Dave’s show is a high energy interactive experience guaranteed to delight children and adults! It is packed full of exciting magic, amazing juggling, and the silliest audience participation you will ever see! The Show averages 10 – 15 laughs per minute! Dave will have your audience in stitches as he juggles plungers, pulls bananas out of children’s ears, vanishes objects with an 8 foot magic wand, and makes an audience member float in the air!
Dave did a magic show for the kids at my summer camp, ages ranging from 4 to 15, and all of them loved it!!
The Amazing Dave came to our 5-year d’s birthday and had the kids rolling! Would recommend!
Dave was very communicative, personable and professional during the booking process. He showed up right on time, and his show was freaking hilarious. 30 kids from 4-6 years old were laughing and tuned in the entire time. And the parents were cracking up as well. Dude's a total pro.
We hired Amazing Dave for our sons 6th Birthday and he had both kids and adults laughing the whole time! He was truly enjoyable and it was the perfect choice. 30 minutes of magic and 30 minutes of balloon animals = a whole bunch of happy kiddos. Thank you amazing Dave!
Response from The Amazing Dave:
Thank you Holly! It was great performing for your friends and family. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the show!
Dave put on an incredible show for our six year oils birthday party. Parents and children alike were delighted. He arrived early to set everything up (so I never had to worry if he was going to show up)! He was friendly, kind, and funny. We had so many parents smiling and laughing ~ and all the kids sat still for the entire show. If I could give more stars I would.
We LOVED DAVE! I wish it was someone’s birthday next week so we could have him over again. He was hilarious. The kids and the adults laughed so much. He was the life of the party. He was professional- on time, easy to work with, quick responses- outrageously good. 100 stars.
Great time. Kids loved the show! And the adults too. Dave was super friendly and easy to work with.
I highly recommend, David. If you’re looking for someone to entertain your party he’s the guy!
Everyone was laughing the whole show. Great job!
Dave was Amazing! The kids and parents loved the show ... five star rating all the way! I would recommend Dave to anyone looking for this type of entertainment.
I can’t thank Dave enough. He was such a hit for kids and adults. He was punctional, flexible and overall amazing no pun intended. I would hire him again and highly recommend him!
I hired Amazing Dave for my daughter's 8th Circus Theme Birthday party. He had everyone laughing and smiling all the whole time! Everyone (Adults and Kids) loved him. Great use of props too! And cool set up. I would totally recommend him to friends and family.
We all had so much fun!!
We hired The Amazing Dave for my son’s first birthday and I have to say it’s the best party decision we have ever made. Dave keeps the kids and adults entertained and laughing the whole time.
Dave was awesome! The kids and adults both completely enjoyed the show. Nonstop laughter and entertainment!
Kept an group of 50 kids entertained for a solid hour. The kids ages ranged from 2 till 12. He even kept the adults laughing and thourghly entertained! I would hire him again in a minute!
Very easy to work with. Was on time! Energy level super positive, kids and adults love Dave.
The show was enjoyed by all, and the balloons are still being enjoyed! Highly Highly Highly Recommend.
Dave was AMAZING, kids totally enjoyed him. I had so many of my friends and other parents get his info from me to book him. I also like how he interacted with the other children and not just the birthday girl, so all the kids felt special. Definitely glad I picked Dave.
Kids had a blast. Even us adults got laughs out of it. I would recommend him.
Dave had the kids super engaged and excited, they all were SUPER HAPPY!!! Dave is great!! He is patient and kind with them! He is awesome!!! The show is great and the balloons incredible!!!
I definitely recommend him!!!
Amazing Dave was one of the best entertainers for children I have seen yet. We hosted 2 shows for our summer camp - a half hour session for 2-5 year olds and a 45 minute session for first through 8th grade students. All of the students (and teachers!) enjoyed his performance. He was extremely funny and appropriately witty. His performance included juggling, magic tricks, and funny-guy commentary. He engaged the students and asked for lost of volunteers. He was professional, prompt with emails, and arrived right on time. We would host him at our school again in a heartbeat!
Dave put on a great show, and I was so happy to have booked him. We will be using him in the future - he was AWESOME. Thanks Dave!
Dave did a fabulous job. The kids and adults were entertained. The birthday boy said his birthday was the best day ever. We wish he did more magic but what his did really surprised the kids.
Everyone, adults and children, enjoyed the antics, comedy, conversation, and magic. Was the best magic show we could have imagined. All the parents came up to me afterwards and commented about how good he was. And he made balloons for all children, very quickly and well made. Was actually amazing.
The Amazing Dave kept the kids and adults entertained and laughing. The party had a wonderful time! I highly recommend him.
He's great.
