Sleight of Hand—Mentalist—Comedy
Minneapolis Magician For Hire
Award-Winning Minnesota Magician for all Ages
Guests forget the food. They forget the playlist. What they remember, and repeat, is the thing they could not explain. David Farr has been performing since 1988, and the reviews tend to say the same things: the highlight of the evening, gasps and laughter across the room, people still talking about it days later. Strolling close-up magic, mentalism and clean comedy — for a room of any age.
Trusted by MN Twins, MN Vikings, MN Wild, Target, Medtronic, General Mills, Cargill, and many more!
Corporate & Business Event Entertainment
Corporate rooms start slow. People stand in twos, the networking is not really happening, and nobody wants to be first to start a conversation. Close-up magic fixes that, because it gives people something to react to together.
Then it spreads. One group hears another group shout, and the room starts moving toward it. Clients describe the ice breaking on its own — guests gathering, comparing what they just saw, talking to people they had not met yet.
For a seated audience, the 45-minute Comedy, Magic & Mentalism Show does the same job from the front of the room, and works as either the opener or the closer for a conference, awards night or team event.
Special Event Entertainment
Weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements. The entertainment at these usually sits in the background, and nobody minds much either way.
This does not. Grandparents and teenagers end up reacting to the same thing at the same moment, which is rarer than it sounds and is most of the reason people book it. The material is clean and holds up for every age in the room.
No stage required and nothing to set up. David works the room where people already are — at the tables, around the bar, in the kitchen.
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.

All Night Grad & Post-Prom Events
Rated 5.0 out of 5 across 287 Google reviews, and booked by schools across Minnesota and the surrounding states — Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Post-prom and grad nights are their own problem. The audience is a tough one, and the hardest part of the night is the stretch after midnight. One post-prom organizer put it plainly: David “did a great job at keeping the kids engaged at 1:00 a.m.”
Strolling magic through the gym, or the 45-minute Comedy, Magic & Mentalism Show for the whole group. Clean throughout, with more than 25 years of school events behind it.
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
A SMALL BIRTHDAY PARTY
“Christina made it so easy to book and plan our event, and David blew us away! Our whole party spent the rest of the evening raving about his performance. We were a pretty small group, but David made this birthday party unforgettable!”

What David's Clients Are Saying...
baffles the whole group!
What he accomplishes is
truly Magical. I would highly
recommend him for any
group. Thanks for going
above and beyond!
and a lot of positive comments regarding the show! We were able to raise over 250K for Brave Kids Bold Cures with David’s help!
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.
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!
