Amanda Durnell: DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!! WARNING SCAM SCAM SCAMDavid has TONS of negative reviews on multiple platforms online.On Google, Yelp, and if you Scroll through the google reviews some are so buried in the bottom of the thread by what seems to be bogus reviews David Hersh has written for himself.One review page has 26 reviews that have been removed, ?One review states David impersonated a Sherif and called a client sending them and there family threats.Davids behavior is scary and he is clearly a BULLY. I am taking the time to write this review because I would like to spare others from this horrible experience.If you ask around the performance community in Raleigh and among other corporate event planners they all start there story of working with David as a total Nightmare. Other words that were used to describe David , Unstable, shady, " would never have my children around him"...I contracted David to perform roving magic at an corporate Gala event for 12/31/21 NYE in Raleigh and gave him a deposit to hold the day. David from the beginning of all documented communications was Pushy, rude, and seemed to talk in circles. David will tell you one thing and do what he wants. When you talk with David he will brag he has "32" employees, that have done thousands of events for him. Everything David will tell you is embellished and fabricated. David does not even follow the conversation in a linear way, he is all over the place.When I found out David was "subcontracting" the event with out informing me, We all collectively decided there were too many red flags with David and wanted to hire another performer with better credibility. David was unwilling to give me the legal name and photo or video of the other performer he was trying to sub contract in his place. Keep in mind David signed a contract with his NAME and him alone to perform at the event.When David did provide a photo of the "hobby" magician , and the "name" we could not find anything online about this fictional performer.We background check performers , industry standard for events, especially events where children will be present.When I told David he was in Breach of the contract he signed with us, and we wanted our deposit back, David sent Nasty texts and he kept our deposit.David then went online on Gig salad 1/1/21 at 1 am in the morning and left 5 bogus reviews badmouthing our company.I have been a creative director and corporate event manager for over 10 years, and I have NEVER encountered someone so UNPROFESSIONAL in my entire career. David Hersh Is a Bully, he is a con artist and He also has the free time to harass People after they find out who he really is.Do your home work, do not hire David.

Ryan Rodriguez: David did a great job. He even did an animal show for the kids as a bonus. It was a lot of fun.

Jack Fuller: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAll of the kids loved the performance. The magician was fun, engaging and very organized. Highly recommend!!!

Suzi Marsico: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI can't recommend this company enough! For starters, he was the ONLY rental business that I called that actually called me back. He was just awesome to work with and super helpful with explaining the details and giving our event suggestions on what would work perfectly! A+ service! A+ quality! I would highly recommend!

Edna Perry: Positive:Professionalism,ResponsivenessI am so pleased with my overall experience with Magic by David , from the transaction to the delivery, set up and pick up the entire staff was so friendly and professional. I 100 percent recommend this service. My event was A huge Success!!

Mandy Richardson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueDavid did my daughters 9th Birthday party and it was by far the BEST Birthday ever! He made her feel so special and memories that she will NEVER forget! I would absolutely recommend Magic by David!

Engin Arslan: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Karen Clark: Dropped off and picked up as promised and we didn't have to do anything. Big hit with the kids!!! They provided a tarp since it was supposed to rain. Would definitely rent from them again.

LaSaundra Booth: If I could give 10 stars to David I would. I booked a bounce house from another company two weeks earlier and they canceled on the day of my event. All my daughter wanted for her birthday was a bounce house. I called all over and no one could help me...but then I found Dave. David made it happen. By that evening my girls had a magic show and the next morning an even bigger bounce house! This was the best party ever! David will get my business from this point forward. He is prompt, his team is friendly, they have the coolest delivery vehicles, and they really care about quality service. I will book again and again and encourage all families and companies to do the same.
