David was a pleasure to work with and brought joy to our clients and team. We can't wait to work with David again soon!"
Molly S., Heller Jewelers
"David is top notch and a must have for your corporate event. From the tricks to the humor, it was a game changer having him at our event. I had David join us for a happy hour after a full day of employee training. It's not something we had done before but thought an entertainment component would add a nice spin. It was incredible and the team could not stop talking about it."
Michael V., Coupa
"We hired David for our company Holiday party. He was early to set up, and jumped into the action right as the party was starting. His tricks not only blew my mind, but also everyone else's. I received a lot of positive feedback from my coworkers as well. I would highly recommend his services and he will be my first call the next time we are in need of a magician."
Eden P., Carta
"David was very professional, entertaining and has this easy good-natured personality. I'm very glad we hired him for our corporate party last week. He showed up on time, looked the part and worked the crowd as needed. The guests were very entertained by his close-up magic. My colleague said she felt like we were at an America's Got Talent episode and we were the guest judges! Not only that, invoicing and billing was very professional, up-to-date and easy, which is definitely preferably when booking for corporate. Would highly recommend!"
Kailyn N., eBay
"Fantastic at our CORPORATE HOLIDAY Dinner!! David is highly engaging and worked the room as our team had pre-dinner drinks and mingling and then a full show after dinner. Our sales team is rowdy but they can also be hard to impress. He is really GREAT we could not begin to figure out how he did it any of it. His energy, humor and spectacular entertainment was exactly what we were looking for - do yourself a favor and BOOK HIM! You SIMPLY WILL NOT be disappointed. It was our first and I will use him again for certain."
Janet A., FlashBay
"David was engaging and hilarious! We really enjoyed David’s show at our sales kick off event. He engaged with the crowd and even personalized the show to our specific company. Would definitely recommend!!"
Anna M., Nile Secure

Quiana P., American Giant
"David the Magician is extraordinary. He completely baffles and amuses guests at intimate and larger gatherings. He works the room beautifully, so no one is missed, and everyone dazzled. He is excellent at his craft and very amiable to boot. Totally recommend his services!"
David B., Compass Real Estate
"David was AMAZING! We had a work convention going on and I invited him to be our entertainment for the evening. He was SO great and exactly what I was wanting to impress our clients! He did exactly that! Hire him.... you won't regret it!"
Lisa P., Grant Bennet Associates

Sarah C., FiveTran
"I had the pleasure of experiencing David's close-up magic at a company event, which was amazing! He was very engaging with the entire group and left us very impressed. We were all blown away by his card tricks!"
Mallory M., Airbnb
"David performed 'close up' magic at our company holiday party, captivating each group he engaged with. I appreciate that David had done a bit of homework about our company so that some of his punchlines included key buzz words and phrases from our high tech industry. David showed up early, performed throughout the designated time and stayed to ensure he had met my expectations. He was extremely prompt in responding to my initial request. I highly recommend David!"
Louise G., Xilinx
"We were looking for walking magicians for a department happy hour (roughly 900 people were invited!) and I found David. He was able to bring three other magicians with him to walk around the crowds and perform their magic. From what I observed, our team members were engaged and had great reactions! I also forgot to mention that working with David was great! He's responsive to emails/calls and answered all my questions in a timely matter."
Kristina H., Meta
"David is amazing! He is polished and professional. The office was buzzing with excitement after our event, and David was brought up multiple times. 10/10 will hire again!"
Samantha G., Urban Catalyst
"Very professional, easy to work with, and experienced. Gave our corporate party a bit more jazz!"
Miranda Z., Anthropic

