The Experience

Discover Bay Area Dinner Show, a distinctive world-class magical experience. Dan Chan, “The Millionaires’ Mentalist,” astounds audiences ubiquitously with his experiential, legendary magic and a meal.

Close-up magic happens in the bar when you arrive. Then we move to the wine room and followed by an exquisite dinner. For private events we have other partner venues, including a bank vault that has been transformed into a restaurant.

Find out why Dan is “Silicon Valley’s Favorite Magician” and has been dubbed the “Billionaire’s Magician” by Business Insider.

Dan has been secretly working on Bay Area Dinner Show for many years. Dan rarely displayed the routines you will see at his dinner show, as these routines are best showcased in a controlled theatrical environment. “When working at private parties there were always unknown elements and other problems. With all these venues, I’ve selected routines that fit the venue. I love creating bespoke experiences.” His secretive nature surrounding these prized effects made these pieces a recherche sighting. He jealously guarded these secrets and only displayed them at only at the most distinguished events. These intimate close-up miracles were at times witnessed only by the elite at the most influential events he’s been called to perform at. As a result, many have thought these feats were only myths. As a result, these moments became legendary.

Bay Area Dinner Show is an innovative concept, bridging world-class entertainment in an intimate setting.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Dan Chan later developed an appreciation of fine dining. After dining at many of the Michelin star restaurants worldwide, including Manresa, COMMIS, Chez TJ, Plumed Horse, Spruce, T’ang Court, Jean-Georges, and the Village Pub, Dan decided to merge a high-end fine dining experience with entertainment Dan staged at Michelin-rated venues. He has staged at Petit Crenn, Lazy Bear, COI, and Californios.

Realizing that his entertainment did not fit these venues, he created a new show that would fit into existing venues. This new show could blend seamlessly into the current venues of the most popular fine dining environments.

As a result of this unique understanding and vision, Dan created customized intimate shows for his high-profile clients at Nisei, the Plumed Horse, E & O, Micheal Mina’s Arcadia, and many other venues.

Dan’s vision is to eventually merge what he’s learned from his experience in fine dining to create a once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Some Frequently Asked Questions

A once in a lifetime experience, Really?

When you watch magic, it’s often spoiled the next time you see the effect. You know what to expect. That’s why a magician will only show a trick once. The first time it’s magic; the second time, it’s education, and education costs a lot.

The surprise of magic is what makes magic powerful. We designed the show to be encountered only once. We’ll allow you to experience the newest iteration when the performance changes. Please only purchase a ticket once the experience changes. Dan is prolific in his repertoire and carries a second show, a “B” show, and may change the show, even mid-show, if he remembers a face, and it will ruin the experience for the rest of the people attending.

What's the experience like?

Dan specializes in creating custom experiences and the show is constantly evolving. There are a few “show formats” depending on the venue we’re partnering with at the time. Currently at Californios we start off with a show in the wine room. In other venues, as you arrive, your guests will be greeted with world class close up magic usually after dinner a more formal show will be presented.

How is this show different?

Close-up magic is meant to be seen close-up not on a screen. Most recently I saw a famous magician in Las Vegas do his “Vegas show” I was sitting in the back of the theater watching him perform close-up magic on a screen and much of it was what he did on Youtube. Many magic enthusiasts have remarked after seeing the show its one of the best close-up magic shows they’ve ever seen.
