Introduction: Unlike many corporate entertainers who rely heavily on income earned during the prime times of the week (Friday and Saturday nights), I have a service mix that allows me to perform regionally throughout the week for corporate audiences, as well as private and public organizations. This is why my fees are a little lower than what you would expect from a first-rate magician. In fact, given the highly competitive nature of Thumbtack services, I only bid on bookings that allow me to fill white space on my calendar or book dates and times that are not in high demand. This means my Thumbtack customers get the lowest possible rate, but a topnotch performance!
I specialize in entertaining private and corporate adult audiences. However, I do perform for family audiences from time to time. I am a regular performer at the longest-running magic show in NYC, and I've also been a featured performer at the famed Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. My clients include Coca Cola, Lowes, Intel Corporation, Porsche, and Trip Advisor to name a few. My clients consistently rank me 5 out of 5 stars; just do a quick Google search using the phrase, "Dave Chandler Magic Reviews".
Among my awards, I won first place at the 2014 International Battle of Magicians.
The Show: I offer a very interactive and fun show designed to make the audience’s experience unique and long-remembered. This means fascinating presentations, a little humor, and lots of audience participation, while the magic is visual, mind-numbing, and even breathtaking at times. The magic I perform makes use of simple props, such as everyday objects, playing cards, coins, newspapers, rope, food, stemware, eating utensils, electrical tape, finger rings, etc. Some of these objects are even borrowed from audience members.
The Strolling Performance: In this setting, I mingle with your guests, as I provide brief performances of mesmerizing sleight-of-hand magic. My approach is charming and delightful, and serves as an icebreaker and conversation maker. Your guests will witness world class magic up close and even in their own hands. Most of all, they’ll be excitedly talking about the experience with their friends and new acquaintances.
I enjoy making people laugh and giving them back that child-like sense of wonder. I really like the reactions I create and seeing the enjoyment that it brings to my audiences.
