- Shantell1 contributionAMAZING!!!I absolutely loved this show! I was recommended by a friend to get a ticket. This was my first virtual magic show so I was curious how it would go and was shocked with how much fun I had. Dan was very entertaining and kept the audience’s attention. I am still in awe of how he was able to pull off some of his tricks, especially the one at the end. Highly recommend for a solo date or with friends and family.Visited December 2022Written December 14, 2022
- Gen B1 contributionUnbelievable Experience!!!!!Unbelievable experience!! Was given as a Christmas gift- able to enjoy a very entertaining virtual magic show in our living room in Canada. My boys, 12 and 14 were riveted the entire show and we were honestly sooo blown away by Dan's performance. Dan The Magician is a wonderful entertainer, engaging the audience perfectly and we were truly baffled by what happened in the show. If you are looking for the perfect evening of entertainment or the perfect gift for someone you cannot go wrong with The Magician!!!!Visited December 2022Written December 29, 2022
- Gayle7 contributionsDelight from ArizonaThis was so much fun! We didn’t know what to expect except our friends said it was wonderful. The mystery box arrived and kept us getting until the night of the show. We ended up joining another couple and we were blown away by some of the trucks! What a clever and unique approach, especially when not traveling to New York!!Visited December 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten December 30, 2022
- sem1 contributionmagnificent! no tired rabbits in a hatmy number one tip is to remember to breathe. i caught myself holding my breath in awe of the magic in front of my eyes (or sometimes behind me in the audience). my boyfriend and i went to the magician on a mild weathered friday, unsure of what to expect. we found the lady in white, who gave us instructions before sending us up to our seats. amidst dim lighting, the room was buzzing with energy. this buzz continued throughout the show. audience members were eager to participate (though I preferred to observe). dan white, aside from being a master of the magic craft, has impeccable comedic timing. he makes magic fun while keeping it elegant. this was our best date night of the year and i recommend the show for local new yorkers and visitors seeking wonder.Visited December 2022Written February 1, 2023
- John HWayne, New Jersey23 contributionsYou will leave this show saying to yourself how was that even possible!!!simply unbelievable! What I thought was just going to be a couple of hours of fun in New York City completely blew my mind. This show is a must see event while you are in New York City. Although we are not supposed to provide any specifics on what occurred, suffice to say that it was the best magician performance I've ever seen.Visited February 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten February 11, 2023
- Flavia L1 contributionRecommend show for all!Great show, exciting, fun and entertaining! The show is very interactive keeps surprising throughout the whole show. The magician is a great entertainer and still wondering what happened within those walls! Also great location in the fotografiska builing which is so unique.Visited February 2023Written February 18, 2023
- Laura B1 contributionBOOK THIS NOW!Oh my gosh do yourself, your family and friends a big favor and BOOK the virtual event! We had a blast, and the sense of mystery, fun and adventure began the minute the secret box arrived in the mail! You honestly will be gobsmacked by the magic Dan creates, and his generous spirit is evident as well. It feels as if you are in an elegant ballroom with him and the other guests - SO MUCH FUN!Visited March 2023Written March 2, 2023
- Patti DLa Quinta, California19 contributionsMagic Show at HomeWhat an amazing experience! So easy to log in on zoom and have a personal experience of magic in the comfort of your home. The show was well paced and repeatedly had us gasping in disbelief at what occurred right before our eyes! You are mailed a sealed box ahead of the performance and it gives you the opportunity to participate in the magic! Well worth the time and money!Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 2, 2023
- KateNew York1 contributionWOW!!A friend at work had great things to say about this show, looking for something fun to do I bought tickets to take my husband for his birthday. In this small intimate setting Dan really makes the audience a part of his “magical” show, my husband the ultimate skeptic kept trying to figure out the tricks and saying the people in the audience must be part of the act for things to mysteriously happen they way they were happening, then….he was chosen to participate in one of the final acts of the night and all we can say is WOW!!! Amazing, my husband is still calling people to tell them about his experience at this fun and exciting show!!!!Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 4, 2023
- Heather SPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania11 contributionsAmazing!My husband and I loved this show! Dan White is very talented, funny, and charismatic. We’d highly recommend it! The only thing to keep in mind is that the seats are pretty cramped together. I’d also recommend getting there early. There aren’t many elevators, so it takes time to get up to the show. Both of those things did not take away from our enjoyment of the show!Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 12, 2023

Dan has gotten concensus 5 star reviews for a good reason. He is phenomenal. He does great magic in a fun way. He involves the audience in all his tricks and makes everyone feel comfortable on stage. At the end of the show, he stands at the exit and thanks everyone for coming. Definitely worth the price

The finale was spectacular with personalized magic and deception! Friends who had seen the show in person and online invited us to join them for this online phenomena. Dan White is amazing with a well done participatory display of mind games, magic and mystery. I would highly recommend this virtual entertainment for individuals, couples, family and even corporate use.

