Just caught Daniel's show tonight, and wow, it was something else! I've been to my fair share of magic shows, but this one was like a live theater experience more than anything. The guy had us hooked from the get-go with his performance. The magic tricks were mind-blowing, and the stories he weaved in were just awesome. Totally recommend checking out Daniel!

Response from Daniel C Schaffer:
Thank you Liam for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
We had Daniel come for our Q3 awards banquet, and he knocked it out of the park! He helped us take our awards to the next level. He started by introducing people by name during the social hour and had people laughing and talking in ways we haven't had at previous events. His stage show was extremely professional and had everyone completely enthralled. My favorite part was when he bent the fork with his mind and gave it to one of our favorite employees as a souvenir. He gave a custom message at the end about goals and achievements that inspired everyone to reach higher and really set up the awards we were going to present. For the awards, he worked with us beforehand to get the favorite song of each one of our top sales staff, so when we announced their award, they came on stage to their favorite song. The way their eyes lit up as they recognized the song was a beautiful touch we would have never thought of.
We were blown away by his positive energy and professionalism of Daniel. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true professional to make their people feel appreciated while having the time of their lives

The show was fantastic, I was part of two acts, and they were legitimately mind-blowing. I drew a couple of things, I gained the ability to read minds, then I disappeared on stage and it was crazy! So I’m very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the act. It was fantastic.

Daniel Schaffer came and did a show for our company and it was amazing. My mind is blown, I’m trying to think of how, how on earth he did that so if somebody out there can figure that out, let me know because I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.

We just want to thank you for being here today for our opening day at Estill County. We are tickled to death that you were here today to be with us. We are the engineers and we appreciate the fact that you talked about the engineer spirit, and we are going to really think about what you told us this year that engineers don’t just drive trains, they drive change. So thank you for being here, you made this a great opening day, we hope to see you again soon.

10/10! I hired Daniel to perform for the company I work for, and we were absolutely amazed! His performance was genuinely mind-blowing and I have zero idea how he was able to know every single detail! Going into the process I wasn't quite sure what mentalism was, but it was even more impressive than I was imagining. If price is something that is holding you back on making your next event even better, my opinion is that Daniel was 100% worth every penny. We have already hired him again for another company party and cannot wait to see him perform again! Thanks so much for a great show!

We had Daniel for our private event in Vegas and it was incredible! The way that he interacts with everyone is incredibly personal, he makes you feel like you are the most important person in the entire room. From the moment the first person came on stage, to when that quarter BENT IN MY HAND!!!!! I felt like he really cared about us and we were experiencing something special. I’m blown away!!!! I cannot recommend Daniel enough!!! 10/10

We had the pleasure of hosting Daniel Schaffer at our company dinner in Indianapolis, and it was an experience we won't soon forget. Daniel's magic show was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment he took the stage, he captivated our entire team with his incredible tricks and engaging personality.
What truly set Daniel apart was his ability to connect with our employees on a personal level. It wasn’t just about the magic; it was about creating a sense of unity and inspiration. Daniel made several of our team members the stars of the show, which added a personal touch that everyone appreciated.
The feedback from our employees has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have said it was the best company event they’ve ever attended. Daniel's blend of entertainment and engagement left everyone feeling motivated and excited about our shared goals.
If you’re looking to make your event unforgettable, I highly recommend booking Daniel Schaffer. We will be talking about his show and message for a long time.

I saw Daniel at a company party and it was so much fun! After watching his show I believe in magic because he made me disappear. I've never disappeared before in my life and it was an experience I'll always remember. He made our event fun and unforgettable. I highly recommend Daniel if you are planning a company party.

Daniel came to our company event this past week and delivered one of the most interesting performances that I've ever seen. The magic was phenomenal, the storytelling was amazing, he made someone disappear, and then at the end, he left our group with a powerful, personal inspirational message that inspired our group to become the best versions of ourselves. I cannot recommend Daniel enough. For the last week, our team has continued to reference his concluding message. 10/10, if you are looking for a speaker to deliver a message in a fun and creative way, choose Daniel.

