Kristina B.Kristina B. ★★★★★ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dan performed close-up magic at our 70-person wedding in Nelson, British Columbia, and he was exceptional 🔥He travelled from Alberta to BC for our wedding and was professional, polished, and incredibly easy to have as part of the day. Throughout the reception, he moved naturally between groups of guests, performing close-up magic and creating some genuinely amazing moments of surprise, laughter, and disbelief.Our guests absolutely loved him. We heard comments throughout the evening about how impressive the magic was, and people continued talking about his performances afterward. He added something unique and memorable to the wedding without ever feeling intrusive or taking away from the flow of the event.What really stood out was the combination of his skill and his ability to connect with people. Dan is exceptionally talented at his craft, confident with a crowd, personable, and clearly very experienced at reading a room.I would highly recommend Dan for weddings, private events, corporate functions, or any occasion where you want entertainment that people will genuinely remember.

Letia L.Letia L. ★★★★★ We hosted a private party at our home for our son’s graduation from U of C. We had family from all over the country come for the celebration. The evening before the convocation ceremony at our home, Dan took us on a magical adventure by customizing his performance to bring enjoyment to each of our guests. Many of the 20 guests and family members commented over the next couple of days, how much fun it was to have Dan perform his magic at the house. We would highly recommend Dan for any event. He was courteous and professional. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Dad for making our memorable event even more special. MichelleResponse from the ownerThank you so much, Michelle, for your incredibly kind words.It was a real pleasure to be part of your son’s graduation celebration and to meet so many wonderful family members who had travelled from across the country. The warmth and excitement in your home made it a very special evening for me as well.One of the things I enjoy most is finding ways to connect with different people throughout a performance, so I’m delighted to hear that your guests continued talking about the magic over the following days. That’s a compliment I’ll treasure.Thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to be part of such an important family milestone. Congratulations again to your son on his graduation, and all the very best to your family. Michelle L.Michelle L. ★★★★★ We were so lucky to hire Dan for my son’s wedding ceremony. At first we were worried about having something kid like at a wedding, but he ended up being the hiot of the night. You could tell ,as the bride and groom who had better stuff to do, kept hanging around him. Hi tricks are for grown ups and are fun and have a great wow factor. The other nice thing was that he was very organized and easy to work with. We knew what to expect up[ front, he showed up early stayed late, and the bill was EXACTLY what he quoted – which can be hard to find when dealing with wedding companies. If you want some of un at your event choose this guy – you will not be disappointed.Response from the ownerThank you so much for your kind review.I completely understand your initial hesitation. A lot of people hear “magician” and picture a children’s party, so it’s always rewarding when wedding guests discover how much fun close-up magic can be for adults. I loved hearing that the bride and groom kept finding their way back to the magic throughout the evening.I’m also grateful for your comments about the planning process. Weddings can be stressful enough without having to worry about your entertainment, so I do my best to keep everything straightforward, from the initial quote to the day of the event.Thank you again for having me as part of such a special celebration. It was a pleasure entertaining your family and friends, and I wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness together. cam G.cam G.js_loader
