DAVID KNIGHT
ILLUSIONIST – SPEAKER – TRAINER
Born and raised around Dallas Texas, David has always been a performer. From his first role in a kindergarden play, David has continually found himself in front of a crowd. As a child, he would urge his cousins to perform in plays that he would write (and star in) for the family.
His early love was music. Concentrating on his vocal skills, he joined the Mesquite Boys Choir where he learned more about the skills of showmanship. He was also cast in a made-for-tv movie. But, he probably won’t tell you what it was.
It was during a 6th grade reading assignment that David felt the draw of the art of illusion after reading a biography on the famous magician and escape artist, Harry Houdini.
Throughout high school David honed his craft by performing in restaurants and at private parties around his home town of Dallas, Texas. You would often find him at the local magic shop or hanging out with Dallas magic professionals like: past Society of American Magicians president Dal Sanders, world-wide performer and consultant Rick Walker or creator and tv personality Bizzaro.
While attending college, David was offered a position with world-renowned Christian illusionist, Andre Kole. He spent 3 years under Andre’s tutelage where he learned some of the finer skills of the art of illusion.
David recently received a degree from West Coast Bible College and Seminary. He is trying to learn guitar. He is also an admitted Apple fanboy.
