This David was an actor before he was a magician.That opens up a whole series of new possibilities for blending performance magic with characters, as you can tell by the spiffy picture to the left. He does balloon animals too...

Add comedy to the package and the result is something unforgettable. David has played to the same audience several times without them even suspecting he's the same guy. Cool, huh?

So prepare to meet the family: Max, Slick...and Sid. Each one is a completely different act from the others. But they're all David Thiel.

Max Mysterio: One of the most entertaining family stage performers in Western Canada. No question. Max does a rare kind of magic trick: he entertains adults. He entertains children. He even entertains LITTLE children with a memory making blend of comedy and magic. Things fall apart, pictures come to life and start talking to the audience, rubber chickens appear out of thin air! Guaranteed laughter...and full throttle fun. You'll be surprised...you'll laugh...and you'll KNOW you made the right decision from the instant David hits the stage in his Max Mysterio personae.

Slick Coalton: A Riverboat Gambler with a well cultivated sense of mischief and fun...who shares the kind of card effects you've only dreamed about seeing. Watch the cards tumble invisibly through the air and then appear face down inside a closed card pack! You'll be astounded as you watch images appear where they...weren't...a few seconds ago. Slick specializes in doing unforgettable re-creations of authentic card swindles from the turn of the century to today. (Without the money changing hands, getting beaten up and then run out of town on a rail part...) See? It's educational too!

Slick wears a table that attaches to his body to ensure he's ready to wow your group anywhere...any time. This character was designed for walkabout exhibition and fair entertainment, trade shows -- anywhere people will stand still long enough to have their world rocked by something that just...well...couldn't happen. (When asked VERY nicely, he's also been known to do one of his "original thinkin'" balloon animals as well...)

Sid Greenblatt: A little old Jewish guy. He's cranky...he's funny...and he WILL read your mind. From his "Incredible Box...hand made by machines in Taiwan" to his ability to SHOW you the ONE invisible card you tossed into the air, Sid is the perfect antidote for groups that are tired of the "basic" magician. An excellent option for hospitality suites and parlour (small group) close-up magic.

Convention and exhibition clients can book ALL THREE acts over the space of a day. Imagine that: THREE entertainers. ONE travel fee.

All together now: "Ooooooooooooo."
