Frequently Asked Questions
Is David Farr able to entertain people who don't speak English?
Thankfully, magic is very universally appealing to all walks of life! Although your non-english speaking guests may not totally understand every funny joke David makes, they’ll still be thoroughly entertained and amazed by what they see!
Does David perform outside of the Minneapolis St. Paul area?
Yes, even though David is based in Minneapolis, MN, he travels to all parts of Minnesota as well as the upper midwest in cities such as Des Moines, IA, Fargo, ND, Sioux Falls, SD and Madison, WI. You may have been looking for a magician near me when searching online but keep in mind David Farr will travel!
Is David able to entertain guests during the meal without disrupting their dining experience?
Technically yes but we really don’t recommend it. By the nature of the entertainment, your guests participate in the magic and are often asked to help out. This is sometimes difficult when people are eating. And also it’s hard to “watch closely” when you’re enjoying dinner. This applies to all packages, strolling and stage shows.
What kind of room set up do you need for the stage show?
Typically having the stage setup against a wall having all of your guests seated in front and as close as possible (this helps provide a more intimate feeling). Guests that are seated directly to either side of the stage or behind, have TERRIBLE seats and therefore it’s best to avoid that. A space that can comfortably seat all of your guests without having them on the sides or behind the stage is best. Also watch out for those huge annoying beams right in the middle of some rooms. Please take into consideration your guests so they don’t get stuck behind one of them and miss out on the fun. See the example room diagram below.
Optionally, you can request “pipe and drape” for the stage which basically serves as the backdrop of the performance and gives it a nice feel.
What do we need to provide you on our end?
What is needed varies based on the type of entertainment being provided. If you go with a strolling/close up magic package, where David is merely strolling through your event and entertaining the guests, there are virtually no additional requirements. Everything David needs he comes prepared with in his pockets ready to entertain when he arrives at the event. For the stage show packages, there are some important requirements that are needed in order for a successful performance. 1. If David is the only performer with equipment on the stage (besides a podium), then we recommend a stage at least 12′ x 8′ and at least 6 inches off the floor. Depending on how high the stage is, stairs might also be required as there is fun audience participation throughout the performance. In cases where David’s equipment would be sharing the stage with other performer(s), a larger stage me be necessary or other special considerations. 2. In most cases, David will provide his own sound system unless it’s a performance that requires air travel. In this case, we’ll also need a professional sound system setup and monitored throughout the performance. The best type of mic is a headset mic known as a “country man”. It is wireless and hands free. We also need an an input for an iPod for sound effects. Once again, most of the time David provides his own professional sound system. Please keep in mind that you still may have AV needs yourself and still may want to ask your venue to provide a microphone to show a presentation, announce winners, give speeches, etc. 3. In regards to lighting, we have no specific needs but do recommend not having your event too dark because it becomes more difficult for your guests to experience the amazing magic when they are struggling to see what’s happening.
Will this embarrass or offend anyone?
We’re proud to say that absolutely NO ONE is embarrassed in any way. We’ve heard many horror stories of how other entertainers have completely offended guests in the audience with off color jokes and remarks. David Farr’s entertainment is completely G-Rated and never relies on entertaining people by making fun or laughing at people. “We’re not laughing at you, we’re laughing with you…”
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal. You may pay securely online using PayPal or our Secure Payment Page. If paying with check, please make check payable to “David Farr”
What size audiences can David entertain?
David’s entertainment is best suited for small to medium size crowds. David entertains groups as intimate as 10 people all the way up to 500 guests in a ballroom. If you have a large group (200 or more), the use of projection screens makes the show even more enjoyable for your guests. Talk to your venue or contact a local audio/video company with questions to further explore that option.
What David's Clients Are Saying...
David was the highlight of our market. Everyone (attendees, managers, executives, hotel staff, etc.) was absolutely enthralled with his street magic, and came back for more during the evening show. We can’t thank him enough. From day one he put us at ease with great communication and attention to detail, and then truly shined as he engaged our customers and kept them in the showroom wanting to see more.

Just hired David for a corporate holiday party. He was awesome! Everyone at the party enjoyed his close up magic. David is very professional, animated and loves working a crowd!
David did an amazing job entertaining and stunning the team with his magic. He has a naturally friendly personality that easily engages and entertains people. He performs a wide variety of magic tricks, excellent for gatherings of groups that form at parties. He’s one of the best in his craft, I highly recommend him
I can’t say enough about David. We hired him for a corporate event AND for a separate fundraiser event and he hit the ball out of the park! Not only are his magic tricks amazing (i.e. mind-blowing!), he is such a great guy and very personable. Great jokes to boot…. and the crowd loved him.
David Farr is the real deal. I would highly recommend him for any corporate or engagement event that you want your employees or attendees to remember! He interacts and ensures that everybody is having fun! Include David Farr in your event if you want people to laugh and have FUN..!!!!!
We had David at our Chick-fil-A Christmas Party, and with team members ranging from ages 14 to 85, that’s no small feat. David truly shined with every age group. Throughout the night, I kept hearing loud gasps and cheers as he strolled and performed his magic, and his full show was just as impressive. Thank you, David, for helping make our Christmas party so memorable.
David did an amazing job entertaining our members at our annual Halloween brunch! He is a fabulous entertainer for both adults and kids -- also so great to work with, we love having him here! Thanks David!
This is our second time having David Farr at our team holiday event for Ethos Dental and he was ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING! David took our team event to a whole new level with nonstop energy, huge reaction, and jaw-dropping surprises. Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier-BOOM! Our room was buzzing with laughter, shock and excitement. People are still talking about it! If you want your team event or really any event to be unforgettable, hire David Farr Magic!
I hired David to perform at my wife's birthday party since she's been asking to see him literally for years. He did NOT disappoint! He captivated our entire party from the moment he walked through the door! Adults and kids alike, we're still trying to figure out how he did everything! We'll definitely bring him back! Highly, highly recommend David!
I saw David at an office party and decided to book him for a large event we were hosting to launch the winter season in Minneapolis. He was excellent the first time and did not fail to impress the second time either. So much good feedback and a great performer.
David was great at our chamber event! He engaged with the audience during the social hour with close up magic which added something nice to the event - his on stage act was excellent! Never missed a beat and always amazed the crowd.
As the event coordinator I especially appreciated the pre-call to make sure we were thinking of those things that would make the night go off without a hitch and it did.
David is the BEST magician in Minneapolis. I truly appreciate his dedication to the craft. I hired him for a trade show and he was stellar. Everybody was incredibly impressed with his talent. He had a wide variety of tricks. Hire this guy!!
We hosted an internal virtual event for our employees and we brought David Farr on for the entertainment portion. He was extremely professional, responsive and had a great attitude. He left our audience with the "wow factor" as his tricks were unbelievable. We still aren't sure how he does his magic tricks! It was such a cool experience and we hope to use him in the future. Thank you, David, for such a great experience! Our employees can't stop talking about it!
We had David entertain the crowd at my in-law's 50th anniversary party on a St. Croix riverboat. How was he? Well, let me put it this way: Several people in attendance asked me for his contact info to book him for future events. He was great and everyone loved that we had him for the afternoon.
Thanks David!
