In this magical conversation, David reveals the inspiration behind The Magicians Room—developed by Damian Costa—and what makes this intimate venue so unique. He also shares how speaking seven languages helps him connect with audiences (though English has become his favorite), and why passion and responsibility drive every performance.

David opens up about his signature illusion, “The Puzzle of Life,” and the art of setting the right tone onstage—by first learning to truly listen. You’ll hear stories of remarkable people he’s met after shows, his first meeting (and lasting friendship) with Siegfried, and a memorable encounter with David Copperfield.

Plus, he talks about being embraced by Las Vegas’s tight-knit magic community, why there are no days off in show business, and how he keeps his act fresh with brand-new material—all while keeping the focus squarely on you, the audience.

David Goldrake is known as the “International Man of Mystery.” His artistic versatility and ability to speak 7 languages fluently make him a unique magician, speaker and actor who has inspired audiences all over the world.

David has performed for royalty, international celebrities and fortune 500 companies such as Berkshire Hathaway, Samsung Electronics, J.P. Morgan Chase and Disney. His performing venues have ranged from the Moroccan desert to the world's largest indoor stage at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV.

In addition to his regular performances at the renowned Magic Castle in Hollywood, David has presented his full-evening stand up shows and grand illusion spectacles to standing ovations in more than 20 countries. 

In 2010 he was awarded the coveted Mandrake d’Or’ award and in 2015 he was awarded the world famous 'Merlin Award' as ‘Best European Illusionist 2015', ranking him alongside names such as David Copperfield and Siegfried & Roy.

David is also dedicated to numerous philanthropic projects. For him 'giving back' is a responsibility. He uses his energy to support several organizations and plays an active role in raising awareness of them.

David unites the ancient traditions of the magical arts with his own modern style and thereby creates unique marvels in a new dimension.
