About
Hi, I am Danny Cheng. I specialize in close-up magic and performing hand-shadow puppets, also I speak fluently in both English and Chinese Mandarin. I can weave my way throughout the event and mingle with your guests or perform in front of a group or audience to make sure that you and your guests are all energized and have truly unique, unforgettable moments with my performance.
I enjoy simply performing and having magical moments with people! I love sharing the magical moments by performing in front of people.

Danny did walkaround magic and a show for a birthday party at my home. It was super engaging for guests, a really fun time, and the quality of the show was wonderful. Really easy to work with, very punctual, and easy to talk to. Everyone loved it!! Thank you so much Danny.

Danny did such an amazing job. Literally I couldn’t be happier. He was prompt, very agreeable with everything and my guests absolutely loved him. He did a 30 minute brief up close magic show for my coworkers attending my house warming party. Definitely made the party A++++.

Danny was wonderful to work with! He is professional, responsive, and all around a great choice if you are looking to add magic to any event. Danny providing roaming magic at our university dining hall to welcome students on to campus. He did a great job at working the room, including everyone from students to staff, and spreading joy across the dining hall. I would highly recommend booking with Danny and look forward to bringing him back to the campus for future events.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, I'd like to seek out detailed information about the customer's event and see if we are good fit to work together, and based on our discussions, I will quote an accurate price. If the customer agrees on what we discussed, then we will be ready to move on to have the show start!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always learning! I do study and practice to improve my work, I sometimes also join lectures or sessions with other performers or magicians to make myself a better performer.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
One time, one of my middle school teachers showed me a simple coin trick and I was amazed by how incredibly visual it was. I couldn't even believe that just happened in front of my eyes. That kind of amazement and feelings become some things that I would never forget, and yet I started learning to do the magic from that point of my life. I always want to be able to recreate that kind of amazement and magical moments when I first saw magic with people to share those wonderful feelings, and this is how I started to do what I am doing.
