David discovered that he was a magician at the age of seven, and has since spent over 20 years trying to figure out just what that means. He has created five original theatrical magic productions including Cerebral Sorcery, ...Art of Dreams and The Creative Spirit Seance, and authored eight manuscripts related to magic and illusion, including Daydreams, Borderland State, and Imagining the Imagination. He regularly performs his unique style of magic at theaters, museums, galleries, festivals, and private events, and has presented his shows, workshops and lectures throughout the United States.

Magic & Surrealism
David believes that Magic and Magic Tricks, are two very different things. This workshop will explore both. Through a crash course in illusion, we will examine how we interact with reality. We will then turn our attention to surrealism, learn and play several surrealist games, and finally, we will explore the intersection of magic and surrealism. You will go home with many more questions than you came in with, as well as several tricks and surrealist games to bring with you into the world.
