Hi, my name is David Martinez. I’ve been doing magic for more than 15 years, and I perform at parties and private events in San Jose and throughout the Bay Area. I’ve even won awards for both close-up and stage magic.
But we’re not here to talk about me. We’re here to talk about you and your wedding. And about how magic can fit into your big day. When you hire me to perform at your wedding reception, your guests will have an experience they won’t get anywhere else. They’ll get to watch — and participate in — fun, sophisticated close-up magic that happens right before their eyes. And you’ll have peace of mind knowing that I’m on your side to help make your reception even more fun, unique, and absolutely memorable for everyone. |

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!

MAGIC AND WEDDINGS: A PERFECT MATCH
Every wedding is different, but here are some suggestions on the best times to bring me in for the magic.
DURING COCKTAIL HOUR OR PORTRAITS
After the ceremony, there’s usually an hour or so when the wedding couple and their families are having pictures taken. This is a great time to bring me in to keep guests engaged and entertained while they wait for you. |
AFTER THE MEAL
Usually, after people have eaten and listened to the speeches, that’s when the party really starts. Some will dance, and others will hang out at the bar or at their tables. I’ll give people something fun to watch and participate in. |
REHEARSAL DINNER
For you and the members of the wedding party, I can perform a fun, family-friendly stand-up show for the whole group. Or I can stroll from group to group doing my best close-up magic. |
WHY HIRE ME FOR MAGIC?
|
BECAUSE MAGIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
Magic is a great ice-breaker because it creates a shared experience of wonder, joy, and surprise. It can start a conversation that continues after I leave the group. And it can bring together mixed groups who didn’t know each other before the wedding started. BECAUSE MY MAGIC IS SOPHISTICATED, NOT CORNY If your only personal experience with a magician was at a kids party, then it’s perfectly reasonable to think of magicians as tacky or inappropriate for weddings. But that’s not me. My magic is entertaining, mystifying, and sophisticated. It’s not cheesy or corny, and I never tell stupid jokes or make inappropriate comments. Of course, if there are kids at your wedding, they’ll have just as much fun as everyone else watching and participating in the magic. In fact, kids are often bored at weddings, and watching me do magic for them and for others can lighten their moods. |
BECAUSE I PERFORM WITH THE HIGHEST IDEALS IN MIND
My goal is to leave a great impression on you and your guests. So I’ll come dressed for your occasion in a tailored suit or whatever is appropriate for your event. I’ll approach groups respectfully and non-intrusively. And I’ll be sure to keep the focus where it belongs: on the wedding couple. Occasionally, someone at an event tells me they’re not interested in magic. So I might strike up a conversation with them about something else, or thank them for their time and move on. I don’t make a big deal about it or force anything. BECAUSE I OFFER A FULLY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE I strive to make things as easy as possible for you and/or your planner. Before you book, we’ll have a conversation to discuss details, and I’ll ask specific questions so I understand you and your needs. As the big day nears, I’ll confirm everything by email, and we can discuss any last-minute changes. Then, on the day, I’ll arrive ready to perform at least 30 minutes before my start time. When it’s time for me to leave, I’ll pack up quietly and let you enjoy the rest of the day. |
