Dan P., Toyota of Northern California

"David was the highlight of my corporate team building day. He was great to work with, full of ideas and helped shape a combination of magic act, stories, and magic education. It was a big hit with a bunch of engineers. I would highly recommend David for a corporate event."

Darrell D., Netflix

"Wow! David was absolutely incredible. He performed at our company holiday party, and his magic tricks were so captivating that everyone was mesmerized. He was punctual, professional, and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and entertaining magician for their event. Five stars all around for an unforgettable performance!"

Tania A., General Catalyst

"We cannot stop talking about David Martinez's unmatched charisma, kindness, and talent. We hired David to perform at our private company party and our clients were surprised and delighted! David was a pleasure to work with and brought joy to our clients and team. We can't wait to work with David again soon!"

Molly S., Heller Jewelers

"David is top notch and a must have for your corporate event. From the tricks to the humor, it was a game changer having him at our event. I had David join us for a happy hour after a full day of employee training. It's not something we had done before but thought an entertainment component would add a nice spin. It was incredible and the team could not stop talking about it."

Michael V., Coupa

"We hired David for our company Holiday party. He was early to set up, and jumped into the action right as the party was starting. His tricks not only blew my mind, but also everyone else's. I received a lot of positive feedback from my coworkers as well. I would highly recommend his services and he will be my first call the next time we are in need of a magician."

Eden P., Carta

"David was very professional, entertaining and has this easy good-natured personality. I'm very glad we hired him for our corporate party last week. He showed up on time, looked the part and worked the crowd as needed. The guests were very entertained by his close-up magic. My colleague said she felt like we were at an America's Got Talent episode and we were the guest judges! Not only that, invoicing and billing was very professional, up-to-date and easy, which is definitely preferably when booking for corporate. Would highly recommend!"

Kailyn N., eBay

"Fantastic at our CORPORATE HOLIDAY Dinner!! David is highly engaging and worked the room as our team had pre-dinner drinks and mingling and then a full show after dinner. Our sales team is rowdy but they can also be hard to impress. He is really GREAT we could not begin to figure out how he did it any of it. His energy, humor and spectacular entertainment was exactly what we were looking for - do yourself a favor and BOOK HIM! You SIMPLY WILL NOT be disappointed. It was our first and I will use him again for certain."

Janet A., FlashBay

"David was engaging and hilarious! We really enjoyed David’s show at our sales kick off event. He engaged with the crowd and even personalized the show to our specific company. Would definitely recommend!!"

Anna M., Nile Secure

"Had such a wonderful time having David as our evening entertainment/activity for a corporate retreat this week. He was so easy to work with in preparation for the event and he goes out of his way to make a unique experience for the team and type of event he's working with"

Quiana P., American Giant

"David performed 'close up' magic at our company holiday party, captivating each group he engaged with. I appreciate that David had done a bit of homework about our company so that some of his punchlines included key buzz words and phrases from our high tech industry. David showed up early, performed throughout the designated time and stayed to ensure he had met my expectations. He was extremely prompt in responding to my initial request. I highly recommend David!"

Louise G., Xilinx

"We were looking for walking magicians for a department happy hour (roughly 900 people were invited!) and I found David. He was able to bring three other magicians with him to walk around the crowds and perform their magic. From what I observed, our team members were engaged and had great reactions! I also forgot to mention that working with David was great! He's responsive to emails/calls and answered all my questions in a timely matter."

Kristina H., Meta

"David the Magician is extraordinary. He completely baffles and amuses guests at intimate and larger gatherings. He works the room beautifully, so no one is missed, and everyone dazzled. He is excellent at his craft and very amiable to boot. Totally recommend his services!"

David B., Compass Real Estate

"David was AMAZING! We had a work convention going on and I invited him to be our entertainment for the evening. He was SO great and exactly what I was wanting to impress our clients! He did exactly that! Hire him.... you won't regret it!"

Lisa P., Grant Bennet Associates

"David is amazing! He is polished and professional. The office was buzzing with excitement after our event, and David was brought up multiple times. 10/10 will hire again!"

Samantha G., Urban Catalyst

"Very professional, easy to work with, and experienced. Gave our corporate party a bit more jazz!"

Miranda Z., Anthropic

"We hired David for a company party and he was outstanding! His magic was truly unbelievable and he was the HIT of the party. It was also incredibly easy working with David, his communication was outstanding and he was great speaking with our group. I will work with David again!"

Meaghan K., WestCA San Jose

"This was our second year in a row booking David for our company holiday party. David is amazing, to say the least. We had David do 'walk-around' magic for our party and he was able to do a trick for every single person at the party. He was able to make this experience personal and exciting for everyone in attendance. I would 100% recommend booking David for your next event."

Gabby C., Reliable Robotics

"A Magical Event to Remember! We recently had the pleasure of hiring David the Magician for our company luncheon, and I am still in awe of the incredible experience.... David has a charismatic stage presence that adds an extra layer of charm to the show. The way he engaged with the audience creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making the magic feel not only astonishing but also incredibly relatable... If you're looking for a magician who can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one, look no further."

