Magical Beginnings

David's love for magic began when he was a child living in Chicago. His dad took him to a Chicago car show where David saw his first live magician. He instantly fell in love with magic and theatre and began performing shows when he was in junior high. As David developed as a performer and magician, he began to see that his magic was more than simple entertainment - it was proof that anything is possible! David loves to show people how they have the same power in their lives as he does as a magician. Through his magic and his motivational speaking, David strives to show people how to find ways to do things instead of reason's they couldn't do them.

The lessons David learned through his magic have helped him throughout his many varied careers. His persistence in finding ways to accomplish his goals combined with his passion for helping others achieve their goals make David the ideal leader to build succesfull teams and give people the motivational tools they need.
