Magician Daryl Howard

I specialize in close-up magic which, to me, is much more amazing and entertaining than the traditional stage magic that you see performed on TV. Stage magicians use equipment such as trap doors, mirrors, and special effects lighting to accomplish their magic. But what if I could accomplish the same miracles without all the fancy (and very expensive!) equipment, with my bare hands, right up close to the audience? That would be a much more magical experience to the audience, wouldn't you agree? And I can perform my magic anywhere at any time without the expense of having to build a large stage.

My life-long love of magic began at the age of eight, when my Dad took me to my very first magic show at the State Fair in Dallas, Texas. From that day on, I have enjoyed entertaining audiences with my close-up magic. I want everyone that I perform for to experience the same sense of awe and wonder that I did at that first magic show. Throughout my life, I have been privileged to have been educated in the art and craft of close-up magic by some of the most successful professional magicians, teachers, and directors in the entertainment business.

Since I perform close-up and walk-around magic custom tailored for smaller events, such as private parties, I do not require a large stage with lighting and sound equipment. I provide all my own props and equipment, depending on the particular needs of each client. All you need to provide is the audience!
