Amazing individual that provides an entertaining show with clean execution and skillful illusions that certainly fooled even my amateur trained eyes. When Dan first arrived at the event I was attending, I won't deny that I was already familiar with some of his tricks. However, it doesn't matter if you know the secret or not, the biggest thing for me has been how well an individual is able to execute it cleanly and he did just that. Many times I couldn't see the actual move because he was just that skillful. It's been awhile since I've really divulged in anything in particular, but he ended up pulling out a trick that I just can't figure out.. Well, he fooled me. I'm gonna marinate on that for a while now... Appreciate the chat and I am definitely reminiscing about my card manipulation days now.. Perhaps I should work on my dexterity again.. read more

I reached out to Dan about a week out from my baby shower for a balloon artist and was lucky that Colin was available. The booking process was easy and Dan and Colin were both super communicative leading up to the day of the event. Colin arrived right on time and was an absolute hit amongst guests of all ages. We had about 30 kids + a ton of adults to entertain and 2 hours was plenty of time for everyone to get an amazing balloon creation (some left with multiple!) and to be completely awed by Colin's talent. Would definitely recommend hiring Colin for your next event! read more

Colin was the perfect grand finale to our Sonoma County bachelorette party! He is extremely talented, communicative, and kind. We were especially impressed by his dice readings and ability to keep the group engaged. Dan made it very easy to book and the whole process was enjoyable. Don't hesitate to add Colin to your special event! read more

Dan recently did my birthday and blew the crowd away. Highly recommend him to anyone hosting an event. You will be shocked what he can do.

If you're looking for premium balloon twisting from a true balloon artist, hire Kat! Super professional and charismatic as well - just being enthusiastic with the kids was heartwarming! She was putting on a show with her skills and the parents and kids were in awe. Parents told me this is the best balloon artist they have seen. She made Chase and Marshall for my son who turned 3 and he couldn't put down his Chase even in the bounce house! Parents reported back their kids were having conversations with their new balloon friends - Wonder Woman, unicorn and Chase were standouts! Kat is a true performer at heart and loved her radio voice charged with pure enthusiasm. It matched the positive vibes of the party! We booked though Dan's contact info on the website and he is super on top of it, efficient and responsive - super customer service. read more

incredible to see Dan present at our annual holiday party! Really the highlight of our night

I wouldn't recommend Dan Chan. Disorganized and has other priorities than a kids birthday. The end result was that no one showed up to our daughter's birthday, which is unfortunate isn't it. You would think after communicating through text and a phone call the date and time of the event that it would have been sufficient but no it wasn't. They give another form to fill out but i apparently entered the date wrong. No follow up text, and no email to confirm the date, so you are left thinking that things are ok. When i expressed my disappointment at the no show, he put it back on me. Didn't admit any wrong doing. Be careful, do you really want to risk it? read more

Dan was amazing at my 50th birthday party. It was a crowd of 100 people, 20 to 80 years old. His friendly demeanor and experience was immediately evident and drew people in. He was the opening entertainment and performed strolling magic amongst the crowd. He integrated phones and other props to wow us with card tricks, mentalist predictions, and more. I can't wait to host another event to see what he does next! read more

Dan led a pickpocketing workshop for a friend and me and it was an absolute blast. It was a fun learning experience, and we learned a few different lifts and a couple of magic tricks as well. Beyond his skills as a pickpocket and magician, he was a pleasure to do business with. He's friendly, communicative, and punctual. I couldn't have asked for anything more! read more

I hired Dan's daughter for balloon making, and he told me that his daughter's balloons weren't as intricate as his wife's balloons--but his daughter blew the kids away (no pun intended) with her creations. She made a list of names and their balloons so the kids didn't have to wait, and could go play while their balloons were being made. Would definitely recommend for the under 10 yo crowd :) read more

I booked Dan's kids, James and Grace for my kid's 9th year birthday party. His guests are in the 8-12 age group so I figured if the magician is close to their age they will be more amazed! And they were!! James was able to keep the interests of rowdy 3rd graders and then some. All the kids and adults were so amazed! And Grace's balloon creations are superb! read more

My best friend and I took a magic class with Dan, and it was a lot of fun. He spent a good portion of it on pickpocketing techniques (because that's a thing we were interested in). Even though I knew he would try to pick my pockets, he swiped my phone without me feeling it. It was a fun afternoon. read more

