descriptions of magical services

About David London: David London combines magic with storytelling, puppetry, comedy, and
that which cannot be defined to create original shows of magic unlike you have ever
experienced before.
David discovered that he was a magician at the age of seven. In his nearly 25 year quest to
understand just what that means, he had created five original theatrical magic productions,
including Cerebral Sorcery, …Art of Dreams, The Imagination Show and (insert title here), as
well authored eight manuscripts related to magic and illusion, including Daydreams,
Borderland State, and Imagining the Imagination.
David regularly performs his unique style of magic at theaters, museums, galleries, festivals, and private events, and
has presented his shows, workshops and lectures across the United States. DESCRIPTIONSOFMAGICALSERVICES

divination techniques.
