Because this style of magic is performed at such close quarters, David is able to move freely amongst your guests to add amazement and amusement to a drinks reception as well as entertaining at tables during dinner. Amongst other amazing effects; spectators' watches appear on David's own wrist, bottles of Champagne appear, a borrowed signed bank note is discovered in a kiwi fruit that a spectator is holding and goldfish materialise out of thin air!

Cabaret
David was the "British Magical Champion 2002/2003" and was described by Stage & Television Today as "Britain's most amazing illusionist!".
From a small intimate show to a large scale illusion show, David's award winning after-dinner cabaret has something special to offer which will ensure that your guests do not forget your event for a long time to come.
For a small intimate audience David presents a mostly 'patter-orientated' show featuring his famous Electric Chairs Routine and the enchanting Snow Finale.

When only the biggest and best will do, David, his two female assistants and stage crew, present an incredible illusion show that would easily be at home in Las Vegas. This show features illusions from David's touring theatre show, "Let The Magic Begin!".

Trade Stands & Conferences
Whether your exhibit is for public relations purposes, to pursue leads, or a combination of both, two things are crucial to achieving your objectives. First, stopping delegates from walking past your exhibit, and second, informing them of your message.
Failing to catch the delegates' attention translates into hundreds of thousands of pounds in potential sales literally walking right past you.
David Penn can create a unique presentation for your trade show stand that will stop people in their tracks and make them listen to your message while keeping them interested and entertained. By structuring his patter to suit your product, David ensures that the delegates are informed and entertained at the same time.

David Penn recently created an entire presentation, using 5 specially designed effects, to highlight the features of the new Amstrad Emailer . The world's press and media were present at this conference at the QE II Conference centre in London and this resulted in thousands of pounds worth of publicity for Amstrad. More recently David made the new T Series tractor magically appear during a conference for Valtra Velmet.

Whether you need an attention grabbing, delegate stopping effect at a trade show exhibit or a show stopping talking point for a conference, David Penn has over ten years experience in presenting products and concepts in a magical way!