How can a parent make a virtual birthday event fun and exciting for a kid under ten years old? The answer is simple. You book a date and time with Dan Chan! I'll admit, nothing compares to the norm of having twenty kids in your backyard with games, prizes, cakes, and such, but Dan and his son took this whole virtual experience to a different level. From my very first conversation with him, I could tell he was very passionate about his craft. Dan came highly recommended by someone that witnessed his show at a high-tech firm in downtown San Jose. That helped narrow it down, but seeing would be believing for me. How can a magic show come to life in a Zoom meeting? I was amazed. The tricks Dan executed were not just entertaining but mind-blowing. He engages everyone in the meeting/party, and he is funny as heck! For those of you that have kids, his son is also part of the act. All of the kids were so amazed by another kid doing magic tricks. Trust me on this, if you want your virtual birthday party to be a hit that every kid and parent talks about, book Dan NOW! Tell him that Robert H. sent you! read more

We had a party and needed entertainment for the kids. Colin had so much energy and kept the kids entertained with his magic tricks the entire time. Plus he was really good and made balloon animals for everyone! I definitely recommend Dan Chan Presents and make sure you request Colin. read more

I hired Dan and his son James for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. They were a hit with the crowd! They are talented! Highly recommend!

Dan and his son James did a magic show for our daughters bday back in Jan 2020. We were so impressed by Dan and also his young son. They were able to captivate a group of kids and adults of a variety of ages. When I saw the weather was going to be rainy I immediately thought of him and his son for our daughters small 6th bday party this year as well. This time it was just his son James, who has grown into a sweet, impressive teenager. He engaged the kids of all ages, and we (meaning all the adults) were supremely impressed by him. James was aware enough to engage the younger kids at their level, wasn't phased by the younger toddlers running and screaming around, and you could tell he is a kind soul. James was a delight and ended up doing a one hour show for the kids (we'd booked him for 30 min)! Dan was super responsive and it was really easy to book the show (text and a quick phone call, payment and info all online). It was a last minute booking and we were thrilled they were available. His wife Kat was very sweet and made a special balloon for our daughter - skye from paw patrol! Dan and Kat, your son is impressive beyond his years. Kudos to you as parents for raising such a sweet young man! Thank you again! read more

Dan was overall amazing and was a hit at my wedding! Highly recommended him for any event as fun entertainment! He was very friendly and engaging with everyone and was able to do some amazing card tricks that hat our guests freaking out! Looking forward to finding another opportunity to work with Dan! read more

Long overdo review. Dan Chan is the real deal. My Wife and I arrived late to her company holiday party and he politely asked if he could share our table and eat with us. Some ice breaker convo ensued. He told us he was a magician the company commissioned for entertainment. But that he's already finished the allotted time he was paid for. We thought we missed out. After we finished our plates. He offered to show us a couple tricks. I/we were amazed and astounded to say the least. It's been nearly three months and I still wonder how the hell he did what he did. David Blain ain't got s*@# on Dan Chan. Just playing it's not a competition. Dan knows his craft though, that's for sure. If you have a big party planned. Hire this man. He drops jaws. And does the extra to ensure your guests have a good time. Dan Chan, hope to catch you again someday. read more

Highly recommend! First met Dan Chan at my company's corporate event, he was amazing! Entertaining, fun, talented, he put on an amazing show! He also staffs talented folks for birthday parties and magic shows, we hired Collin to host my sons 5th birthday, it was a party kids and parents still talk about! Magic, comedy, balloon artist, a wonderful time! We will definitely call Dan for our next event! read more

Hired Dan for a private event. It was such a great decision. Friends who came alone or didn't know anyone felt more at ease because they had such great entertainment! It was also easier for them to socialize with strangers. Highly recommend for your next event! read more

Dan Chan is the Man!!! He performed at our company holiday party, highly recommend him. His magic left you saying, "how the heck did he do that?" He is super professional and very talented. If you want to have your mind blown with never seen magic tricks and an outstanding performance ...make sure to call Dan. Thank you so much Dan! read more

Daniel and James are amazing, they keep audience interested even over zoom, let's be honest, there are challenges and limitation, but I can see they are listening to feedbacks and adapting very quickly. Highly recommended for entertainment of virtual parties! read more

Best magician ever !!! Not only were the kids in awe but so we're the adults! Such a great show ! Charismatic and so talented !

Dan's lovely wife Kat and his really handsome and funny son James came out last night to entertain a small group of preschool and childcare teachers celebrate.

