Magic Dan performed at our son's 6th Birthday party this weekend and it was awesome! Our son as well as the other 21 children truely enjoyed the performance. Thank you Magic Dan! read more

We just had Magic Dan perform at our daughter's 6th birthday party. We had originally seen him perform over 2 years ago at a friend's party and my daughter remembered his show after all this time and specifically requested him for her birthday. He was the hit of the party! Dan was incredibly easy to work with, communicated via email and phone, was flexible when we had to change the location of the party to a much smaller venue, and followed up with me with a nice email after the party. He was also so nice to my daughter, giving her a special "Assistant's Certificate" and calling her and all her friends by name throughout his show. The best thing about Magic Dan's act is that he can engage the kids and the grown-ups, too. He really has a talent for making everyone laugh and be amazed. It's so funny to hear the kids yelling, laughing, having a blast watching the show for the entire 45 minutes, but then the grown-ups are laughing and engaged too - everyone from the 2 years olds to the 72 year olds enjoyed the show! I highly recommend Magic Dan for a professional, fun and easy way to entertain at parties and events! read more

We hired Dan to perform at our 3 year old's bday party. There were 50 kids age 2-5. Dan kept them all engaged for an hour. And, I have been receiving emails all week from the parents saying how much their kids enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend him for any event! He was also easy to work with, very prompt, and tailored the show to our needs (ourdoors & windy). A complete professional! read more

Where do I start?! Magic Dan is awesome! He came to my school in the excelsior and did a show for FREE out of the kindness in his heart. He captivated my 24 3-5year olds with his show and the children are still talking about him. He also made me a believer with some magic for the adults too. I definitely would reccomend him to any one with young children. read more

Magic Dan just performed for us a second time! Man, he gets better every time. This was for my second daughter's 4th birthday. We love this guy, he is amazing with a crowd and very professional!! Everyone in the room was laughing from 4yrs to 55yrs! I'm going to book him for my husband's birthday! What a great entertainer! The party was a breeze thanks to his ability to engage the whole group. He did all the set up and clean up, I just sat back and enjoyed my daughter's party, instead of the normal running around and trying to entertain 20 kids the whole time (blah). Here's his website: www.magicdan.com read more

We first met Magic Dan during a performance he did at the main branch of the Redwood City public library and he was just amazing! He's funny, clever, silly and his magic and antics keep his audience of young kids completely captivated. Having seen what a great job he did at the library, we decided to hire him for our daughter's 7th birthday party -- we had 24 kids plus their parents in a house that's really not that big. Magic Dan was amazing. The kids LOVED him and the parents were entertained as well. One little extra thing he did that I just loved was how he called the week before to confirm. He called our home and asked me to pass the message on to our daugher that he was practicing and practicing his show just for her. She was bouncing off the walls for days after that. (How clever!) Anyway, I can't recommend him highly enough. Great show! read more

Magic Dan performed my son's five year old birthday party this weekend. It was a great show! We had around 30 kids and 40 parents in the party, and everyone enjoys the show. It was a lot of fun! What Magic Dan most impressed me is actually not the show itself, he makes me feel he is a responsible person that I can trust. He always return my calls and emails quickly, I never need to worry whether or not he will show up on time for the party. Highest recommend! read more

We had Magic Dan perform at our son's 5th birthday party at preschool. He was great! He really made my son feel like the star of the show & he kept the kids & adults well entertained.

Magic Dan was a thrill to the children and the adults. What was helpful to everyone was that he knew how to keep the children involved and listening so that everyone could enjoy the performance. It's always difficult for a performer to do their act and deal with fussy children but Dan was able to control the children with humor and his speedy delivery, I still don't know how he did those magic tricks. Amazing talent read more

Magic Dan brought a lot of fun and laughs to our creative department family day in the Presidio today. All of the kids loved it.

He kept the entire group engaged, laughing and having a great time throughout the entire performance. He learned the kids' names to relate to them personally and, importantly, he made my daughter feel very special by incorporating her into the performance. She said Magic Dan was the best part of her party. Several parents commented after the performance that he was one of the best child entertainers they've seen. On another note, Dan is highly professional and courteous and arrived early for set-up. I recommend him highly! read more

great!!! for kids and adults! I cannot wait to hire this guy. he has enormous charisma for kids and engages adults as well. What a great asset to any party.

My godson had a birthday party. His mom invited about a dozen or so other kids over to a nice, local pizza parlor. Magic Dan showed up and set up his magic show and gently and humorously interacted with the kids and put on a incredible performance. He is gracious, self deprecating, engaging, wise, funny, alittle outrageous -- just an all-around wonderful guy and a top notch showman. I'm new to being a godfather, new to hanging out with kids and not only did Dan show me how to do a few magic tricks -- he gives out some magic cards that you can try out on your friends -- but he taught me a few wise tricks in dealing with kids my godson's age as well. On top of that -- my godson is a young magician in training and Dan warmly offered to be his mentor and gave my godson his contact info and told him to contact him anytime he needs magician help or advice. You're a magician menche, Magic Dan!!! Thanks you!! read more

Magic Dan was the hit of our son's 6th birthday party--I am not sure who enjoyed it more--the kids, or the parents/ grandparents.

In terms of practical matters, Dan was on time, communicated well with me prior to the party, he was organized upon arrival and departure and gracious. read more

We hosted a birthday party for both of my children, ages 4 and 7, and had Magic Dan entertain the group. He was phenomenal! With 45 kids and 10+ adults, he delighted the crowd and had all of us laughing and enjoying the show. He arrived early, quickly set up and was ready to start the show 10 minutes earlier than planned. His show kept all of us smiling and my kids loved being 'featured' in most of his fun little tricks. He struck just the right tone and I can't thank him enough for his professionalism and hard work.

We had Magic Dan for my son's 9th Birthday Party. Magic Dan called a couple of days before to confirm the details. I asked him if my son can perform his tricks before he started and he was very accommodating. He arrived in plenty of time to set up and to get familiar with the children's names at the party. Before the show started, Magic Dan explained all his rules clearly and in a fun way. I was impressed with Magic Dan's show. He was very entertaining with the kids and the adults too! He was funny and his magic tricks were amusing! He added his personal touch by calling out our guests by their first names, mentioned the schools some of the kids' attended, and counted in Spanish and Tagalog. The kids were talking about the show until the very end. Other parents were so impressed and were interested in hiring him for their children's parties. My son had a magical time! Magic Dan was so personable and it shows that he genuinely enjoys what he does. The kids had a wonderful time. My son offered him to stay for cake and even though his business commitment was over, Magic Dan gladly stayed to watch my son blow out his candles. He left my son a magic card trick. Have Magic Dan at your party, you will not regret it!!! It was way more than hiring a magician. His personal touch, love for the kids, and professionalism was priceless! Thanks Magic Dan for making my son's birthday party a memorable one!! My son told me at the end of the night that it was the best birthday party ever! read more