Meaghan K., WestCA San Jose
"This was our second year in a row booking David for our company holiday party. David is amazing, to say the least. We had David do 'walk-around' magic for our party and he was able to do a trick for every single person at the party. He was able to make this experience personal and exciting for everyone in attendance. I would 100% recommend booking David for your next event."
Gabby C., Reliable Robotics
"A Magical Event to Remember! We recently had the pleasure of hiring David the Magician for our company luncheon, and I am still in awe of the incredible experience.... David has a charismatic stage presence that adds an extra layer of charm to the show. The way he engaged with the audience creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making the magic feel not only astonishing but also incredibly relatable... If you're looking for a magician who can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one, look no further."
Melinda P., Brandenburg Properties
"We hired David to entertain at my company's Client Appreciation Event and we are so glad we did. Everyone raved about David's unique magic experience, in our case he was able to entertain about 90 adults for 3 hours. I would recommend him for any corporate event, kids parties, family parties, weddings or any event where you need to entertain. David is professional and very easy to work with, makes your guest feel welcomed and overall great experience"
Olympia M., First Tech

Meredith R., Lyft
"David was extremely responsive, kind, attentive and organize prior to the event. He engaged each team member to make them feel comfortable and laughed with us along the way. His magic left us stunned and we really enjoyed his silly puns. I highly recommend booking David if you are looking for a good way to bond with a group of people and laugh for an hour straight."

Nicole L., Segment
"David's magic show was interactive and fun! Our mind was blown by all the magic tricks! Our team had loads of fun!"
Pat, Atlassian
"Working with David was wonderful! I hired David for a welcome reception last week for some closeup magic. Guests were delighted and entertained; he was an absolute hit with our audience, especially given his tech background. On the other side, David was also great with communication and logistics and showed up early and ready to rock, which is always a positive in my books. I will definitely be re-booking the next time I am in the area."
Morgan B., Charlene Kate Events
"We hired David as a surprise guest at our company holiday party. Even prior to the event, he was on top of communication and finding out what we were looking for and tailoring his services to such. On the day of the event, everything went seamlessly from his arrival, working with the DJ, and starting his show. He tailored his show perfectly to our mixed crowd of adults and children of all ages. Our company really enjoyed being a part of his interactive show. Definitely would recommend!!!"
Monica U., KETOS
Reviews from Weddings
"David the magician is amazing!! I hired David for my wedding after seeing him perform close up magic at the Enchante restaurant in Los Altos and was instantly sold by his charm, humor, friendliness, and of course his magic prowess! We worked with David to craft the perfect entertainment performances during our dinner reception. Our guests were so amazed by his magic tricks they can't stop talking about it afterwards. It was the highlight of the night! We're so happy to have David be a part of our magical night!"
Yi-Jen J., bride
"David performed at our wedding cocktail hour and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing his tricks were. Not only that, David brought an amazing energy and positivity to our event. He made us feel extra special as the bride and groom by doing a special trick for us and giving us a deck of cards to keep. He absolutely elevated our cocktail hour and we are so happy we had him play such a big role in our special day!"
Tara T., bride
"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."
Christine H., bride
"David is simply an awesome entertainer and all round human! He provided 2 hours of magic at our wedding and it was a blast. People were laughing and crying out during his performance because the magic was so good (he has a magic plunger...). But more than that - he is the kind of person you actually want at your wedding. Incredibly warm, personable, funny, respectful and socially aware. He looked after and entertained all our guests and children but was particularly sensitive to those who were there by themselves and made them feel included and comfortable. I can't recommend David highly enough - a total gem!"
Simon L., groom
"I hired David to perform walking magic at my wedding cocktail hour last year and was not disappointed. From the get go, David was extremely professional and responsive. What sealed the deal for me was that in our first email exchanges. he understood that the focus of the day would be on the wedding and making guests feel comfortable and happy during an otherwise awkward hour of mingling. In addition, David prepared a special magic trick for me and my husband, which was just delightful. I would hire David again for any event."
Vivian W., bride
"We're big fans of magic and loved the idea of hiring a magician for our wedding. David made it easy, he's very thoughtful, responsive, and professional. He went around doing close up magic in small groups during our reception and even did a trick for us when we entered. We heard nothing but good things from the guests, couldn't be happier!"
Kevin B., groom
"We hired David to do strolling magic at our wedding reception, and what a great decision that was! From the very first correspondence and phone call, he was responsive, communicative, and personable. Everyone was so impressed with him, and he made so many people laugh and smile! People came up to us and kept saying how awesome he was, because it was so unexpected and surprising! He created the perfect balance between having fun while at a more formal event. Beyond the magic itself, he was very easygoing and friendly. He managed to entertain our guests without being imposing, and had strolling magic for all ages. He was punctual, prepared, and flexible. Highly recommend, would definitely hire him again for a special event! What a great icebreaker and it was socially engaging for all guests. Thank you, David, for adding more magic to our magical event! A+++!"
Bridget W., bride
"David performed at our wedding cocktail hour and did a spectacular job. From the day we reached out to David, he was responsive and fully engaged to make our event special. Before having us commit to him performing, David scheduled a Zoom conference and even showed us a sample trick so that we'd know what to expect. David's warmth and expertise is exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. On the day of our event, David exceeded our expectations. The guests were thoroughly entertained and could not stop commenting on how enjoyable it was having David perform. David made the transition between wedding and reception an event in itself! David also performed a private trick for us that was perfect for the occasion. We cannot thank David enough for making our wedding that much more special. David rocks!"
Justine L., bride
"David was a fabulous addition to our reception. We had him for an hour during cocktail hour doing close up magic (which I highly recommend doing) and a 30 minute stand up show for everyone to enjoy together. When the professional photos came back we saw everyone in pure bliss and awe. We had so many comments on how great of an idea it was to have magic. I fully feel the magic helped loosen up any awkwardness among guests who didn't know each other. David had a great way of engaging children so they were part of the event. And he was super easy to work with. He had an easy going air to him yet was still very professional and patient. Thank you so much for making us and our reception shine, David!!"
Margaret C., bride

