Dan Sperry

Dan Sperry is not your average magician.

To see a Dan Sperry show is to experience a show like you’ve never seen before.  Creatively combining comedy, magic, and illusion with a twist of the bizarre, Dan Sperry creates an evening of entertainment that has been called:

“A Wild Ride” (Magic Magazine)

“A Hilarious and Awesome Show!” (University of Wisconsin)

“Amazing and Fantastic!” (North Eastern University), and

“a Blast!” (Spokane Community College)

Awarded as “Most Original Magician” by Kyle and Christopher Massey on FOX’s World Magic Awards this high-energy, interactive show is nothing short of a non-stop roller coaster ride of pure mayhem.

You’ll see why Dan is one of the nation’s top acts for colleges and universities, corporate functions, and fairs and festivals! He brings his original brand of illusion, direct from his international television appearances and nightly performances on the Las Vegas strip, to your event guaranteeing an evening of laughter and amazement that you’ll never forget!

Dan is a multi-dimensional performer and can customize his shows to better fit your event’s size and budget by incorporating anything from a formal close-up magic show to a performance of mingling or walk around sleight-of-hand interaction for groups during a cocktail hour or hospitality suite.  Or you may choose to combine the two by having Dan interact with guests during a social hour and perform some close-up sleight of hand, then wrap up the evening later with a full stage performance.
