Birthday party 🎉

Dave was on time, professional and very accommodating. The show was fantastic! Dave kept the kids (and adults) attention for the extant. The magic was great but the sense of humor and comedy that comes along was amazing. Would definitely hire again and highly recommend to others.

Dave's show was great for young and old alike

Dave was a true professional. He came early, stayed late, played to the children and the adults. His magic was good and had the adults entertained as well as the children. He used real animals in his magic show and actually entertained.

About

Dave Cottrell is a magician, comedian & banjo player from Southville, Kentucky. He has been entertaining for most of his life.

David did his first magic show for his 6th grade class at Simpsonville Elementary (KY) in 1971. Since then he has performed over much of the United States. He performed in Japan (1993) and Germany (2002), Germany (2017). He has performed for 2 US Presidents and his bluegrass band, Kentucky Blue, are 3 time nominees for SPBGMA Midwest entertaining bluegrass band of the year.

He has won numerous magic contests and awards. In 2001, he received a Presidential Citation from the President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians “Noting David’s service and good works for the advancement and excellence in the Art of Magic and fine works to be congratulated worldwide”. He has opened and done shows with the likes of David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Jerry Reed, George Strait, Allison Krauss and many other stars.

You may have seen David in the past performing at one of the Kentucky State Parks or on KET or at the Kentucky State Fair. David’s one-hour MAGIC show is filled with amazing “knock your socks off” magic and is filled with comedy, mystery, laughter and good clean fun for all ages.
Each stage filled show includes live animals, lots of audience participation and blazing 5 string bluegrass banjo.

David’s “down home” Kentucky style humor helps make for an entertaining show that people are sure to remember and talk about for the rest of their life!

I normally furnish sound for the show except for large venues. Then we will need to discuss.

Influences & Inspiration

One of my dreams as a child was to grow and become a magician....well, I did. Many magicians have influenced my love and desire to perform magic.
1. Harry Houdini was one of the greatest illusionists and magicians of all time. To this day his performances amaze me.
2. David Copperfield is a legendary magician that using his creative infusion of storytelling into his magic always made for a great performance.
3. Lance Burton is best known for lending his magical greatness at crafting a series of acts that were family friendly.
4. Bob Escher, one of my best friends, was a mentor to me as I was honing my act. He was a very talented local magician, President of International Brotherhood of Magicians, and was always willing to help young magicians just begining.