I attended one of Dan's virtual magic shows via Zoom and was truly amazed. Now I don't say that lightly, because in this age of social distancing I've been keeping myself fully entertained with other performances including magic, and mind reading. Dan's son James is also an aspiring young magician. The show mixed classic illusions as well as some stunning close-up surprises. I'm very glad I attended this performance. Thank you Dan and James! ‍‍Bravo! read more

Dan Chan is great! We hired him for close-up magic at our wedding and didn't tell our guests. He is super friendly and our guests were very surprised and delighted. We specifically had asked him to not be super flashy or to put on a show. He did exactly what we asked for: he was subtle in how he approached groups of friends & family, and kept things very personal, light and fun. His tricks are amazing and even we are still scratching our heads over how he got us to sign both sides of the same card. We would absolutely hire him again! read more

I booked Colin for my 30th Birthday party and he was a hit! He did balloon figured, balloon flowers, balloon dogs, you name it! My guests had so much fun trying to stump him and it was just a funny silly thing for a grown-up birthday party. He was also doing some fun magic tricks and it was great. Thanks so much! read more

Dan and his son James performed at my adult birthday party. Everyone who went was speechless when they were finished. They did a beautiful job, building the suspense gracefully as the illusions got more confounding. Never disappointing, always intriguing whether they handle a very intimate or larger crowd (as I have witnessed them in both scenarios). read more

Dan is so great! We hosted my sister's 42nd Birthday Party with Dan Chan the Magician Man and everyone across the country laughed together, from their own home, without having to wear masks!!! Take that COVID!!! Thanks for making it awesome, DAN!!! read more

I threw my 40th birthday party this past weekend and Dan was great! His magic was outstanding and he was very engaging to all my guests. Everyone were really surprised and had so much fun! Thank you Dan! read more

Dan Chan is a great magician and entertainer. He knows how to capture a room and surprise everyone with his magic. I hired Dan Chan for my mothers birthday and he made the entire room laugh while surprising them with his magic. I will definitely be hiring Dan again. He is a must see entertainer! read more

Dan Chan Presents - Magicians Near Me

My hubby and I hired Mr. Dan Chan, the awesome Magician, to our wedding reception. Dan was a hit with our guests, he fit right in with the crowd, and because we didn't tell people that there was a magician among us, people were confused as to why he was asking to borrow some personal items from our guests to make them disappear. (So funny!!) Even though I didn't see some of Dan's tricks, my uncle, till this day, keeps betting me that Dan wouldn't be able to make that $1 turn into a $2... yes, $1 to $20 is awesome, buy how about a $2!!! I would totally hire him again for the next event! read more

Dan performed for a birthday dinner event and everyone had an amazing time. Dan worked with us for all the details and set up. His communication and organization was very responsive and professional. The entire party was drawn in and pacing was great. He did a performance before and after the meal and everyone left wanting more. read more

He performed at a holiday party I attended. He had a wide variety of magic tricks. He had great delivery, and it was one of the better magic shows I have seen. Highly recommend read more

Participated in a video/ virtual show as a work function and it was so much fun! Very entertaining and lots of surprises!

A few months back, we were looking for a fun way to bring our team together for a celebration. We wanted something different. We found Dan. He hosted 3 Zoom Events for us in the same day. One for our team in Dublin Ireland, one for our team in the United States and one for our team in Manila. From our first conversation to the end of the final show, Dan displayed a strong understanding of what we wanted for our celebration. He was engaging and the experience was fun. Our shows were geared toward family and Dan included his son for a portion of the celebration. Dan and family were a delight to work with and a pleasure to watch. read more

We hired Dan for the "Entertainment" portion of our Virtual Team All Hands. We had a group of nearly 50 and the team loved it. Dan kept everyone very engaged. He called on different people, featured them and did magic tricks and mind reading that was jaw dropping! His kid performed too - he was so good, even hypnotic in his performances. I definitely recommend him for Virtual and can only imagine how awesome in-person would be. read more

Dan was GREAT! We book the Magic of the Mind show for our staff. Dan was very accommodating, one of our staff members was concerned about the idea of "magic" and mind reading as her religion does not believe in mind readers or telling the future. Dan gave us several options on how he was willing adjust the show to ensure everyone was comfortable. During the show he reiterated several times that this was trickery and that he was not actually reading our minds. Our team was impressed with Dan's magic, he was very engaging and funny. We are still wondering how he pulled off all of his tricks. We highly recommend Dan! read more

We recently hired James Chan for our daughter's 6th birthday party with 20 of her friends and their parents, and we cannot say enough good things about him and our experience. From beginning to end, we were fascinated by James' talent and ability to interact with both kids and adults! He wow'd all of us with his magic tricks, funny jokes, juggling and Chinese yo-yo acts. We HIGHLY recommend him!!! This young man is going to go far in life--he has such charisma and stage presence! read more
