Up Close Interactive Magic

Are you looking for corporate party entertainment? One of the important factors in creating a really special event is to make sure that your guests start having fun right away…minutes after they arrive. You’ll be delighted as you hear the gasps of amazement and laughter as your guests are entertained with their own 5 to 7 minute shows which include super fun magic that happens in their own hands. This enchanting, fun, and intimate form of “walk around” entertainment is perfect for cocktail parties or as before dinner entertainment. It will leave the lasting impression you desire.

Testimonials

~

David was the highlight of our market. Everyone (attendees, managers, executives, hotel staff, etc.) was absolutely enthralled with his street magic, and came back for more during the evening show. We can’t thank him enough. From day one he put us at ease with great communication and attention to detail, and then truly shined as he engaged our customers and kept them in the showroom wanting to see more.

I can’t say enough about David. We hired him for a corporate event AND for a separate fundraiser event and he hit the ball out of the park! Not only are his magic tricks amazing (i.e. mind-blowing!), he is such a great guy and very personable. Great jokes to boot…. and the crowd loved him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is David Farr able to entertain people who don't speak English?
Thankfully, magic is very universally appealing to all walks of life! Although your non-english speaking guests may not totally understand every funny joke David makes, they’ll still be thoroughly entertained and amazed by what they see!
Does David perform outside of the Minneapolis St. Paul area?
Yes, even though David is based in Minneapolis, MN, he travels to all parts of Minnesota as well as the upper midwest in cities such as Des Moines, IA, Fargo, ND, Sioux Falls, SD and Madison, WI. You may have been looking for a magician near me when searching online but keep in mind David Farr will travel!
What do we need to provide you on our end?
What is needed varies based on the type of entertainment being provided. If you go with a strolling/close up magic package, where David is merely strolling through your event and entertaining the guests, there are virtually no additional requirements. Everything David needs he comes prepared with in his pockets ready to entertain when he arrives at the event. For the stage show packages, there are some important requirements that are needed in order for a successful performance. 1. If David is the only performer with equipment on the stage (besides a podium), then we recommend a stage at least 12′ x 8′ and at least 6 inches off the floor. Depending on how high the stage is, stairs might also be required as there is fun audience participation throughout the performance. In cases where David’s equipment would be sharing the stage with other performer(s), a larger stage me be necessary or other special considerations. 2. In most cases, David will provide his own sound system unless it’s a performance that requires air travel. In this case, we’ll also need a professional sound system setup and monitored throughout the performance. The best type of mic is a headset mic known as a “country man”. It is wireless and hands free. We also need an an input for an iPod for sound effects. Once again, most of the time David provides his own professional sound system. Please keep in mind that you still may have AV needs yourself and still may want to ask your venue to provide a microphone to show a presentation, announce winners, give speeches, etc. 3. In regards to lighting, we have no specific needs but do recommend not having your event too dark because it becomes more difficult for your guests to experience the amazing magic when they are struggling to see what’s happening.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal. You may pay securely online using PayPal or our Secure Payment Page. If paying with check, please make check payable to “David Farr
Is David able to entertain while people are eating?
Technically yes but we really don’t recommend it. By the nature of the entertainment, your guests participate in the magic and are often asked to help out. This is sometimes difficult when people are eating. And also it’s hard to “watch closely” when you’re enjoying dinner. This applies to all packages, strolling and stage shows.
Will this embarrass or offend anyone?
We’re proud to say that absolutely NO ONE is embarrassed in any way. We’ve heard many horror stories of how other entertainers have completely offended guests in the audience with off color jokes and remarks. David Farr’s entertainment is completely G-Rated and never relies on entertaining people by making fun or laughing at people. “We’re not laughing at you, we’re laughing with you…”
What kind of room set up do you need for the stage show?
Typically having the stage setup against a wall having all of your guests seated in front and as close as possible (this helps provide a more intimate feeling). Guests that are seated directly to either side of the stage or behind, have TERRIBLE seats and therefore it’s best to avoid that. A space that can comfortably seat all of your guests without having them on the sides or behind the stage is best. Also watch out for those huge annoying beams right in the middle of some rooms. Please take into consideration your guests so they don’t get stuck behind one of them and miss out on the fun. See the example room diagram below. Optionally, you can request “pipe and drape” for the stage which basically serves as the backdrop of the performance and gives it a nice feel.
What size audiences can David entertain?
David’s entertainment is best suited for small to medium size crowds. David entertains groups as intimate as 10 people all the way up to 500 guests in a ballroom. If you have a large group (200 or more), the use of projection screens makes the show even more enjoyable for your guests. Talk to your venue or contact a local audio/video company with questions to further explore that option.

I cannot recommend David Farr Magic enough! David and Christina were great to work with, very organized, punctual, and most importantly extremely entertaining and talented. We hired David for our staff Christmas party. I received so much positive feedback from the team.

I strongly suggest having David do up close strolling magic as well as a stage show.

And thank you for the wonderful recommendation about combining the strolling magic with the stage show.

I saw David at an office party and decided to book him for a large event we were hosting to launch the winter season in Minneapolis. He was excellent the first time and did not fail to impress the second time either. So much good feedback and a great performer.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Sam for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed my performance at that office party and decided to book me for your winter season launch event in Minneapolis. It means a lot that you had enough confidence after seeing me perform to bring me in for your own event.
Hearing that your guests had such a positive experience and that the feedback was so strong is exactly why I love performing for corporate events throughout the Minneapolis area. Creating those memorable moments that people are still talking about afterward is what it's all about.

I had a kids party, so I hired David as some entertainment for the adults. They were all in awe of his magic skills! Pure entertainment and no one could figure out his tricks. Also very easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Andrea! I'm so glad the adults had such a great time at Nathan's Bar Mitzvah! One of the things I love most about performing at Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs is being able to entertain multiple generations - giving the adults their own amazing experience while the kids enjoy their celebration.
I'm thrilled to hear everyone was in awe and still puzzling over the magic! Creating those moments of wonder that keep people guessing is exactly what makes these celebrations so memorable.
Thank you for the kind words about being easy to work with - I always want the planning process to be as stress-free as possible so you can focus on enjoying Nathan's special day.

What really stood out was his level of professionalism. He did a great job involving audience members in the show. If you’re looking for a show that appeals to all ages, that’s filled with laughter, amazement and pure delight, David delivers all that and more.
Highly recommended!
I was within 5 feet of the magic tricks and totally mesmerized! Could NOT detect the sleight of hand. David’s quick wit and ease with his very unpredictable audience just added to the fun.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Joan! I love hearing that you were mesmerized even from just 5 feet away - that's exactly the kind of up-close, impossible magic I strive to create with my close-up magic performances!
Working with unpredictable audiences is one of my favorite parts of the job. Every group brings its own energy, and being able to adapt and have fun with that spontaneity makes each show unique and memorable.

David was so great - life of the party!!!
David is amazing! We hired him to mingle during the cocktail hour at our son’s wedding. People are amazed by his magic tricks. We’ve even watched the videos over and over and just can’t figure how he does what he does.
So fun, brilliant, and comedic. Great addition to our client event.
David was absolutely incredible - I cannot recommend him highly enough! Everyone at our party was amazed and delighted. David is funny, and his show was very entertaining on top of the impressive magic tricks. After he left, we enjoyed the rest of the evening asking each other, "how did he DO that?!" It was very memorable, and we would hire David again in a heartbeat.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Dana! I had such a great time performing at your party—your guests were an amazing audience, and their reactions made the night so much fun for me too.
