TESTIMONIALS

“Everyone knows that Dave is a legend, but it's in one-on-one sessions that his true genius becomes apparent. After only a few lessons, I have grown more as a magician than I had in the last ten years combined—no exaggeration. Whether you're working on individual sleights, full routines, or putting together a full show, you sincerely can't do better than studying with perhaps the finest living performer and teacher of magic.

(He's not charging nearly enough — hurry before he figures it out!)”

Rick Rea

“Get a Lesson, it’s the best value in Magic. Dave is an open book—and that’s a world-class book of Experience and Chops. He helped me with basic and expert Sleights, and introduced Tricks while polished up others. And there’s so much more that comes with a lesson...  Give Dave a try and thank me later.”

Rick Cavaliere

“You had me at Williamson. I'm a late starter to magic, 55 years old. David has been awesome, starting me on a great journey. The lessons are recorded for you so you can rewatch! You can message, share other videos, scripts and ideas. He has three cameras views, so you see all the secret stuff. I like the magicians point of view. You are going to have fun! Magic, stories, shenanigans. Need new ideas for your tricks, Dave is the man! And his ideas kill!”

Jim Browne

“I wish I could say that studying magic with David Williamson was a lifelong goal, but in fact I had never thought that I would have a chance to meet him, let alone study with him. Now suddenly, it’s not only a possibility but a reality, and it’s just the greatest. He has been telling me all the things that are starting to take my magic to the next level. It doesn’t matter what the subject is-sleights, presentation, theory-Dave is the perfect guide for every aspect of magic. He will help you to make yourself into the best performer that you can be. He’s a truly great magician and teacher.
Don’t miss this opportunity!”

Steve Flanter

“Learning from David is not just about sleight mechanics.  He teaches the whole package on how to make "trick" into riveting entertainment.  A session becomes a complete lesson on how to entertain and perform.  He has breathed new life into an effect I have been working on for 3 years.  His experience on what is effective entertainment and what doesn't work is invaluable. He teaches performance not just mechanics and that only comes for years of hard won experience.   His instruction is a bargain that is worth multiples of your investment.”

Roy McBrayer

“I felt like Moses talking to God… I had a private lesson recently, I wanted help with adding something special to my stage show and WOW did David deliver. We talked through my act and then tweaked the effects, worked on different handling and now I feel my show has gone to the next level. Don't miss out on being able to get advice from the very best.”

Andrew Dean

“Learning from David Williamson is so much more than just studying tricks. Great advice, great wisdom, highly recommended.”

Shoot Ogawa

“Signing up for lessons with Dave has been the most rewarding purchase I’ve ever made in my career. I'm able to break down my routines and see from the best what works and what can change. Not only that, Dave shares his stories, experiences and advice that made him into the performer he is so generously.

After my last lesson, Dave sent me some additional resources on his fantastic website, which also has an idea board for the lessons as well as tons of additional material like the Sleight School Boot Camp! I’m honestly beyond grateful for these lessons, Dave really does care and puts 110% into it!”

Aaron Farberman

“Because theaters worldwide have closed, today's greatest magician is home and accessible to you online. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the best in the business - take advantage of it before he goes back on tour.

Whether you're starting from scratch or fine-tuning a professional performance, David Williamson will make you better and you'll make a great new friend in the process.”

Steve Weissblum

“Did I ever think I would take lessons from David Williamson? Not ever. Why? I didn’t know him. I had never even seen him in person. And, why would David, a true giant in the world of magic, take time from his schedule to teach me? Then, the coronavirus did me a favor. David Williamson was welcoming new students.

 Doubting myself and my decision to approach such a master as our first lesson approached, David set me at ease from the initial moment we spoke. Obviously, his knowledge and skill are endless.  He sees things others don’t.  His insights are incredible. His suggestions and tips are spot on. Mostly, David makes me feel like a friend while helping me become a better magician. What more could one ask for?

 My suggestion if you’re questioning whether to seek him out? Do it and do it now.”

