“David Reed-Brown is more than just a magician. Yes his magic is expert and entertaining and awe-inspiring, but the real magic is the ... way in which he presents it. You leave his performances knowing that life itself is magical and filled with endless possibilities.”

“I recommend his uncanny presentation… slick… well-deserved raves… a clever Renaissance Man.”

“David Reed-Brown’s magic is very fine. However, he is not a magician who tacked a message onto his show. He is not a speaker who learned a little magic. David brings a lifetime of experience in working with people as a pastor, plus a lifelong passion for magic as a performing art together into a unique presentation that engages, informs, and persuades audiences with a message customized to your needs.”

“David came and performed a set for a group of Fifth and Sixth graders at Silver Lake Conference Center, the United Church of Christ’s outdoor ministry overnight camp. He artfully wove together his magic, and his theology in an inclusive performance that, as one kid said he, “keeps BLOWING my MIND!!” The youth were absolutely enraptured, and the adult chaperones were equally as impressed. His performance made the Harry Potter themed week absolutely wonderful, and several of the youth mentioned “the magician” as a highlight of their experience. David’s interchange with the audience and enthusiasm and care for his work were absolutely magical. I highly recommend his production for any group!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with David Reed-Brown on a number of occasions .. most recently as a guest performer for our middle school’s Positive Behavior Support (PBiS) celebration …that would reinforce our school motto of “Respect Self, Others, and the Environment.” David effectively weaved the theme throughout his performance of “Living a Magical Life” in a manner which was easily heard and understood by our students. I have a deep respect for David’s ability to combine his gift as an illusionist with his gift as a story teller. He is able to connect the listeners to his words and actions, and when be invites someone to participate on stage with him; both the participant and the audience are pulled into a magical moment. He has impeccable timing and an ability to respond appropriately to unexpected situations, and I would highly recommend David as a skilled and professional speaker/performer for both youth and adults.'

“David Reed-Brown is an amazing magician who enthralls persons of all ages, from children to adults. Beyond his outstanding magic, David’s presentations convey life-affirming signals. Church groups and other public service organizations widely welcome him, but so do corporate organizations. You can do no better than secure David for you next major function. I have and I have never been disappointed.”
Dr. Benjamin Griffin
President Emeritus, Andover Newton Theological School
"David is amazing, baffling, charming and a joy to work with! He is a kind, courteous and consummate professional, and he works very well with our staff, so no worries. People love the joy and wonder David brings to their evening, like a warm-up before live music starts in the tap room. At one wedding, a bride floated in the air, then he graciously, patiently helped a boy 'do the magic' so well, he turned out to be the star bowing to thunderous applause. David and his magic are a wonderful part of the icing on our cake.”

David’s magic flies anywhere in the world.
He has performed from Boston to Las Vegas to Miami, from Costa Rica to London to the Indian Himalaya. While magic does has limits like any performance art, he has entertained and inspired in a great variety of venues and can create wonder indoors and out; in person, on the internet and on TV; from stage to standing on a chair.
