I specialize in creating interactive performances that are customized for business audiences. Whether your Christmas celebration is held at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena, the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach, or the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, I design shows that engage, connect, and inspire. Options include strolling close-up magic during cocktail hours, interactive stage performances for the entire company, or a combination tailored to your event.

Built for real venues, not just stages
Ballrooms, rooftops, courtyards, galleries—each space behaves differently. A cocktail hour magician manages sightlines, ambient sound, and lighting on the fly. If speeches run long, the cocktail hour magician compresses discreetly; if there’s a lull, the cocktail hour magician expands seamlessly to refill the room with energy.

Where a cocktail hour magician shines
Grand openings, award dinners, holiday galas, and executive mixers benefit most when a cocktail hour magician warms the room before the agenda begins. At a trade event reception, the cocktail hour magician threads key talking points into moments of astonishment, then hands warm conversations to your team for meaningful follow-ups.
Logistics made easy
Load-ins, mic checks, and floor plans are handled in advance. A cocktail hour magician travels self-contained with minimal footprint, coordinating cues with catering and AV so your schedule stays precise. The cocktail hour magician arrives early, reads the crowd quickly, and sustains the exact tone you want: modern, elegant, and on brand.
These companies plus countless more trust David when it comes to hiring the best in class entertainment.
Results you can feel (and measure)
After the show, guests linger longer, intros happen faster, and photos get shared widely. That’s the quiet power of a cocktail hour magician—a strategic lift that turns small talk into relationships and makes the rest of your evening land even better.
