Happy Summer! It is another busy July and August. Besides running around to gigs, I have recently started my new vintage-style

But first, allow me to dazzle you with a feat of prestidigikoo… prestiwichita… SLEIGHT OF HAND! Guaranteed to amaze amuse confound and confuse…”
Wild Balloons
Dave was one of the first balloon twisters in Canada and still going strong. He twisted his first balloon creation in 1984 and became a full time etertainer just a couple of years later. Dave specializes in balloons, magic, juggling and comedy. Most of his these days time is spent at festivals or parties or restaurants with a big crowd of kids watcing Dave make the most beautiful balloon sculptures they have ever seen.
Copperpot Kidshows
Dave has dressed up for many years as the befuddled Professor Cornelius Copperpot during his Family Comedy Show. The absent-minded and generally confused Professor Copperpot constantly needs help and direction from the kids to ever hope of making any magic happen! Librarys, Community Centers, City Parks, and Shoping Centers were all regular places for “Copperpot” special events.

Dave’s shows are a great mix of magic, juggling, comedy and good old tyme ballyhoo. A favorite past character of his was “Cornelius Copperpot”, but Dave focuses today on his Old Tyme Magic Show, Balloon Twisting, and Strolling Close-up Magic.

“We come every year to see Dave’s wonderful show. My kids have been up to help him with magic tricks three or four times and still want to come back every time we visit PG.”
My daughter still talks about the bunny peeking out of the hat trick. I have never heard her laugh so much. Thank you again for your patience aftwerwards while doing balloons for everyone.
Thank you again for a great show and for stretching at the end until Santa showed up. We would like to book you for our party again next year. It will be the same weekend in December. ”
