See David in action
IBM close-up champion David Shao pairs award-winning magic with dry humor, working in sleight-of-hand card magic, coins and everyday objects such as sharpies, plus mentalism in which he reads minds and predicts what guests are thinking.
A Magic Castle magician based near Los Angeles, David mingles through a room performing close-up magic directly in guests' hands, delivers a polished 15-20 minute stage set that keeps an evening moving, or closes the night with a 45-minute comedy magic and mentalism show. His magic has been witnessed by Henry Cavill, Michael B. Jordan and Zedd, and after more than ten years performing around the globe he is at home at corporate conferences, product launches and galas, as well as birthdays, anniversaries and holiday parties.
Castle debut 2023, last billed 2025, on the Castle’s published schedules as the archive records them. Rooms: Parlour (2), Close-Up (1).