I would like to applaud Mr. Schaffer for his excellent performance at our annual company Christmas party. This was the first time we hired entertainment and Daniel knocked it out of the park! During the performance, Mr. Schaffer randomly engaged members of the audience interacting with them in a playful manner, and ultimately leaving them bewildered with his accomplishments.
Throughout the night, I observed expressions of shock, amazement, and delight from our group. I would like to publicly thank Mr. Schaffer for showing up big, while entertaining our employees and their guests. It is always a pleasure celebrating our year, relaxing and enjoying each other's company without the pressures of work. Mr. Schaffer provided an additional dimension to our party, and I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Schaffer for any engagement, large or small.

Daniel's performance was nothing short of extraordinary, leaving us all inspired, amazed, and thoroughly wowed. His magical prowess and mentalist skills are truly unmatched. The seamless integration of his act with our corporate setting demonstrated a remarkable understanding of his audience. His message in the show was incredible and was just what my team needed to hear.

We hired Daniel for our company event in December. We had some mixed reviews. Before the show was great, but then we had a wedding proposal during his introduction and it seemed to throw off the show. After the marriage proposal, I just don't think anyone wanted a magic show. People didn't connect to the show and it seemed to throw off the magician. He continued on, and delivered his final message at the end and that is when he finally reconnected. In his message he shared his story, he related it to everyone in the room and let them know that they aren't alone. It's a message that everyone needs to hear and completely makes up for everything else that happened in the show.
I could tell that it was a great show, it was just an unfortunate circumstance. I look forward to seeing his show again. I still remember what he said to all of us. Don't be a stranger, be true to yourself, don't let the urgent things get in the way of the important things, and remember we are all in this together. He got a standing ovation and everyone was on their feet.
Thank you Daniel!!

Response from Daniel C Schaffer:
Thank You Cynthia! It was a challenging show for sure, however we have made changes to make sure that it doesn't happen again. We will provide even more instructions on the importance of the introduction, and if it gets interrupted for something as wonderful as an engagement, instead of continuing on we will take a 10-minute break to allow everyone to say congratulations and let the room settle. Thank you for the kind words about the message, ultimately that message is what you had me there for, so I'm glad despite the challenges with the show, the message was impactful.
We contacted Daniel for a private event and me and my friends had an amazing time. Daniel is very professional and his presentation and show left us satisfied. He is incredible! You won’t regret contacting him!

We hired Daniel to surprise our Mom Me Me Jane on her 79th Birthday. She was so excited and loved having him be her surprise with his fabulous magical skills.
Daniel included the whole family to help out with his magic and everyone had such a great time. We highly recommend Daniel and will call on him again to entertain us..
Magician, Mentalist
Daniel Schaffer was wonderful! He arrived and set up early, giving him time to mingle and perform tricks on a personal basis with the children. He was well dressed, used clean language, and was professional and courteous. The tricks were well geared for a younger audience with a couple nicely suited for adults. At booking he asked about the audience and preferred length of show to perform according to our requests. He gave us a great show!
Mentalist, Children’s Party Magician
Our guests were amazed and left shaking their heads at his mentalist skills. His show combines music with his act adding to the suspense, mood, and overall experience.

Daniel Schaffer’s performance at Bella Vista Elementary was truly “MAGICAL”! His ability to capture the attention of an audience of kids ranging from ages 2-11 was amazing! He had the kids ooh-ing and aah-ing, screaming at the top of their lungs one minute and silent within seconds. He perfectly combined magic with showmanship to create a fun, entertaining show that the kids talked about for weeks! Their favorite was him escaping from a straight jacket. Teachers and children alike loved his performance. (The only negative comment from one girl was, “The show wasn’t long enough!”) We can’t wait until he appears at our school again!

Daniel gave an excellent performance at my son's 6 year old birthday party. Ages of the audience ranged from 5 years old to teens to adults. Daniel did a great job of including magic tricks for all ages. He did a few tricks that the little kids just loved! I would definitely ask Daniel back to perform at another party.