Melinda P., Brandenburg Properties

"We hired David to entertain at my company's Client Appreciation Event and we are so glad we did. Everyone raved about David's unique magic experience, in our case he was able to entertain about 90 adults for 3 hours. I would recommend him for any corporate event, kids parties, family parties, weddings or any event where you need to entertain. David is professional and very easy to work with, makes your guest feel welcomed and overall great experience"

Olympia M., First Tech

Reviews from Virtual Events

"Our group enjoyed it so much that I am booking this activity for other groups in the company as well. David was great to work with and everyone loved the magic tricks. I would recommend David for your next event."

Enaida H., BD

"It was really fun! I enjoyed the jokes and participating in the tasks with David and the team. Recommended!!"

Kevin, Quizlet

"David was amazing and kept all of us engaged and laughing through the entire show; it was a great event for the team."

Anthony V., Blue Shield of California

"This was so much fun! A really entertaining way to have a group team working session. I would def. book again!!! We laughed through the whole hour."

Jessica, Fitch Ratings

"I love magic but was skeptical that this show would be well executed virtually. To my surprise, the magic was great and David was phenomenal! He was engaging with attendees and children, respectful of attendees' boundaries (wiliness to participate), and an excellent magician and teacher. I truly enjoyed how the show was split up into watching magic, participating in tricks and learning how to do a few tricks myself."

Meredith R., Lyft

"David was extremely responsive, kind, attentive and organize prior to the event. He engaged each team member to make them feel comfortable and laughed with us along the way. His magic left us stunned and we really enjoyed his silly puns. I highly recommend booking David if you are looking for a good way to bond with a group of people and laugh for an hour straight."

Kennedy H., Grant Thornton

"We were left laughing about it afterwards on our slack channels, what a great show! We loved it."

Clara L., Snap

"David put on an amazing show that was interactive and had some great twists!"

Hank., DoorDash

"I was looking for fun entertainment for my team and I to engage in virtually and discovered David! I am quite a skeptic when it comes to magic but still love the shows and get bowled over by tricks I just can't figure out!! Seems like my team felt exactly the same way. Not only is David entertaining, he's personable and includes the audience in so many tricks that really keep the audience engaged and in hysterics! David did a phenomenal job with our motley crew and even went over time to complete his act. Highly recommend David if you're looking for group entertainment for virtual (and some in person) events!!"

Sonal P., Shutterfly

"I brought David onboard to provide some virtual magic for my team at work. He was incredibly easy to work with in planning, providing a handful of options for what the show could shape up to be based on our attendees, and was very flexible and communicative to work with. The show itself was AWESOME! Whatever initial hesitations my team had around a virtual magic show went up in smoke within the first few minutes. David was engaging, funny, and included members of the audience in ways we couldn't have imagined. He was respectful and inclusive and truly magical. He comes highly recommended for anyone looking to spice up their day-to-day spent working virtually with a dispersed team!"

Cornelius G., Deloitte

"David was awesome! He kept us all engaged through out his whole act and and loved that he has people participate."

Divya P., NurseFly

"David was great for entertaining our team with his magic and humor! We will definitely have him entertain us again in the future!"

Reviews from Weddings

"David the magician is amazing!! I hired David for my wedding after seeing him perform close up magic at the Enchante restaurant in Los Altos and was instantly sold by his charm, humor, friendliness, and of course his magic prowess! We worked with David to craft the perfect entertainment performances during our dinner reception. Our guests were so amazed by his magic tricks they can't stop talking about it afterwards. It was the highlight of the night! We're so happy to have David be a part of our magical night!"

Yi-Jen J., bride

"David performed at our wedding cocktail hour and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing his tricks were. Not only that, David brought an amazing energy and positivity to our event. He made us feel extra special as the bride and groom by doing a special trick for us and giving us a deck of cards to keep. He absolutely elevated our cocktail hour and we are so happy we had him play such a big role in our special day!"

Tara T., bride

"We booked David 48 hours before our wedding because our original cocktail hour entertainment option was outdoors, and there was a 100% chance of rain. From the start, David's genuine and kind personality shone compared to the other vendors. He was extremely responsive and asked questions about the event so he could tailor his magic to it. We were initially skeptical about having a close-up magician at our cocktail hour, but it ended up being one of the best decisions we ever made. Honestly, having David around almost made us grateful for rain on our wedding day — otherwise we never would have had the chance to have him."

Christine H., bride

"David is simply an awesome entertainer and all round human! He provided 2 hours of magic at our wedding and it was a blast. People were laughing and crying out during his performance because the magic was so good (he has a magic plunger...). But more than that - he is the kind of person you actually want at your wedding. Incredibly warm, personable, funny, respectful and socially aware. He looked after and entertained all our guests and children but was particularly sensitive to those who were there by themselves and made them feel included and comfortable. I can't recommend David highly enough - a total gem!"

