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.

Valentine's Day Dinner in San Francisco - Magic and Dinner Show

Experience a revolutionary concept in entertainment with the Bay Area Dinner Show – an intimate blend of world-class entertainment and fine dining.

Growing up in San Francisco, Dan Chan developed a passion for fine dining and has since dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants across the globe, including Manresa, COMMIS, Chez TJ, Plumed Horse, Spruce, T’ang Court, Jean-Georges, and the Village Pub. Drawing from his experience of staging entertainment at Michelin-rated venues such as Petit Crenn, Lazy Bear, COI, and Californios, Dan recognized that his entertainment did not always fit within these venues.

To bridge this gap, Dan created a new show that seamlessly blends with the most popular fine dining environments. He has since customized intimate shows for high-profile clients at Nisei, the Plumed Horse, E & O, Michael Mina’s Arcadia, and other prestigious venues.

Dan’s ultimate vision is to merge his experience in fine dining with entertainment to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With the Bay Area Dinner Show, Dan has created a unique and unforgettable dining and entertainment experience.

Some Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

Business Insider called Dan The Magician to Billionaires.

Buzzfeed featured Dan Chan calling him Silicon Valley’s Favorite Magician.
