2024 has been so busy I forgot to post my new reel, so here it is! 🙈
What a blast to work with @jack.lemay on this project - a true master of his craft. Insanely grateful for the time and attention on this footage 🙏 - and shout out to @luke_a_damn for sick animations throughout. So clean!
It has only existed for a few weeks, but this reel has been awesome for corporate + private clients who want a sneak peek of what I do before they bring me in for their event. 💪
The deepest thanks goes to @stephenmcnallyphoto who captured almost all of this footage. His incredible work ethic + attention to detail gave me an insane catalog of footage to pull from. This would be nothing without him and his talents. Some of my favorite nights performing are when I know Steve and his camera are in the audience 🥲
Also, special thanks to my braintrust who weighed in along the way... (@colincloud , @benseidman , @sanjsinghmagic , @danieljaspersen , @beckerssss , and a few sets of eyes I'm sure I'm forgetting 🙏 - also @valeriancadici for sick Qatar footage + @orbitbrown for some of the old gems!)
Hope you dig it!
Unlock Your 10X Leverage | David Gerard
David Gerard doesn't try to be every magician. He's the Silicon Valley magician — and the right clients can't find anyone else like him.
Generalists are forgettable. Find your 10X thing and go so far down that road that nobody can follow you. The people who changed your industry didn't appeal to everyone.
They just became completely, unapologetically themselves.

On Tuesdays, my classes run from 8:15am to 9:00pm. You’d think we’d be wiped by the end. Nope.
My last class is a three-hour Marketing course called Humor: Serious Business. Today we had the privilege of hosting the best mentalist-magician in the world, @davidgerardmagic He gave us a 25-minute show that absolutely blew our minds, then walked us through the fundamentals of his craft and how comedy sets him apart from every other magician out there. It was so special to see how someone so brilliantly engaged an audience, keeping the energy up, leaving you expectant every second and yet making you laugh off your seats! Literally! Also, it's impressive how David left the business/consulting/corporate side of the world to follow his passion AND dedicated years to build his craft. One big lesson I learned was that being the best at your craft takes time, dedication, passion and consistent practice. No wonder he's killing it!
This was one of those classes you get once in a lifetime. Damn! @stanfordgsb you did it again.
Wow - what an event last week for Sixth Street partners at @ritzcarltonhmb . @onbrandimages did an absolutely incredible job documenting the mystery - honored to be part of the event! 🔥✨
"Opening the aperture of fear slowly." That's how a former VP of Marketing spent 12 years secretly becoming one of the best magicians in the world. No big leap. Just a really long bridge. New ep of @isthisworkingpodcast with @davidgerardmagic out now.
For the past two years I’ve been quietly running monthly men’s circles in the Bay Area, inspired by my mentors @shemsheart and @tedritertalks . These circles are amazing, but require commitments anywhere from six months to a year.
Secretly, I’ve been dreaming of creating a one day experience that I could share more widely, but I needed someone to facilitate with me who would bring decades of experience. That person is @shemsheart , direct from Maui, and we are doing it on April 4th in San Francisco.
Over an afternoon and evening, we’ll drop in deep - building connection, community, and exploring our “second mountains.” I’ve been blessed to be guided by Shems for years now, and I can promise he is a master.
Please take a look and see if it might jam with you or a person in your life.
Special thanks to @dannipomplun and @haum.studios for hosting and supporting our container :)
