David Gerard has been in the mystery arts since getting his first magic set at FAO Schwartz when he was just 6 years old. Today, at 29, David has brought his magic to many places, from The Magic Castle in Hollywood, to Fortune 500 corporate events, to a myriad of private venues around the world.
David is best known for being the go-to choice when Silicon Valley’s elite want their events to truly shine. His client list includes Google, Facebook, Uber, AirBnB, and many more, performing for the CEOs and executive teams of all the aforementioned. His clients come to him looking for something modern and hip, with a subtle sophistication that elevates their events to new heights.
When David isn’t entertaining privately, he’s holding court at his weekly show in downtown San Francisco that has sold out for the past 2 years. From features in the SF Chronicle, to rave reviews on social media, David has honed his chops in front of some of California’s most skeptical audiences.
David’s performances come in two flavors. In a cocktail setting, David mingles from group to group, performing miracles inches from his spectators. On stage, his demonstrations focus more on the mental side of magic, reading minds, predicting future events, and more. Whether it’s an intimate executive dinner for 10, or a group of a thousand in Las Vegas, David’s versatility makes him the perfect addition to your next event.
David’s platform performances are for groups of 15 to 1,000 and can range from 10 to 70 minutes. David’s program focuses on mental illusions — mind reading, influence, predictions — magic that appeals to the savvy modern audience. His program is highly interactive, with countless audience members participating from their seat and the stage.
“David really wowed the attendees at our big team event. I was worried about pleasing a diverse crowd of people with different tastes but David did an impressive job of entertaining everyone with his interactive performance. We all recommend him highly!”
“A great magician.”
“David is a unicorn because he comes from the tech world, but is now a world class entertainer. You are not going to find another human who is at the intersection of those two worlds.”