He heard what I wanted and he was very accommodating, tailoring the experience to be exactly what I had in mind. David did a great job executing. And his magic was entertaining, light and fun, replete with Dad Jokes (which we appreciated!). Great way to add something unique to your next party."

"David’s show was the highlight of our party. It was a smaller group of mixed ages from 2 to 70 but David navigated it all with a smile on his face and in fact had fun with it. The setup was easy and David was a joy to work with leading up to the event. Highly recommend for any private or corporate events."
Shilpa V.
"A big fan of magic here and I have been to many magic shows before. I have witnessed close-up magic of David twice. Both times have been great. I highly recommend David Martinez for any corporate events or special occasions-he is punctual, responsive, respectful and professional. He is totally worth it. He should be on AGT or the Penn and Teller show."
Pho K.
"David was the star entertainer who brought all the tricks our mixed adult/kids Halloween Party. He worked the party moving to different social circles. It was so cool to see the jaw drop in surprise with his magic tricks. So fun!!"
LaSandra B.
"We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer for my friend's bachelorette party. David took his time to learn all about the bride to be and the guests, and crafted a truly magical experience that was tailor made to us in every way. I wish I could give him six stars."
Rebecca W.
"Could not have asked for a better entertainer. David was so funny and his magic was mind-blowing. He involved our guests and even did close up magic before the show. Afterwards everyone talked about how great it was and wanted to know how I found him. I would definitely hire David again."
Ann M.

Audrey S.
"We hired David for a high school graduation for 200 students. He was easy to work with and responded promptly to our messages/texts. David “the magician” (as the students called him) was one the highlights of the party. He was friendly and connected with the students with his impressive tricks. We highly recommend him for your event."
Peter A.

"David was a fantastic magician and entertainer for my 50th birthday party. I loved how he spent part of his time mingling with small groups and doing sleight of hand, followed by a show suitable for kids and adults alike."
Nina J.
"We hired David to entertain about 300 high school grads at an outdoor venue and he was fantastic. He did a 20-minute stage show with volunteers and then strolled from table to table throughout the night doing close-up magic. Every time I went past a table where he was, I heard laughter and OOOO's & AHHH's! One of the things I loved the most was David's professionalism and ability to just do his thing without any guidance from me. He was respectful to the other entertainer we hired and incredibly nice to our Grads! I heard nothing but great reviews after the event from all attendees."
Danielle C.
