Biography

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.

Programs

Stage Performance

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.

Strolling & Close-Up Magic

David’s strolling magic is ideal for events needing seamless entertainment, enchanting small groups with mind-reading and intimate illusions. In cozier settings, David presents a close-up magic show, drawing everyone in. Boasting thousands of performance hours, David stands out as a top sleight-of-hand artist, leaving guests amazed, whether up close or mingling.

Speaking

Beyond his busy performance schedule, David is widely considered one of the foremost experts on start-up marketing and user growth in the Bay Area. From consulting for venture-backed startups, to custom presentations that mix magic and marketing, David would love to chat about a content-rich keynote for your event.
