Corporate Magician in Huntington Beach, California

Huntington Beach has a way of loosening people up. The ocean is right there, the pace is easy, and a corporate event here feels like a genuine escape — which is exactly why so many companies bring their retreats, conferences, and celebrations to Surf City. But relaxed doesn’t mean casual entertainment. When you’ve flown a team to the coast or booked a beachfront ballroom for your best clients, you want a show that matches the setting: polished, surprising, and memorable. That’s what I bring. I’m David Malek, a professional corporate magician, and I deliver sophisticated close-up and stage magic that turns a Huntington Beach event into the one everyone talks about on the flight home.

For over 27 years, I’ve performed for companies across Southern California, and Huntington Beach is a favorite room to work — whether it’s a welcome reception on a resort terrace, close-up magic mingling through a conference dinner, or a stage show to headline an evening program. The magic is baffling and warm, tuned to the tone of your event and the ease of a coastal crowd, and always delivered with the professionalism that makes your evening run smoothly.

Built for beachfront retreats and conferences

Huntington Beach’s oceanfront resorts — The Waterfront Beach Resort, the Paséa Hotel & Spa, the Kimpton Shorebreak, and the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa — have made the city one of Southern California’s top destinations for multi-day corporate events. Companies come here for sales kickoffs, executive retreats, incentive trips, and annual conferences, and those agendas have a specific need: something that breaks the ice on the first night and gives people a shared, memorable moment away from the slide decks. That’s a role I fill perfectly. A close-up set at the welcome reception gets a traveling team talking and laughing within minutes; a stage show gives your conference a genuine headline. I coordinate with your planner and the resort so the entertainment slots cleanly into a packed multi-day agenda.

And it’s not only visiting companies — Huntington Beach’s own employers, from its aerospace and technology base to its well-known action-sports brands, host holiday parties and celebrations that call for the same polished, surprising entertainment.

Where I perform in Huntington Beach

I regularly work events across the city’s resorts and venues. That includes the beachfront hotels — The Waterfront Beach Resort, Paséa Hotel & Spa, Kimpton Shorebreak, and the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach — where I perform at conferences, retreats, welcome receptions, and galas. I also entertain at company parties and private events around downtown Main Street, Pacific City, and the pier, at corporate offices throughout the Huntington Beach business parks, and at private venues and homes across the city. Whether your event is oceanfront or inland, I bring everything I need.

If your event is somewhere I haven’t named, that’s no obstacle — I’ve performed at nearly every resort and venue in the Huntington Beach area. All I ask for is a little room and a crowd ready to be amazed.

The events Huntington Beach companies book me for

Corporate retreats and conferences lead the list — welcome receptions, evening programs, and dinners where a mix of close-up and stage magic elevates a multi-day agenda. I’m also booked for sales kickoffs and incentive trips, holiday parties and team celebrations for local HB companies, client-appreciation events at the resorts, executive and milestone gatherings, and product or brand events. Whatever the occasion, the goal is the same: give your guests a genuinely memorable experience that fits the easy, upscale feel of the coast.

What makes the show different

Two things set the work apart. First, the magic is genuinely world-class — material refined over thousands of performances, strong enough to astonish any audience, however relaxed the setting. Second, it’s delivered with real professionalism: I arrive early, coordinate with your planner and venue, dress for your event, and make the evening feel effortless. You’re not booking a novelty act; you’re booking someone who understands how to elevate a corporate event and never creates a moment you’d have to apologize for. That combination — exceptional magic and effortless professionalism — is why companies rebook me year after year and refer me to the teams they meet at the coast.

“David, our award winner, guests, and management immensely enjoyed your performance at more than five events you have performed at for our organization. You are professional, entertaining, and talented. You had our folks laughing to the point of tears and mesmerized by your talents as a magician.”

— Sandra J. Anderson, Sr. Director of Human Resources, Huntington Beach Hospital

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you perform at a corporate retreat or conference at a Huntington Beach resort?

Yes — it’s one of my most common bookings here. For a multi-day program, close-up magic at the welcome reception is a fantastic icebreaker for a traveling team, and a stage show makes a strong headline for an evening event or awards night. I coordinate directly with your planner and the resort (the Waterfront, Paséa, Shorebreak, or Hyatt Regency) so the entertainment fits neatly into your agenda and run-of-show.

How much does it cost to hire a corporate magician in Huntington Beach?

Corporate bookings start at $3,500 and are quoted per event based on your guest count, the format (close-up, stage, or both), and how long you’d like me on-site. Quotes are all-inclusive — no surprise travel or equipment fees for events in the Huntington Beach area. Share your date and details through the contact form for an exact figure.

Do you perform close-up magic, stage magic, or both?

Both, and most Huntington Beach events use a mix. Close-up magic is perfect during a reception or dinner — I move table to table, performing inches from your guests. A stage set becomes the showpiece after dinner or during a program, scaling to a few hundred people. On a call, I’ll recommend the right format for your venue and agenda.​​

How far in advance should we book, especially for a resort event or holiday party?

For resort retreats and December holiday parties, the earlier the better — prime dates and the beachfront venues are often claimed months ahead. For events at other times of year, a few weeks’ notice is usually workable. If your date is close, reach out anyway and I’ll tell you right away whether it’s open.

Let’s check your date

If you’re planning an event or retreat in Huntington Beach, the best next step is a short conversation about your program, your guests, and what you want them to walk away with. Resort dates and December book up early, so if you have something in mind it’s worth reaching out ahead. Call or send a note through the contact form and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit and whether your date is open.

With world-class venues like the Waterfront Beach Resort and Hyatt Regency, Huntington Beach is a city that sets the stage for unforgettable events. My role is to ensure that your guests leave talking about not only the event but the powerful shared moments created during my performances.