Dean Quinn

“Dave is the best! His depth of knowledge and experience is unparalleled, but he would never tell you that, so I will. As if the opportunity to learn from and develop ideas with Dave, weren’t enough, the set up on his site is pretty stellar too! Each lesson is recorded and you get your own private page to review all lessons at your leisure.

He also includes downloads of his previously released DVD’s, an ever evolving Sleight Boot Camp video series of his go to sleights, a Facebook page for Sleight Club Members (that includes a monthly Jam Session), a Dropbox Paper set up to communicate ongoing ideas. I mean seriously?!?! I’d be happy just to get his advice scribbled on a napkin, but he has truly gone above and beyond to give his students the best possible learning experience.

Dave is a true master and I’m thankful for the opportunity to study with him. Oh, and we have a lot of fun! Such a good hang with lots of stories. Is that good Dave? I tried to write the script you sent me in my own words but yours were just so perfect. Just kidding. Am I? Take a lesson with Dave and find out for yourself.”

Mike Meadows

“When I heard Dave was available for  one on one lessons for the cost of a typical lecture I signed up immediately, as it seemed too good to be true.  Who wouldn't want to spend an hour getting to know one of their idols and learning a few things?  As the time got closer, I did find myself getting nervous.. I had been out of magic for some time, was very rusty, and didn't know  exactly what to ask.

He put me at ease immediately and the time flew by.  Dave is very generous with his knowledge and I came away with more than a few effects that were exactly what I was seeking..  All in all, a memorable experience that I'm looking forward to repeating soon..

In addition, I appreciate how much effort he's put into supplementing his teaching through  social media at no added expense to his students. And lastly, this would be a wonderful experience to share -it would make a great gift!”

Alan Levin

“We all know David Williamson as a master artist. I’ve found that he is also a master teacher. After retiring a few years ago, I wanted to learn the moves and sleights I’d read about over the years. On my own, progress was slow because I couldn’t identify my mistakes, much less correct them.

Working with Dave has helped me appreciate the small – and large – points I had missed in my earlier reading. On a Zoom video, he can see problems instantly and then show how to fix them. He stays fully engaged even as you keep repeating your worst mistakes, and is generous with his time, expertise, study materials, and encouragement.

His support and good humor make the sessions as enjoyable as they are rewarding, and he records them for you to review as needed. Even at my age, I’m learning more than I ever dared imagine.”

Jay Burke

“What an incredible resource!!  It's like having a live encyclopedia of comedy at your disposal!  Definitely worth every penny.  I can't wait until this stupid pandemic is over so we can put into practice all the insights David has given us.  Our highest recommendation!”

Scott Nelson

“I have really benefited from working with David Williamson. As a professional artist and performer I know the value of strong mentorship, while as a magician I naturally want to work with the best. It's been a wonderful opportunity and  I cannot recommend the experience enough.”

Tim Bromage

“David Williamson is not only one of the best in the world he’s also a good teacher. He’s experienced in sleights, routining, working for small or huge audiences and in front of TV or not.  Thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny.  One session saved me years of struggle.”

Danny Jurrman

“They say you should never meet you heroes… Well that saying certainly does not apply to David. Meeting him was just as amazing and as eye-opening as one would imagine. I really enjoyed my time with him and I learned so much! He pointed me into totally new directions and inspired me in so many ways! I am looking forward to taking much more lessons from him in the future. I think every magician in the world should jump on this amazing opportunity.”

Semjon Sidanov

“I have had a couple of private sessions with David Williamson.  I can say it will be one of the best investments you make in your journey through the Magical Arts.  He is very down to earth and an all around nice guy, which makes you feel relaxed, which in turn makes learning all that much easier. Dave has this unique ability to make you feel like you're the most important student he has. I cannot recommend him enough. One of the smartest things I have done for my magic education.”

Timothy Cook

“I signed up to work with Dave because I wanted to improve the presentation of a few of my regular tricks. It was one of the best investments in magic I have made. I wanted to add more humor and more of Dave’s sensibilities. I sent Dave the initial scripts ahead of time, and he came prepared with some great ideas. And ever since then, I’ve been having great success with my new presentations. In addition, Dave had some great performing advice that was directly applicable to me, and he was very open with his knowledge and experiences during our conversation."
