Had a great experience having Dane perform at my 23rd birthday party for my guests and I at my apartment. Before the event, he was very professional and responsive to my messages. During the show itself, he did a very entertaining set and did a great job at engaging the group by including lots of my guests as participants. I also found that the price for his show was a much better value than many other magicians I reached out to in DFW, while still delivering excellent service. Highly recommend!

I hired a magician for my birthday this year, and I’m still not over it. From the second he started, I felt like a kid again — completely mesmerized and trying (unsuccessfully) to figure out how on earth he was doing any of it.
The sleight of hand was unreal. Cards appeared where they absolutely should not have been. At one point, I was genuinely questioning my own memory. And I loved every second of it.
What made it even better was how personal he made it. He didn’t just run through a routine — he brought people into the magic. He remembered names, tailored tricks to different guests, and made everyone feel like they were part of something special. It felt intimate, elevated, and completely unique.
Hiring him didn’t just add entertainment to the party — it transformed the energy of the whole night. I wanted something unexpected and memorable, and that’s exactly what I got. I would do it again in a heartbeat. ✨

Dane put on an excellent show for our son's 13th birthday party. The magic tricks were incredible and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Just as important he was able to single-handed manage a dozen 12 and 13 year old boys and four kids under 10. The boys were extremely rowdy, which was a combination of their age and their excitement after each trick. Dane was able to play to his audience with ease and in spite of the chaos created by the boys, he entertained us all. I would highly recommend him for any party and any age group.