Simon L., groom

"I hired David to perform walking magic at my wedding cocktail hour last year and was not disappointed. From the get go, David was extremely professional and responsive. What sealed the deal for me was that in our first email exchanges. he understood that the focus of the day would be on the wedding and making guests feel comfortable and happy during an otherwise awkward hour of mingling. In addition, David prepared a special magic trick for me and my husband, which was just delightful. I would hire David again for any event."

Vivian W., bride

"We're big fans of magic and loved the idea of hiring a magician for our wedding. David made it easy, he's very thoughtful, responsive, and professional. He went around doing close up magic in small groups during our reception and even did a trick for us when we entered. We heard nothing but good things from the guests, couldn't be happier!"

Kevin B., groom

"We hired David to do strolling magic at our wedding reception, and what a great decision that was! From the very first correspondence and phone call, he was responsive, communicative, and personable. Everyone was so impressed with him, and he made so many people laugh and smile! People came up to us and kept saying how awesome he was, because it was so unexpected and surprising! He created the perfect balance between having fun while at a more formal event. Beyond the magic itself, he was very easygoing and friendly. He managed to entertain our guests without being imposing, and had strolling magic for all ages. He was punctual, prepared, and flexible. Highly recommend, would definitely hire him again for a special event! What a great icebreaker and it was socially engaging for all guests. Thank you, David, for adding more magic to our magical event! A+++!"

Bridget W., bride

"David performed at our wedding cocktail hour and did a spectacular job. From the day we reached out to David, he was responsive and fully engaged to make our event special. Before having us commit to him performing, David scheduled a Zoom conference and even showed us a sample trick so that we'd know what to expect. David's warmth and expertise is exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. On the day of our event, David exceeded our expectations. The guests were thoroughly entertained and could not stop commenting on how enjoyable it was having David perform. David made the transition between wedding and reception an event in itself! David also performed a private trick for us that was perfect for the occasion. We cannot thank David enough for making our wedding that much more special. David rocks!"

Justine L., bride

Reviews from Private and House Parties

"David is fantastic! He entertained our members for our Newcomers 70th Anniversary Celebration. He mingled with the members and impressed everyone with his card magic. Everyone was delighted by his talent and his charm! Highly recommend him for all events!"

Birgitta I.

"We had a party with about 80 people. David's tricks amazed and entertained everyone. He strolled from table to table but also large groups gathered around him. The magic is great, and he has a friendly, entertaining demeanor. A good time was had by all."

Adam B.

"David’s show was the highlight of our party. It was a smaller group of mixed ages from 2 to 70 but David navigated it all with a smile on his face and in fact had fun with it. The setup was easy and David was a joy to work with leading up to the event. Highly recommend for any private or corporate events."

Shilpa V.

"A big fan of magic here and I have been to many magic shows before. I have witnessed close-up magic of David twice. Both times have been great. I highly recommend David Martinez for any corporate events or special occasions-he is punctual, responsive, respectful and professional. He is totally worth it. He should be on AGT or the Penn and Teller show."

Pho K.

"David was the star entertainer who brought all the tricks our mixed adult/kids Halloween Party. He worked the party moving to different social circles. It was so cool to see the jaw drop in surprise with his magic tricks. So fun!!"

LaSandra B.

"We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer for my friend's bachelorette party. David took his time to learn all about the bride to be and the guests, and crafted a truly magical experience that was tailor made to us in every way. I wish I could give him six stars."

Rebecca W.

"Could not have asked for a better entertainer. David was so funny and his magic was mind-blowing. He involved our guests and even did close up magic before the show. Afterwards everyone talked about how great it was and wanted to know how I found him. I would definitely hire David again."

Ann M.

"I invited David to perform at a surprise birthday party for my brother's 54th. David put on an interactive and engaging show with just the right amount of humor for our all adult audience. Many of us took part in the experience and his act is a great opening for a memorable birthday party."

Jacqueline H.

"What a great find! David answered my questions so fast and acted so professionally all the time that I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone."

Dayse E.

"After the show, everyone kept asking me where I found him and how amazing he was. He had tricks that impressed everyone. I would definitely hire him again!"

Charmaine C.

"We just had our dad’s 99th birthday celebration and David truly was a highlight to the day... If you are looking for a thoughtful, “non-cheesy”, fun and low keyed entertainer that delights ALL ages, David is the man! You will not be disappointed!!"

Audrey S.

"We hired David for a high school graduation for 200 students. He was easy to work with and responded promptly to our messages/texts. David “the magician” (as the students called him) was one the highlights of the party. He was friendly and connected with the students with his impressive tricks. We highly recommend him for your event."

Peter A.

"David's show was so fun and magical for all ages. His performance for a 40th birthday was pitch perfect for a family gathering. So grateful for his professionalism and amazing talent."

Eric M.

"David was a fantastic magician and entertainer for my 50th birthday party. I loved how he spent part of his time mingling with small groups and doing slight of hand, followed by a show suitable for kids and adults alike."
