Introduction

Hi, I am Danny Cheng. I specialize in close-up magic and performing hand-shadow puppets, also I speak fluently in both English and Chinese Mandarin. I can weave my way throughout the event and mingle with your guests or perform in front of a group or audience to make sure that you and your guests are all energized and have truly unique, unforgettable moments with my performance. I enjoy simply performing and having magical moments with people! I love sharing the magical moments by performing in front of people.

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Typically, I'd like to seek out detailed information about the customer's event and see if we are good fit to work together, and based on our discussions, I will quote an accurate price. If the customer agrees on what we discussed, then we will be ready to move on to have the show start!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
I am always learning! I do study and practice to improve my work, I sometimes also join lectures or sessions with other performers or magicians to make myself a better performer.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
One time, one of my middle school teachers showed me a simple coin trick and I was amazed by how incredibly visual it was. I couldn't even believe that just happened in front of my eyes. That kind of amazement and feelings become some things that I would never forget, and yet I started learning to do the magic from that point of my life. I always want to be able to recreate that kind of amazement and magical moments when I first saw magic with people to share those wonderful feelings, and this is how I started to do what I am doing.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Mostly, as a close up magician, I tend to work with smaller groups of people to make sure everyone can enjoy the unforgettable moment of magic. I have worked with families, restaurants or even corporate fundraising events.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
I have mostly been working with clients at various events as a performer to give people a glimpse of the magic world, and Recently in 2017, I was awarded by IBM(International Brotherhood of Magicians) Ring 216 as 1st place for both Yearly Close-up competition and Yearly Walk-around competition, plus People’s Choice Award for Yearly Close-up competition. It wasn't easy to create the routine I do. To be honest, it was even a bit nerve racking to compete with other professionals but it is truly an honor to win and I am glad to see people enjoy what I do as well.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
As a performer/entertainer, I would like to know as much information of the show or event as I can before it comes in order to make it a more fun, unforgettable experience.
