Fab time for hobby's birthday. Magic keeps you entertained with a different types of shows. Something for everyone. Service was amazing. Had to get a refund for a member of our part who came down with Covid and it was handled perfectly.

Just participated in one of Dan's shows over Zoom which I'm not crazy about but Dan did a fantastic job. He had a mix of closeup magic with cards, cellphones, and audience participation. He also had a levitation trick which was pretty cool. Really enjoyed the show and so did the rest of our group consisting of ages 5 to 95 (literally, it was a 95th Birthday celebration) His son James is also a great performer.

My group had a fabulous time and were completely amazed by the show that Daniel Chan performed. Most of my friends had never seen a live magic show, and were blown away by what Daniel showed us. I loved the interaction and that it was an intimate show rather than just performed in front of us on a stage. I would definitely recommend to those looking for a fun time in San Francisco.

Looking for a fun night out? Look no further than wherever Dan Chan happens to be performing. I was looking for something fun to do on a Friday night after dinner, happen to find this magic show taking place in a Korean BBQ restaurant, of course thought "WTF a magic show taking place in a Korean BBQ restaurant?" but decided to take a chance. It proved to be a very wise decision and the best $xx I've spent on entertainment in a long time. Dan Chan's magic shows are great for date nights, birthdays, group outings, or really any occasion where you're looking for about an hour of having your mind blown. I know he also does private events (corporate events, parties, etc.) and if the occasion ever calls for it, I wouldn't think twice about hiring him. Check him out. Google, YouTube, his website, and of course at K-Elements BBQ which is where I had the pleasure of witnessing Dan's magic.

Have you ever watched one of those YouTube videos of a magician and they do a trick and people freak out? This was the reaction of my coworkers during our company party when Dan and his family did tricks. I cannot say enough good things about then. I saw Dan for the first time years and years ago at the Sunnyvale library. When my boss asked if we could have a magician for our summer party i knew exactly who to call. Dan and his kids entertained 900 people at my company party with a show and close up magic, while his wife dazzled the kids with her balloon twisting skills. We got such great feedback. The Chans are not only talented, they're super professional, and friendly. If you are looking to add some entertainment to your next event give Dan a call.

This is a must do for anyone who is bored of magic shows where you just sit down and watch. Dan does the magic with you rather than for you and his magic absolutely blew my mind! Highly recommended, you'll be delighted and amazed!

Seeing Dan's close-up magic is such a treat! It's truly close-up and intimate. And Dan's 11-year old son, James, just added to the magic. We're still scratching our heads over how they could do the tricks when we were standing directly in front of them. A special experience.

DEAL: Join their mailing list to book a deal directly on their website. When you arrive they might offer you VIP seating with a shot glass gift if you didn't already purchase it beforehand. They didn't volunteer the information about how many rows there are so be sure to ask how many rows there are because we were about to pay extra, but there were only going to be maybe 6-7 rows so we didn't mind not sitting up front. Maybe if it was 20 rows then I would have upgraded and paid extra. It also depends on which room they use so sometimes they don't know yet how many rows they will have. Even if you don't sit up front you still might be picked to partake in the show, but no guarantees. OVERALL: I recommend this dinner and magic show as a different activity from a boring night at a restaurant and the movies. The dinner reminded me of a full course Chinese dinner like what you would order banquet style. I thought the food was tasty and enough portions to where there were very little leftover. They played music during dinner which made it nice. I thought we would be eating dinner and watching a magic show at the same time, but you eat dinner first then go to a different room to watch the show. DETAILS: they do magic at the table as you're waiting for dinner. Check in is in the back private rooms. I think it's worth arriving on time to see the table magic. Dan had his son there who was a cute kid and talented. He did magic too. I didn't mind it being like a family affair it made it more sincere and genuine. Dan and his son even sat at our table and ate dinner. You are sitting with people you don't know who bought tickets for the show. Dress isn't formal I'd say semi formal is good or even business casual you would fit in just fine. There was a couple here that had attended the dinner and show 3 times. Dan asked them which show they saw so he could try to make sure he did magic they hadn't seen before. I thought that was considerate of him and probably why they keep coming back. LOCATION: they have the Cupertino location in Vallco mall or the Oakland location in downtown Chinatown area. We went to the Cupertino one. PARK: Outside parking in the parking structure behind what used to be TGI Fridays, but is now some kind of sports grill lounge bar. Then you walk toward the main street past the back of the restaurant under the overpass to get to the entrance of the restaurant. Kind of smells because of the dumper trash area though.

I wasnt sure what to expect from this but I gave it a chance because I thought this would be something my parents would like. They speak very limited English so even though the entire show was spoken in English, it didnt take away from the awesome trick and show. There were some parts that if you didnt understand English, you would be derping pretty hard but that is just the way it goes. I got two groupon deals for $115 a pair and I guess it is usually $100 a person for dinner and the show. You can have the option to buy just the show but there is no groupon for that. Once you have the groupon, you make the reservation online and type in those groupon codes so you end up paying $0 then and just bringing in your groupon the day of. This was held in one of the private rooms in Dynasty and there were roughly 40 people total. Come in before dinner starts at 7 so that they come around each table and do some tricks. There isnt assigned seating but they just randomly place you there. I got there around 6:30 and there were a few people already there. It started a bit later which also pushed out the show start to 8:15. The banquet food included soup, noodles, rice, peking duck, shrimp, pork ribs, string beans, pea sprouts, walnut shrimp, and fried fish. I thought it was a pretty good banquet meal as I was expecting like the cheaper American food. Once you finish eating, hurry and grab a seat. There may already be seats reserved in the front for those who pay more so just be aware of that. The show was great. Dan and Jennifer were great. The highlight of the show was definitely Dan's boy, James. He is so cute and adorable! He did a few tricks before dinner started and this kid does all these tricks and he is only 7. It is that cute father son act I tell you. He did great in the actual show, especially at the end but I dont want to ruin the surprise. Jennifer was a guest magician and one of hers was my favorite trick where I was straight up amazed. I still dont get it and I probably never will. I have to say that dinner and show were a bit pricey but my family enjoyed it and I really liked supporting Dan and co. since they are so nice and cute together. Yay for litto James!

Our family with teens had a great time at this dinner and magic show activity. 1. Great excuse to get the family to dress up. 2. Pre-dinner mingling. Meet the magicians personally and see their tricks up close. 3. Delicious dinner at Dynasty Restaurant, best dish was Peking Duck (communal style) 4. Quite special to be so close to the performance. Lots of audience participation. Most impressive act to me was the Sudoku number. Kudos to James Chan (little magician) for his contributions to the show.
