Corporate & Business Event Entertainment

There are two ways to do it. Strolling close-up magic works the room during a cocktail hour, reception or trade show — five to ten minutes per group, no stage, and nothing you have to build your schedule around. The Comedy, Magic & Mentalism Show is a 45-minute set for a seated audience: sleight of hand, mind-reading and clean comedy.

Either way the job is the same — get people engaged early, and give them something to talk about afterwards. That is close to how clients describe it: the highlight of the evening, loud gasps and cheers across the room, employees who cannot stop talking about it the next day.

Planning an event should be easy. David is prompt, professional, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. From your first inquiry through showtime, you'll get clear communication, simple planning, and a polished experience.

Trusted by MN Twins, MN Vikings, MN Wild, Target, Medtronic, General Mills, Cargill, and many more!

Since 1988, David Farr has specialized in interactive magic and comedy for corporate audiences, including Best Buy, the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Vikings, 3M, General Mills, Wells Fargo, American Express, Target and Emerson.

Corporate rooms are most of what he does, so the usual problems are already solved: a set that lands with a 14-year-old and an 85-year-old in the same room, material nobody’s grandmother would object to, and an act that needs almost nothing from you. He arrives early, sets up himself, and the entertainment stops being something you have to manage.

Magic they cannot figure out. Cards change in their own hands. Objects vanish while they are holding them. The most common thing people say afterwards is that they still have no idea how he did it.

Comedy that stays clean. The laughs come from the situation, never at the expense of the person helping out. Nothing in the show would be a problem in front of an employee, a client or somebody’s spouse.

Everyone gets involved. Guests are part of the trick rather than an audience for it — which is what turns a quiet room into groups of people crowding round to see what just happened.

Will It Land? Will It Be a Hassle? Will It Embarrass Anyone?

Prompt, professional, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with.

😂 Laughs and genuine astonishment. Close-up sleight of hand, clean humor everyone can enjoy, and mentalism — the mind-reading usually gets the biggest reaction of the night.

🎩 Nothing for you to manage. David arrives early, looks the part, and starts working the room as guests come in. Clients describe him as professional, responsive and easy to work with.

🤝 The David Farr Promise. Anyone who helps David is the star of the moment, never the joke — and nothing in the show would be a problem in front of anyone in the room.

The David Farr Promise

When you book me, you’re trusting me with your guests and your reputation. So here’s my promise:

Nobody is the joke.

Anyone who helps me on stage is the star of the moment, not the punchline, and goes back to their seat looking good.

Clean from start to finish.

No swearing, no innuendo, no put-downs. Nothing I wouldn’t do in front of your CEO, your best client or your grandmother.

Professional in every room.

Respectful of your guests, your staff and your schedule, from the moment I arrive until I leave.

You look good for hiring me.

The question you’ll hear afterwards isn’t “Who booked this guy?” It’s “How do I book him?”

— David Farr

What David's Clients Are Saying...

AN ANNUAL CUSTOMER APPRECIATION EVENT

“We recently hired David Farr to perform his strolling magic at a Twins baseball game during our annual customer appreciation event. He’s become a staple of this gathering, and our guests absolutely love his talent and energy. The event wouldn’t be the same without him.”

Lexxi T., Google review

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.

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.

This is our second time having David Farr at our team holiday event for Ethos Dental and he was ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING!

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!
