Magic is often seen as an inexplicable and mystical force that defies the laws of nature. It has long fascinated humans, sparking their curiosity and imagination. From ancient times to modern days, magic has been portrayed in various forms, ranging from powerful sorcery and wizardry to illusionary tricks performed by magicians. One interpretation of magic lies in its ability to create wonder and awe in people's lives. It brings a sense of enchantment, allowing individuals to experience something beyond the ordinary. Whether through theatrical performances or supernatural phenomena, magic captivates audiences and transports them to a realm where anything is possible.

Los Angeles Corporate Entertainment
Our Magic & Wine event is attracting a lot of corporate groups lately. It has become the #2 attraction in Los Angeles on Tripadvisor.com, and we’ve had many corporate groups contact us to book private events.
The new venue in Hollywood is spectacular. Bardot is located inside the historic Avalon theater. It’s a hidden speakeasy that creates the perfect ambiance for magic. We recently hosted an event for Intel to introduce their newest version of Windows.
The structure of the event allows for some mingling and speaking about a product. The first hour is essentially a cocktail party, with hors d’oeuvres and a flight of four wines. It’s a good opportunity to address the group and get some messaging across to them.
Then, everyone moves into the theater for a 90-minute show. There is a 15-minute intermission in the show, which provides another opportunity to mingle.
If you’d like to book a corporate group Magic and Wine event at our venue, please email us.

Los Angeles Corporate Entertainment
Planning a corporate event in Los Angeles? Need some entertainment for your VIP clients?
You won’t find a better event than the “Evening of Enchantment”.
This past month a number of corporate groups have come to our event in Malibu. The unanimous feedback we received was that it had exceeded their greatest expectations.
The Evening of Enchantment is perfect for corporate entertainment. Normally, a corporate group will take a limo or large bus to the event. They drive up the coast to the stunning Beau Rivage, with its ocean views and full bloom of flowers.
They begin upstairs in the tower room with the wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres. Then the group moves into the wine cellar for the magic show, and finally into the dining room for dinner.
From beginning to end, it is a fun and relaxing way to enjoy an evening together, with plenty of time to chat along the way. It is the ultimate in Los Angeles corporate entertainment.
Here’s what one of our recent corporate clients said about the event:
“David Minkin’s Evening of Enchantment was an absolutely awesome event for us at our company’s event. The food, wine and setting for both the dinner and magic show were perfect. It was truly a special event.” – Bill E., Skyline Financial

The evening will be unlike any corporate entertainment you’ve ever experienced!

Whether through theatrical performances or supernatural phenomena, magic captivates audiences and transports them to a realm where anything is possible. This ability to evoke emotions and amazement is one of the reasons why magic continues to be popular today. Moreover, magic often challenges the boundaries of what is considered possible or rational.

Magic Show in Los Angeles
October 20, 2011
My Los Angeles magic show, “Evening of Enchantment” has now been running for nearly 4 years straight. That’s a long time for a one-man magic show. To give you perspective, Lance Burton’s show recently ended after a 14 year run in Vegas.
Los Angeles is a great place to have a show. There are so many people here in need of entertainment. It’s not like Vegas, but the good news is… It’s not like Vegas. The audiences in my shows are usually filled with local people from Los Angeles, as opposed to tourists just passing through and looking for magic shows. That allows me to create more of a local buzz.
Recently, the Shore Hotel in Santa Monica approached me about doing my magic show there. It’s in a part of L.A. known as the west side, and they feel the community would embrace a regular magic show at the Shore. I’m looking forward to performing the show there this month.
Another venue that’s ideal for a magic show in Los Angeles is the Montage Beverly Hills. They just opened a private lounge known as “Ten Pound”. We are close to a deal there as well. Thanks to my new publicist, Michelle, at least three venues will soon be featuring my magic show in Los Angeles. I’ll be performing in Malibu, Santa Monica, and soon… Beverly Hills.
I hope to see you at a show soon!

