Description
As seen on Fox 41's "In the Morning" with Keith Kaiser and WHAS 11's "Great Day Live!"
Darshwood the Conjurer is a vivaciously charismatic entertainer who, since a very young age, has been warming the hearts of audiences with his delightfully animated personality and outrageous assortment of witty antics. A genuinely unique practitioner of sleight of hand artistry, magic and hypnosis - Darshwood never fails to create an unforgettable experience of thrills and wonder with each and every single performance. Only a few minutes with this charming trickster provides an experience that will be talked about for years to come!
The grandson of a Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus clown and nephew to a grand stage illusionist, Darshwood claims to have been born to perform and continues to uphold the family tradition by sharing the joys of comedy and wonder with everyone he encounters. Calling himself a postmodern magician, Darshwood has diligently studied the ancient art of prestidigitation in hopes of inspiring contemporary audiences with a cutting edge technique and sophisticated presentation, making him a hero among peers and granting him active membership among two of the craft's most distinguished fraternal orders - The International Brotherhood of Magicians and The Society of American Magicians - who recently honored him with two consecutive People's Choice Awards for Close-up Magic. Having now incorporated the dramatically impactful elements of mind reading and hypnosis to his act, Darshwood not only spends a great deal of time performing but also shares his wisdom in the trade as a consultant for other professional magicians and speaks at scholastic institutions about the relation between psychology and the alluring art of conjuring by exposing the mind's natural tendency to be fooled by illusion. He recently appeared as an honorary delegate for the United States at INDIA Jaal, a national conference of magicians at Asia's very first Academy of Magical Sciences in Trivandrum, India.
Leo Weekly says: "A sleight of hand and a trick of the eye are all Darshwood needs to entertain you for hours... bringing clever trickery to the center stage."
"When you need an act that hits on all cylinders, Darshwood is the man! Incredible magic, intelligent humor, and creative thinking plots him above all the rest. A fantastic entertainer!" – Dennis Alm of Dennis Alm Productions, Talent Coordinator for Comedy Caravan
"Darshwood can walk into any room and within minutes have everyone in the palm of his hand. I know of no other magician who mixes business and pleasure with such natural ease." – Matthew Landan, proprietor of Derby City Espresso
"Great show!" – Dr. Robert Escher, former president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians

Feedback
- Entire experience was very positive. The performer arrived on time and did the set up without any problems. Children and adult everyone was very amused and had a fun time. Great Job with all the tricks. They were captivating and interesting. He was very patient with the kids who were jumping on top of him the whole time. I would certainly hire him again for another event. -- Beenish C, Bloomington, IN, 9/13/2009
- We hired Darshwood for our company's annual awards banquet. This guy was absolutely amazing!!! I have seen plenty of magic on TV but nothing compares to the things Darshwood was able to do right in front of us at the table. I have no idea how he was able to get the card I put my own signature on inside his shoe. I'll be freaking out over that for a very long time! I never took my eyes off of his hands! He even had the courtesy of spraying it off with sanitizer and bagging it up before handing it to me as a souvenir.
We will definitely be hiring Darshwood again next year. I highly recommend him! Very professional and very entertaining!

- Having Darshwood the Conjurer at this event took it from being ordinary to extraordinary. I am so pleased that I did it. People are still talking about him. Darshwood was the consummate professional in every respect. He worked the crowd in the beginning, put on a fantastic show in the middle, and continued to entertain the guests afterwards which is exactly what I wanted.
I would highly recommend him to anyone considering having a magical entertainer at their special event! -- Jeff C, Bowling Green, KY, 1/2/2010
- We hosted a "kids reception" for a grown-ups only wedding and reception. Darshwood was very responsive when we were planning the event and I couldn't be happier at how it all turned out. The kids were so excited and enjoyed every moment of his show. He has a fantastic demeanor with kids. One of my grandkids now wants to learn magic! I am very happy with the whole experience and would recommend Darshwood to anyone planning an event. -- Suzanne B, Louisville, KY, 9/10/2011
- Texting from my phone....he did a good job. -- Robin H, Lexington, KY, 11/19/2011
