I’m super blown away at how I free willed a pic, whatever colors I wanted, and you had already picked all these colors in an envelope. I couldn’t figure out how you did it, it's really insane, good job. More...

Daniel did his show for us for our company Christmas party. It was more than what was expected. He was outstanding in engaging our audience, and the feedback we got from our people here was incredible right away. I would highly recommend him for any event you are wanting to do. He’s one of the best that we’ve ever had here in my at least five years being here. We look to continue to work with him and use him, so if you are looking for somebody, Daniel’s your guy. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I started when I was 7, so almost 30 years. I started performing professionally almost 15 years ago.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
People remember how you make them feel, and in this show it’s all about making people feel good.
It’s clean, interactive, engaging, and will have your guests laughing and connecting all night.
What do you love most about your job?
I love all the wonderful people I get to meet. Every company is filled with so many wonderful people and I have the best job in the world being able to tell them how much they are appreciated and watching their eyes light up with wonder.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started in college while studying Atmospheric Sciences. It’s fitting that I went from forecasting the weather to predicting the future. I’m blessed to be able to make a living bringing joy to others.
Why should our clients choose you?
With 15 years of professional experience, training by the motivational speaker Les Brown, and a bachelors in Business Administration, I do more than just entertain. I design my shows to help with your KPIs, I’ll connect your people during the social hour making introductions so they have more friends in the company (reduces turnover), I’ll connect them through storytelling and express appreciation on behalf of your company to them (improves productivity and reduces turnover), and I’ll get them laughing and having fun (improves job satisfaction)
To everyone else, it is just an amazing night, but secretly between you and me, it’s been carefully crafted to maximize the ROI of your event.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We re-evaluated how much contact is made during a show, and took out a portion where I travelled through the entire audience. I am fully vaccinated and boosted and on request can wear a mask or face shield.
Performance Beyond Expectations Keynote
This keynote blends astonishing mentalism with a transformative message to help teams break free from limiting beliefs, ignite creativity, and drive bold action. Using Daniel’s 4-step framework: Ask “What If?”, Explore What’s Possible, Go All In, and Learn & Grow. audiences gain tools to innovate, adapt, and perform at the next level. Perfect for leadership events, company retreats, and teams ready to evolve.
Mingling Magic
This isn’t just walkaround entertainment. I use close-up magic to spark conversations, connect departments, and break the ice from the moment guests arrive. Ideal for corporate events, team-building, and networking, where shared laughter turns into lasting connection.
Stage Show (Trojan Horse Motivation)
More than a show, it's a message.
A world-class magic and mentalism experience, trusted by Fortune 50 companies, designed to entertain and uplift. I help your people feel seen, appreciated, and connected, with a finale that wraps your event in meaning.