We are now well into our fourth year with the Evening of Enchantment. Not only is the event the longest running magic show in Los Angeles, it’s also the #1 rated attraction in Malibu, California on TripAdvisor.com.
We have 22 reviews, and every one of them is five stars! In fact, the show is ranked ahead of the beach!
So, buzz and word of mouth have spread about the magic show, and people in Los Angeles are showing up in droves. We are looking at adding several new venues in L.A. and Orange County, plus a dinner cruise out of Marina Del Rey.
I’m thrilled that things are suddenly going so well.
For next week’s show, we have Eye on LA coming to feature our event under Romantic Things To Do In LA.
Celebrities are showing up as well. A few weeks back, Josh Groban came to the show, and Trey Parker and Seth Rogan have recently expressed interest in coming.
Overall, I’m pleased with the momentum and expect this to be our best year yet.

It’s been a long time since I blogged about the show. So, here is the a quick update. The Malibu venue burned down in 2012. It was a difficult time for everyone who had grown to love the place. I had tickets to my magic show sold through August and had to scramble to find an alternate venue for those shows.
Luckily, I eventually worked a deal out with a stunning venue in Hollywood, CA called Bardot inside the Avalon Theater. It’s a historic building with incredible ambiance for magic.
I’ve now been doing the show there for about 15 months, and it has been a blessing. Every single event is completely sold out, and I’ve been able to increase the show’s capacity to 60 people, nearly twice the Malibu venue.
Apparently there is a huge demand for magic shows in Los Angeles, because in addition to the Magic Castle having their busiest year ever, tickets to my show are usually sold out a week in advance.
So, thank you all for your continued support and I look forward to many more performances to come in Hollywood.

Timeless: My New Show In Los Angeles
I’m so excited to announce that after 13 years of shows in Los Angeles under the branding of “Magic And Wine”, I now have a new, second experience to offer those of you in LA. My Magic And Wine shows will continue in Orange County, but I’ll also be performing at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Thematically, the show is heavily centered around the concept of time, with a special emphasis given to magic effects and narratives in that realm. It features some new, never before performed pieces and some of the classics reconfigured into a whole new show. Below is the official description:
“An evening of timeless magic inside a historic downtown hotel, this show combines the incredible and iconic history of the Millennium Biltmore Hotel with the breathtaking magic of International Champion Of Magic, David Minkin.
You’ll move forward and backward through time during this 90 minute performance, while experiencing some of the world’s finest close-up magic.
This new show features authentic stories from David’s life, metaphorically represented by incredible moments of magic, like only David can create.
Join us at the world famous Millennium Biltmore Hotel for an experience that is “Timeless”.”March 6, 2020 at 10:15 pm
It opens up a realm of possibilities, where the impossible becomes possible. This aspect of magic can be seen in fictional works such as fantasy novels and movies, where magical elements play a central role in shaping the narrative. In these stories, magic becomes a tool for characters to accomplish extraordinary feats or overcome obstacles. But magic is not solely confined to the realm of fiction. In some cultures, magic is deeply rooted in their belief systems and is practiced as a form of spirituality or healing. Practices such as witchcraft, shamanism, and various forms of spiritual rituals are all associated with the belief in the power of magic. These practices often involve invoking supernatural forces or tapping into unseen realms to achieve a desired outcome. Despite its enduring appeal, magic is often met with skepticism and debunked as mere trickery or sleight of hand. Skeptics argue that the illusions created by magicians are nothing more than clever manipulation and misdirection. They believe that there is a logical explanation behind every magical trick and that it can be deciphered by careful observation and analysis. In conclusion, magic continues to hold a unique place in human society. It brings wonder and awe to our lives, challenges our perception of what is possible, and in some cases, serves as a form of spiritual practice. While it may be debated whether magic is truly supernatural or a result of skillful trickery, its enchanting qualities and enduring popularity cannot be denied..
Reviews for "Magic Across Cultures: How Different Countries Practice and Interpret Magic"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I found "Magic is Moist" to be a rather disappointing read. The pacing was extremely slow and the story lacked depth. The characters were one-dimensional and I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them. Furthermore, the magic system felt poorly developed and inconsistent. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging fantasy read.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "Magic is Moist" was one of the most underwhelming books I've ever read. The plot was convoluted and confusing, making it difficult to follow what was happening. The writing style was also quite dull, lacking any sort of originality or creativity. The characters were uninteresting and I didn't feel any connection to them. I struggled to finish this book and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Magic is Moist" but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The world-building was shallow and the magic system was poorly explained. The dialogue between characters felt forced and unnatural. The plot meandered without clear direction, leaving me feeling bored and uninterested. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would advise others to look elsewhere for a captivating fantasy read.
