David Gerard

Magician and mentalist David Gerard blends mindreading, influence and predictions into a program built for the savvy modern audience. He began performing at the age of six, and his shows have since reached Fortune 500 companies, Silicon Valley elite gatherings and international stages, including more than 60 shows at Hollywood's Magic Castle.

His platform show suits groups of 15 to 1,000 and runs from 10 to 70 minutes, staying highly interactive throughout, with audience members taking part from their seats and from the stage. At receptions he works the room with strolling magic, reading minds for small groups, and in cozier settings he presents a close-up show. He moved to California in 2010 for a marketing role at Google.
