializes in close up magic, which is usually done for an audience of 1-10 people, and can also perform stage shows for crowds upwards of 50 at once. Mentalism is also in her repertoire, which plays even bigger. Her character is musical and mesmerizing, so the crowd never loses focus. From family shows to adults only, performances are never lacking.
Additional booking notes
No necessity for a mic in an average sized room, but if a clip on wireless mic can be provided, that is helpful.
