About our Performers

Bruce Gold

http://www.brucegold.com/

Bruce got his start in showbiz thanks to a TV Magic Set and went on to appear on TV’s Master’s of Illusion, Penn & Teller’s Fool Us and as the host of his own TV talkshow. You may have even seen Bruce as the laughable magician in an award winning “got milk?” TV commercial, as a guest star on the sitcom Full House or on Oprah.

Bruce studied theater in college and toured the USA as a stand-up comedian before moving to Hollywood Hollywood California where he became a favorite at Hollywood’s famous Magic Castle. He’s also appeared in Las Vegas, aboard the world’s largest cruise ships and works in the entertainment industry as a creative consultant for companies like Lucas Film. Variety Magazine said, “Bruce Gold is a funny man of considerable charm.” Bruce says the secret to his success is his magic formula, “Laugh, laugh wow!”

Dave Cox

https://thedavecoxshow.com

Dave Cox is hilarious. And I’m not just saying that because I’m his quickly thrown together Bio. He’s very, very funny. More than that, he’ll fool the pants off of you. And then he’ll very politely give them back, unlike some of those weaselly trouser stealing magicians I’m sure you’ve heard so much about.

Dave’s quick wit, spellbinding magic, and side-splitting comedy gets your entire audience involved in a smart, high energy, faced paced show, filled with magic, hilarity, and, occasionally, a real live bunny rabbit. They will laugh, gasp, and rub their eyes in that comical way cartoon characters do. Whether it’s your clients, your fans, your employees, or your kids, everyone walks away with happy memories of how Elaine from accounting was hypnotized by a monkey, how Billy was sawed in half without a scratch, and, most especially, how you were the one who made it all happen. As Dave likes to say, he gets the credit for the miracles, but you get the credit for creating such a fun, wonderful, and wondrous event.

Dave looks forward to the opportunity to delight and amaze you.

Dave and his evil hypnotist monkey have performed all over the world, from the Magic Castle to Malaysia, from Masters of Illusion to a run on Broadway, on cruise ships, on television, in theaters, and for celebrities at fancy, fancy parties. He is renowned for his fun, improvisational style, and his spontaneous lunacy. But, in the words of one reviewer “underneath the laughter, if you look closely, you will notice that his show has some insanely strong magic, and he plays with his audience like a maestro.”
