STROLLING MAGIC
Magic, right in their hands.
David moves through your event, entertaining small groups with sophisticated close-up magic and plenty of unexpected moments. No stage. No complicated setup. Just an experience your guests will be talking about long after the event ends.
STAGE SHOWS
An entire room sharing the impossible.
An interactive show created for adult audiences, combining astonishing magic, psychological moments and humor with plenty of audience participation. Designed for intimate venues and small theaters of up to 300 guests.
Magic Designed for Adult Audiences
David's magic is built specifically for adult audiences, combining sleight of hand, psychology, comedy, and audience participation.
The experience goes beyond seeing something unbelievable. It's about understanding why what just happened should have been impossible.
Adults Understand the Layers of Impossibility
A completely random choice. Information David couldn't possibly know. An outcome that was already in place before the decision was ever made.
Adults connect those pieces. The deeper they understand the impossibility, the bigger the reaction.
That's the moment David's performances are built around: sophisticated, interactive magic that leaves an entire room thinking, “There's no way.”
YOUR EVENT SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE EVERY OTHER EVENT.
You’ve planned the venue, the food, the music and the details. But what will your guests actually remember?
David of Lake Erie Illusions brings sophisticated, interactive magic directly to your guests, creating the kind of shared moments that get people laughing, talking and asking, “How did he DO that?”

Meet David
Bringing a little wonder back to grown-up life.
You want your guests to experience something they’ll remember—not just another event.
David Lee, the magician behind Lake Erie Illusions, believes magic is about sharing that moment of amazement together. His fascination began with a magic kit at age seven and grew into more than 25 years of studying and performing professional magic.
Today, David brings sleight of hand, personality, and impossible moments to corporate events, private celebrations, and theater stages. Whether the magic happens inches from your guests or in front of a seated audience, the goal is the same: help people relax, connect, and rediscover their sense of wonder.
Questions Before You Book?
Let’s make finding the right entertainment easier.
What kinds of events does Lake Erie Illusions perform at?
David offers magic for adult audiences at corporate events, private parties, conferences, fundraisers, and theater performances. If you’re looking for a magician for a Cleveland corporate event or an adult celebration, share your plans so David can help you explore the right format.
What’s the difference between strolling magic and a stage show?
Strolling magic brings close-up magic directly to small groups as guests mingle. It works well during arrivals, cocktail hours, and breaks between event activities.
A stage magic show gives your audience a shared performance to enjoy together. David can also discuss combining strolling magic and a stage show for your event.
Is the theater show suitable for a smaller venue?
Yes. Lake Erie Illusions’ theater offering is designed for small theaters up to 300. Share your seating capacity and stage details so David can discuss the fit for your venue.
Is this magic show intended for children?
David’s entertainment is focused on adults, corporate audiences, and adult private events. Lake Erie Illusions does not offer children’s birthday party entertainment.
How long is a performance?
Performance length depends on your event schedule and the format you choose. Tell David when guests will arrive, when other activities are planned, and where you’d like the entertainment to fit.
How much does it cost to hire David?
Pricing depends on the performance format, audience size, location, and scope of your event. Start by checking availability and sharing a few details. David will discuss suitable options and pricing with you.
Do we need to provide a table, sound system, or other equipment?
Requirements depend on the performance and venue. David will discuss the space, sound, and any equipment needs with you before the event so you know what to prepare.
How do we book Lake Erie Illusions?
Start with your preferred date, event location, approximate guest count, and the type of entertainment you’re considering. David will discuss your needs, availability, and pricing. Once you agree on the details, you’ll confirm the booking in writing, and David will confirm it with you.
Can David customize the magic for our event?