We asked the Amazing Dave to perform at our daughter's 8th birthday party. There were about 30 kids and 30 adults and every single person thoroughly enjoyed the show. The kids loved the tricks and jokes, and the adults appreciated all the humor as well. I found myself laughing so much. After the party was over my daughter told me that he was the favorite part of her party, and she has already asked that he come to her birthday party next year! David was very professional, arrived early to set up, started the show on time, and patiently made balloon art for every single kid afterwards. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a funny, entertaining show.
Dave was amazing! He was so fun for the kids and the adults thought he was so funny. I will definitely hire him again for my others kids birthdays. I highly recommend him.
The kids just loved amazing Dave. He is great. My daughter who just turned 10 said, he was Awesome.
Amazing Dave was amazing!!! We had so much fun with his show, we all had a blast kids and adults alike, would definitely hire him again he so funny!!
We booked Dave for our daughter's 2nd birthday and it was the best decision we made, he was worth every penny! I was worried that some kids wouldn't be able to sit for 40 minutes throughout the entire show, but every child from those that were babies all the way up to 10 years old were glued to their seat. Even the adults were entertained! He was a hit and everyone kept talking about how great he was! Dave was punctual, and set up an entire scene for the show--something I wasn't expecting, there was a backdrop and everything! Dave did jokes, juggling, magic, and so much more! Best party I had for my kids so far, I highly recommend booking Dave! He is truly talented.
It was really smooth going with Dave - from the time of booking till the end of the event. Easy to book, very responsive. On the day he was 30 min early to set up so everything could go on time. The show was truly amazing, he kept the kids entertained for the entire hour and a half. Some of his magic tricks amazed most of the adults in the party. We had an excellent time and would totally recommend him.
Amazing Dave did a fabulous job at our "Open House" event.
Many families commented on how much their children enjoyed his show..."I have
never heard my child laugh so much!" . Also, he demonstrated excellent patience
with some of the children that were a bit more distracting when he was trying to do
his close up magic. I would highly recommend Amazing Dave for your event/party!
Response from The Amazing Dave:
Hello Gloria,
Thank you so much for inviting me to perform at your school! It's always a pleasure to perform for such great kids, parents, and teachers!
Hope to see you all again soon!
Dave
Amazing Dave was professions in all our dealings and hugely entertaining for the 40 kids and 20 parents for the full 40 minutes! You will not regret booking Amazing Dave!
Dave is great and very professional when communicating prior to the event. He asked about all the details and were very flexible. He was also very sensitive about what's going on with the event. The performance was great as all kids and adults were laughing throughout the show. Great job and thanks Dave for being part of our party.
Absolutely. Worth every penny. Honestly, we were a bit concerned about hiring a magician off of the web for my daughter's 4th birthday party. We had 57 kids and 51 adults Rsvp'd. We seriously could not disappoint that many. Dave delivered with ease. This guy captivated a huge group of adults and kids for an hour with comedy and magic. He made the party an absolute hit. Thanks again Dave. Just call him, you will be glad you did.
So we hired Dave as entertainment for all the children attending my wife's birthday party.
He was GREAT. He made balloon animals, bicycles, swords, even a rainbow for them and his magic not only kept the kids entertained (ages 2-8) but also mesmerized the adults.
I went through multiple youtube videos of different magicians before deciding on hiring Dave. He was professional, courteous, punctual, and cordial.
Definitely a top flight entertainer and we would consider using him again.
We booked Dave for my 10 yr. old daughters birthday party at our home.
He was on time, funny, age appropriate and all around a pleasure to work with. Dave responded immediately to my initial inquiry and always was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had prior to the event. We would highly recommend Dave as ell as hire him again. Thank you.
We used Dave for our baby's first birthday party. There were lots of children, ranging from ages 2-12. Every single one of them loved the magic show. Dave is extremely good with the children and knows how to really entertain them. All the kids were laughing and all the adults were laughing as well. Dave did the 45 minute show for us, and had the entire audience engaged the whole time (not easy for young ones, ya know).
Dave was also very kind and professional. I was impressed by his professionalism. He corresponded quickly via email and phone calls. He called prior to the event to confirm the date and location. He arrived on time and set up quickly. Also, I was appreciative that the deposit was not a ridiculous amount as some other magicians require.
I have to say that I was also touched by Dave's kindness and honesty. He just seems like a genuinely nice person.
Thanks Amazing Dave! You really rocked at our party! :)
Cannot recommend The Amazing Dave highly enough! I booked him for my daughter's 8th birthday party at our house, he performed a brilliant show to 35 kids & as many adults, it was so lovely to see a room full of 5-8 year olds totally engaged & laughing so much. My daughter is really shy, but he even managed to get her involved in a couple of magic tricks, the kids just loved him & the parents too. You know an entertainer is good when children are still talking about him & re-telling his jokes in the school playground the next day. Thank you Dave, you made our party!
