Description
Stormy, a.k.a. Dave Storms has been creating smiles and laughter for children and adults of all ages in and around West Michigan performing family magic at birthday parties, Libraries, School Assemblies, Scouting Blue and Gold Banquets, Preschools, Camps, Day Care Centers, Churches, Restaurants, and other gatherings.
Stormy also twists balloon animals for small gatherings or large corporate events.
Stormy's birthday parties are the best. Whether it's magic, balloons, or his new Weird Science program, the birthday child will be the star of the show and everyone will leave with a smile on their face, especially the host or hostess.
Stormy keeps audiences entertained from the moment he comes on stage to the final belly laugh. Stormy's shows are child focused, jam packed with lots of tricks and gags, include audience participation, and are filled with appropriate humor, which makes the children laugh as well as creates a smile on the adults.
Magic for Stormy is not about performing tricks. Stormy's magic is created by weaving stories, laughter, and tricks into a show that the audience will remember for a lifetime! Laughter is guaranteed.
Here's What People Say About Stormy.
Stormy the Magician is Fabulous! He provides fun and entertainment for all ages and has been asked to perform many times at our Winter Carnival, classroom parties, and other various school functions. Shows are built around specific themes or classroom curriculums and students are always excited to see him come. He even performs during staff development sessions tying his magic to the theme of the workshop. Students, parents, and staff will have a magical time with Stormy!
Amy Tebo. Principal for Star School, Hastings, MI.
From age four all the way up to adults, Stormy can entertain the best of them with his humor, excitement, and high audience involvement. Stormy's magic shows are perfect for birthday parties, social gatherings, special events and summer camps. With such a wide range of ages, Stormy is great at adjusting his show to fit best with each audience. His friendly demeanor is sure to attract an audience and his humor and mind blowing magic will keep this audience's coming back for more.
Kathryn Safie: Summer Program Director for YMCA Camp Algonquin.
Stormy was one of the best entertainment acts our church has ever had for our annual harvest dinner. He has the great ability to involve both the young and the old and to keep the audience attention from start to finish. He also brought a very nice Christmas message into his act. We hope to have him back.
Larry Neil: Hastings Free Methodist Church
David Cooperfield. I mean Stormy. Awesome! Fabulous! Funny! Perfect! What else can I say but thanks!
Bonnie Hildreth: Barry Community Foundation President
My sincere thanks for an out of this world magic performance at my Ladies Only Valentine Luncheon! Who but Stormy could cause a crowd of 124 women to roar with laughter by mixing magic and investments? You certainly surprised me totally by catering your show to fit the audience. My clients will never look at their investments or magic the same again.
Mark Christensen: Financial Advisor, Edward Jones
I can't remember when we old folks laughed so much. Your personality really sparkled. Everyone enjoyed it more than words can express. You are so talented. You are a class act.
Keystone Class of the First Methodist Church of Akron, Ohio
Great show! Best we?ve booked in years!
Nyal Heusley, Children?s Librarian Saugatuck-Douglas District Library
You brought in the most children of all the programs!
Colleen Aslakson, Hesperia Community Library
Huge thanks! All the children continue to discuss their awesome birthday party and great time! One for the books, for certain. We parents dream for such wonderful experiences for our children which mean the world to us because of what it especially means to our children! I can't thank you enough for how well you focused on both of the birthday children and on their families too. All were happy!
The Bentti Family
Stormy is a wonderful entertainer for all ages. He has performed at our church's family retreat for several years. Each year we have many requests for Stormy's magic shows. We love the fact that Stormy performs magic tricks using very funny props while providing several groaner jokes for the adults!
Beth Pascoe, First United Methodist Church of Ann Arbor.
Stormy is great with all age groups and I love his flexibility!
Kat Smith Green Gables Haven, Hastings, Mi.
Thank you for your Christian influence on the children since most of our children come from unchurched homes.
Jeannie Service, Grace Wesleyan Church, Hastings, MI
Stormy you are able to capture kids attention and hold it! You involve them in your act and you interact so well!
Carolyn Mayhew, Lake Odessa Kiwanis
Stormy is very engaging and enthusiastic. The children related to him and his tricks were awesome!
Judi Yost, St. Elias Church, Athens, Michigan.
This was a great event! Showing Science in this form is fun and makes children excited about learning science. I am glad my son was able to attend this event because when it was over he said, "I like science!"
Scott Hawkins, Youth Program Manager, Gilda's Club, Grand Rapids, MI
High Energy. Dynamic. Captivated the audience(kids and parents alike!) Dave Storms gave every ounce of himself to bring joy to his audience. This is my 9th year planning this Halloween Party and I book entertainment every year. I have yet to see a performer give so much to his audience and be so well received. Thank you Stormy for being the highlight of our Party!

Feedback
- All I can say is "WOW". Stormy's show was excellent. He customized his show around our Cub Scout pack meeting. He had scout theme props even. The boys (and parents) really enjoyed the show. He had the Cub Scouts participate in many of the magic tricks and they just loved that. I would highly recommend booking Stormy for your next event. Oh yeah, the balloon tying was a BIG hit too. Thanks Stormy for a wonderful experience. -- Michelle S, Portland, MI, 11/10/2009
- He was very professional and willing to accomodate our needs for the event. I will be reccommendng him to other Jellystone Parks. -- Sherrill C, Fremont, IN, 7/18/2009