Dan White is a consummate performer of the magic arts.
During covid, he's been performing virtually for his audience. Let me start by saying that that endeavor is SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to perform in any capacity to engage a large audience via a virtual platform. The fact that him and his team succeeds so completely to pull in the audience into a shared experience, as if we were live in person is quite literally magic in and of itself.
That sense of delight and awe in the unexpected to the way the show draws you and others into a shared experience is honestly second to none.
Don't wait until everyone is vaccinated and miss out on such a great virtual experience. Him and his team sets a high bar of what can be done with a ton of creativity, hard work, and showmanship.
We're looking forward to seeing him back at the NoMad when it's possible to do so again.

I experienced the virtual show with a friend, and it was one of the most memorable experiences ever.
The show is about 90 mins long and packed of mind blowing magic. Seeing Dan talk and be overly cheerful was a bit surprising, as he comes of more mysterious and smooth when performing on TV, but I guess the medium calls for it.
That being said, there was a hiccup in my friend's mystery box. He did not receive one item, and one other item was incomplete, so his experience of the show wasn't complete.
That being said I understand that mistakes can happen, as we are all humans, but considering the very steep price of $150, I believe one should triple check if all items were properly packed in the mystery box.

What a fun experience! The show was flawlessly laid out. There were no clumsy or awkward moments, no tech issues, no pauses. The show itself was amazing! Dan is incredible. He interacted with the audience a lot and made the whole experience one of wonderment and mystery! The magic was mind boggling with loud cheers and gasps after! It didn’t feel like a virtual platform at all - we felt like we were actually there, in a theater, having this experience. I absolutely recommend you buy yourself some tickets because this is one experience you don’t want to miss! We did this for date night and didn’t even need a sitter! Go get tickets now!!

Was fortunate enough to see this show in person at The Nomad a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was curious as to how it would compare in this age of Covid and via Zoom and was absolutely amazed at what a great experience it was the second time around! The whole experience was tailored to a remote viewing audience but it translated as uniquely astounding as if there in person. Would highly recommend either experience and look forward to seeing Dan again in the future.

The most fun we've had since quarantine started last year. From start to finish, Dan White is a consummate showman who somehow makes logging into a Zoom call on a Saturday night feel fun and exciting. The show left us absolutely stunned and we've already bought tickets for friends and family. This is a true must-see experience.

My performance was an on line Zoom audience. Dan White did an incredible job speaking as though it were direct with only us in spite of dozens in the virtual audience—very warm personal connection. We felt very much part of an intimate audience. He kept it moving briskly while still checking in plenty and never leaving anyone behind. Screen time was cleverly used to include lots of direct interactions with all and being able to often see audience reactions were a big part of the fun. Mr. White is a talented illusionist—I won’t give anything away here, but he did a great job incorporating lots of props, both ones sent in the mail in a sealed box and common very modern props everyone has these days. Thoroughly entertaining. Perfect date night at home in the crazy time.

This was an amazing online experience. It is very creative that the show is done on Zoom. It's a great show and interactive so it keeps everyone's attention. It's very nice that you get your own box of props in the mail and cannot open it until showtime. Very organized. Dan White is a formidable host and has a nice personality. Highly recommend this evening for all ages and occasions.

What a fabulous magical evening! Dan white was clever enough to create a wonderful virtual magic show that was as good as his performance at the Nomad Hotel. I loved that he mails everyone a black magic box that must sit unopened til the performance. The contents are all fun and mysterious, opened during the course of the evening. Dan is quite the Showman with an engaging personality and his magic is top notch!

The people sitting right behind you might not like it if they are unable to see. The show is in a very small room. Everyone sits very close to each other with small tables for drinks and snacks in between.
