Dave Johnson

Clean comedy magician Dave Johnson — "Nine Digit Dave", after an incident in someone's garage — headlines comedy clubs all around the US and features in his hometown of Las Vegas. He cheerfully reports that he has never won an award in magic, only Salesman of the Year 2002, Carny of the Year 2014 and an undefeated world Tic Tac Toe championship held since 1988.

The act is modular: a tight five minutes, a middle spot of 15 to 25, or a full 30 to 70, plus close-up magic for guests at close quarters. Dave has performed for groups from five to 3,000 people, suits award ceremonies and company dinners, and works all across the US and in Canada. One host who threw a party for the founders of Dropbox, AirBNB and Square said all of them were blown away.
