FAQ’s about David Ranalli and his Background

How did David get interested in Magic?

From the ripe old age of 3, David had begun a fascination with magic after his mother had gotten him a simple magic trick at a store. No, he was not good at performing it, as his pre-school classmates pointed out. However, his casual fascination with magic was planted in his mind.

For the next ten years David casually enjoyed learning about magic for fun. It wasn’t until his parents took him to see David Copperfield at the Allstate Arena did David learn that magic could be real, and he began to take it more seriously. After sneaking backstage to meet Copperfield, David learned that there were local magicians he could learn from. After seeking them out, David was on his way within a year to be performing professionally in restaurants. It was these early days in restaurants that Ranalli learned how to perform, approach people, and all the nuances involved in being a master magician.

However, David can connect you to resources if you (or someone you know) is seriously interested in learning.