We had him perform for our daughters' 2nd and 5th birthday party and he was a hit with both the 30 kids (ages 3-10) in the audience as well as the parents. Lots of parents came to tell me what an awesome job he did after the performance. He is great and kept the kids entertained for an hour and a half. They loved him so much, I had to wait until the last balloon was twisted before we could sing happy birthday.
Dave is a great magician. We used him for our sons 3rd bday party.
The kids had a great time!
He was age appropriate , kept the children entertained and also made the adults laugh too!
Would totally hire him again!
We used Amazing Dave as the entertainment for my son's 3 yo birthday party. Most of the attendees were between 2-4 years old. So I was a little apprehensive about how engaged this group would be by a magic show. I wanted something to keep the kids busy without hiring the equivalent of a Hollywood Blvd. roaming superhero. Dave showed up on time and did balloon art for the kids as families were arriving the first hour. Afterwards, he then did his magic show. The kids all participated in the various acts. Every child was engaged and laughing in hysterics throughout the show. The parents at the party all commented on how great the show was. I would highly recommend Amazing Dave as the entertainment for your party!
Dave has a gift of entertaining audience without extra toys or devices. That speaks of a natural talent. We had children who are 5 or 6 years old. Probably most of you know it's not an easy task to keep their attention fully on the subject , have them follow guidance. Without exceptions, all of them willingly followed every step Dave asked them to do.
Moreover there was a lady at the party who I've known for more than 25 years. She hardly ever smiles, yet Dave made her laugh.
Dave has a gift we were blessed to invite him, thank you for 200%commitment to your job.
Amazing Dave did such a great job entertaining the kids. Ages ranged from 2-10 and all of the kids were totally engaged in the show. Dave did an AMAZING job keeping the kids attention even with the noisy adults in the background. We will definitely use him again!
The show was great. All the kids were engaged and excited. Definitely would recommend.
Dave was the best magician i've ever seen at a kids party. usually children get bored and wonder off. but for our 4 year old son's party, dave had the kids engaged the entire time. and he through in some jokes for the adults too! my husband and i highly recommend dave for your next event!
The Amazing Dave recently performed at my daughter's 6th birthday party and he was absolutely wonderful! My daughter and her entire class were laughing the entire time and many of the parents complimented me on the party. I have seen many children's magicians before but Dave is by far the best I have seen! The Levitation trick at the end of the show was GREAT!
This is an unsolicited review of The Amazing Dave.
I've hired Dave for several parties over the years, and my advice to you is HIRE HIM NOW for your family's event. (Except for the first Sunday morning in February, where we have dibs on him every year!)
I have hired Dave for my son's 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th birthday parties. Somehow Dave takes the perfect show and makes it better every year!
I have to say that I have NEVER seen either of my kids laugh as hard as Dave makes them laugh. I am including their reactions to all of the Pixar and Disney Movies they have seen, all of their favorite cartoons, and even their funny uncle (sorry Jeff!)
Dave is not only profoundly gifted, but he is SO easy to work with, ALWAYS early, and seems like an all around great guy.
He has kids (and adults) up on stage helping throughout the entire show. I'll let you experience the surprises for yourself. (OK one spoiler - he floats a kid in the air!!!)
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I had the pleasure of hiring The Amazing Dave for my son's 5th birthday party! My son is not one for sitting still but Dave's show had him glued to his seat the entire time. I couldn't believe how much him and his classmates were laughing! The adults really enjoyed the show as well! Everyone is still talking about how great the party was!

I like to provide a pleasant experience for my potential customers! I am always happy to answer any questions you have with absolutely no pressure to buy. If you do decide to book a show I have a hassle free booking process which takes only a few minutes. On the day of the party I arrive 15 to 30 minutes prior to showtime to set up and I bring everything needed for the performance including the sound system. You don't need to worry about anything except having fun!
Dave performed his first magic show when he was 10 years old. It was pretty bad, but he got better. And now, just a few years later, Dave is one of the most popular family entertainers in Southern California! (There's no way to verify that statement, but it's probably true. Lots of people hire him.)
In addition to performing at hundreds of birthday parties and private events every year, Dave's show can regularly be seen at fairs, carnivals, preschools, elementary schools, camps, libraries, malls, museums, zoos, comedy clubs, theaters, and corporate events all over the state.
Dave also entertains aboard the largest cruise ships in the world for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and has brought his award winning show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. A few years ago, he even went on a two month comedy tour of Australia but was disappointed because he could not find an Outback Steakhouse anywhere.
Dave is the winner of the Los Angeles Comedy Festival, The San Luis Obispo Comedy Festival, and finished 2nd in The World Series of Comedy in San Diego. Seriously! He's got the plastic trophies to prove it. He is also a recipient of the Governor's Award in Arts Education.
In addition to his professional life, Dave also has a personal life.
But that's personal.
