Worth every penny - loved by kids and adults alike!
Loved working with Dr. Dave. We hired him for my 8 year old's birthday party, but our challenge was that there was a mix of kids ages and tons of adults there, and we wanted EVERYONE to be WOW'ed by the show. Well, they WERE! From the beginning of the process, he was professional, courteous and a great communicator. He was on time and stayed the entire time. And the show? Everyone LOVED it! The little ones, the big ones, and everyone in between! Not only was the close-up magic so amaaaaazing, but he was also funny and kind. He definitely made the birthday boy feel special, but truly everyone loved the show. I highly recommend him. For the price, he was definitely the best value. Oh and he didn't try to upsell me. Another magician who responded to the bid had some sales person call me and try to get me to buy a package that was a full 4-6 times what the high end of my bid was. Well, this isn't the way Gig Salad is supposed to work, and nothing like the professionalism with which Dr. Dave approached it (he was within the budget I'd given Gig Salad and an amazing magician to boot). Hire him. Seriously.

The cost of hiring a magician in Chicago, Illinois will vary depending on the size of the event, the performance length, the type of show, and the performer’s skill level. Professional magicians with years of experience will often charge more than those just starting out. And full-stage magic shows with complex illusions may be pricier than strolling magicians who perform close-up magic. Contact local magicians to get a quote customized for your event.
