The man behind the magic
Behind the performances, David Penn is recognised within the magic industry as a creator, mentor, and consultant, responsible for developing effects and presentations used by some of the world’s most successful performers.
David mentored and worked closely with Mind2Mind, the current World Champions of Magic, designing material for their award-winning act — including an effect that fooled the judging panel at the FISM World Championships, widely regarded as the most demanding jury in magic.
His work extends beyond his own performances. David has written, directed, and advised leading television and stage acts, helping shape material that connects with modern audiences at the highest level.
David’s expertise has also been applied to high-end brand environments, where he has worked as a consultant on product launches and live experiences for global companies including Cisco, Panasonic, Sony, and Procter & Gamble.
This understanding of how to structure moments, manage attention, and create impact underpins every performance David delivers — whether close-up during a reception or gala dinner, or as part of a cabaret or stage performance in front of a live audience.
