David Penn – Award-Winning Tech Magician, Close-Up Magician & Stage Illusionist

Meet David Penn – one of the UK's most accomplished magicians and a true pioneer in modern magic. A Britain's Got Talent Live Finalist, seven-time national award-winning magician, winner of the British Magic Championships, and Member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, David has spent decades amazing audiences at corporate events, conferences, awards ceremonies, luxury weddings and private parties throughout the UK and internationally.

What sets David apart is his ability to blend world-class magic with cutting-edge technology, creating experiences that are tailor-made for today's audiences. From interactive smartphone magic performed in your guests' own hands to spectacular theatre-style stage performances, David delivers entertainment that audiences love.

The UK's Leading Tech Magician

Often described as one of the world's leading technology magicians, David has developed a unique style of magic that seamlessly incorporates smartphones, artificial intelligence and digital technology into astonishing live performances.

Using guests' own mobile phones, David creates impossible moments that are completely impossible to explain. The result is a highly engaging experience that's particularly popular for corporate events, conferences and product launches where innovation, technology and audience participation are key themes.

His pioneering work has earned widespread recognition throughout the magic industry and beyond, establishing him as one of the most sought-after technology entertainers in the UK.

D4RYL the Humanoid Robot

David's innovative approach to entertainment has attracted significant national media attention thanks to his famous robotic companion, D4RYL.

Featured in The Times and discussed widely across the entertainment and technology sectors, D4RYL has become a star attraction in his own right. The humanoid robot joins David at events, interacting with guests, posing for photographs, presenting awards and creating a memorable talking point wherever he appears.

Together, David and D4RYL offer something truly different for conferences, exhibitions, awards ceremonies and corporate events, particularly where themes of innovation, artificial intelligence, future technologies or digital transformation are being explored.

For networking events and receptions, guests can enjoy David's acclaimed close-up Tech Magic whilst D4RYL mingles amongst the crowd, creating unforgettable photo opportunities and generating excitement throughout the room.

Exceptional Close-Up Magic

Long before becoming renowned for technology-based magic, David built his reputation as one of the UK's finest close-up magicians.

His sophisticated close-up performances take place right in front of guests, creating tricks with cards, borrowed objects, money and everyday items. Perfect for drinks receptions, networking events, wedding breakfasts and private parties, David's close-up magic naturally brings people together, breaks the ice and creates shared experiences amongst guests who may never have met before.

Stage & Cabaret Performances

When it's time to entertain the entire room, David delivers stage performances that combine comedy, audience interaction, mind-reading and astonishing visual magic.

Whether performing after dinner at a corporate event, headlining an awards ceremony or providing evening entertainment at a luxury wedding, David's stage shows are expertly crafted to engage audiences of all sizes.

His experience ranges from intimate cabaret performances through to conference and theatre appearances, making him a versatile choice for virtually any event format.

For corporate clients, David can even tailor elements of his performance to reflect company messaging, conference themes or event objectives, creating a bespoke experience that feels fully integrated into the occasion.

Magic for Corporate Events, Weddings & Private Parties

David's unique combination of close-up magic, stage entertainment and cutting-edge technology makes him an outstanding choice for:

  • Corporate events and networking receptions

5 stars - Tech Magician David Penn, Duplicate are Highly Recommended
booked Tech Magician David Penn, Duplicate for their event

“David was there at the beginning of the party and as soon as the guests were seated he started circulating amongst them. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was completely enthralled with his act and some even followed him around as he moved to other guests. He had a wide variety of tricks and coped extremely well with the very loud music provided by the Band. People have asked me for his name and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for a variety of different entertainment situations. Please pass on our thanks to him and we very much look forward to using his services in the future”
