Introduction: I am a PE coach, Science Teacher and a skilled magician who specializes in close-up magic. I am very good at grabbing and holding children's attention. I don't do the standard tricks that other magicians do. I created all of the illusions that I perform in my show. Many of the effects are based on scientific principles like gravity, air pressure and cohesion and utilize everyday household objects such as a drinking glass, a straw, newspaper, etc. I also do tricks using rope, money, handkerchiefs, playing cards, and mental telepathy. I even teach the kids how to do some tricks so they can amaze their friends. I also create balloon animals for all the children at no extra charge. When performing for adults, I blend in lots of one liners gathered from my many years as a stand up comic. I can customize my show for any age group or theme. Everyone will be dazzled, mystified, and totally blown away.

The Astonishing Houdanny did an incredible job for my son’s 7th birthday party! Dan is very professional, entertaining, prompt and organized. He has a great sense of humor and was a joy to work with. The adults and children at the party enjoyed his show and were amazed by all of his card tricks, jokes and the positive stories that Dan shared in between tricks. He was very engaging and had lots of opportunities for the audience to participate. My son was wowed by special Spider-Man Lego cards that Dan gave him during the show and all the kids had a blast with the balloon animals he brought for them! I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Dan, for making this an unforgettable birthday for my son!!

The show with the Astonishing Houdanny was great!!! He was good with the kids and the adults. He showed on time, very professional, very friendly and personable. The tricks were fun and entertaining. I still don’t know how he did some of them. His background of being a teacher works great with the young ones. Very fun to be around. Our party for our 4 year old was a success. Thank you Mr. HouDanny 😍🙏🎊

We hired The Astonishing Houdanny:Nutrition Magician to entertain our residents at an Assisted Living Community. Daniel amazed us with his tricks and educated us with his knowledge of the human body and our health. He also made us laugh a lot! I would highly recommend Daniel for your next party or function!

I am the activities director at a senior living community here in Tampa, We booked Danny for a fall social we were hosting and I would just like to say my residents and I loved his show! Not only did we enjoy all the tricks he performed but we were able to crack up at all of his jokes, and my residents were able to go up and volunteer for certain tricks and that means the most to me. We appreciate that Danny was able to make our residents happy and getting them out of there apartments. They all are looking forward to Houdanny coming back again. THANKS DAN YOUR THE MAN!!

Houdanny was amazing! We had him preform for our daughters 8th birthday with about 10 of her friends. Many parents also stayed for the show and it did not disappoint. Houdanny was very entertaining and incorporated a positive message for the kids which we liked. He included the kids in the magic tricks which was great and made it extra special for them. We were very pleased and would highly recommend him!
