I had David perform at a children's halloween party I hosted and he was fantastic! His skill with magic and tricks is undeniable! The kids and adults loved watching and studying what was happening. I would absolutely recommend hiring David for an event with kids or adults!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Audrey! Being part of your Halloween party for the families of Shriners Children's was truly special to me. These kids and their families are some of the bravest, most resilient people I've ever had the privilege of performing for, and sharing an evening of laughter and wonder with them meant more than I can put into words. I loved watching everyone, kids and grown-ups alike, lean in and try to figure out what was happening. Thank you for the incredible work you do and for inviting me to be part of it. I'd be honored to come back anytime. — David Farr, Minneapolis Magician & Mentalist

David's show was absolutely amazing. He entertained the crowd and kept us engaged for the entire performance. I was his main point of contact for the booking and he kept in constant communication with me regarding his stage setup, his arrival time, and plan for the event. He truly was the icing on the cake for our conference. Thanks David!

Response from the owner:Crystal, thank you so much! "Icing on the cake" might be my new favorite compliment. As the person coordinating, you had a lot on your plate, so I'm glad the communication about the stage setup and timing made your job a little easier. Christina and I work hard to make sure the planning goes as smoothly as the show. Your attendees were a fantastic, engaged crowd.

David was the star of our client appreciation party! He did a great job mingling with different groups and showing off his amazing tricks. We’re all still trying to figure it out. As the person coordinating, David and Christina were incredibly organized and helpful. Can’t wait to have David back again!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Heather! Client appreciation parties are one of my favorite corporate events to perform at, and your guests made it easy. Strolling from group to group with a little mind reading and a lot of laughter is the perfect way to get people talking and connecting, and I love hearing they're still trying to figure it out (my lips are sealed!).

David was a blast. He arrived to our party in Hopkins on time and with an excited smile. He interacted with our entire group and made the birthday girl feel truly honored. Most importantly, the magic/mentalism was legit and mind-boggling. I would hire David again in a heartbeat! Thanks David & team!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Daniel — what a night! Celebrating the milestone birthday with your crew at Oak Ridge Country Club was an absolute highlight. Performing close-up magic and mentalism right at the table with such a warm, fun group is exactly the kind of intimate show I love, and making the birthday girl feel honored meant everything. I'd be thrilled to bring the magic back for your next celebration in Hopkins. Thanks so much for the kind words and the recommendation!
