Western Canadian Symposium
"Our Association has had the pleasure of having David Thiel perform at two of our functions and both times David did not disappoint. David combines humour and quick wit with exceptional mentalism. Everyone left with the same question, "How did he do that?" We would highly recommend David for any function and look forward to seeing him again."
Recreational Vehicle Dealers Assn of AB
"I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU again for your performance. You kept everyone entertained and intrigued. The crowd was talking about it for the rest of the night.

Cargill Canada
"David: It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I sincerely appreciate your accommodations to make this possible. Given the challenge faced this year, the importance of this year's event, to bring our members and their families together, cannot be understated. Thank you for being a part of it and helping to bring us all closer together again through laughter and mystery."

Fairs and Exhibitions
"We hired David to perform on our grandstand for 3 nights during our fair. I would like to say David was very professional and was more than accommodating in adapting to what our needs were. Any and all feedback we received from fair-goers was all great regarding David’s show with lots of comments of “that was unbelievable, we were always wondering just what he was going to do next." I would definitely recommend hiring David to entertain any size group from our grandstand size to smaller more close up size of crowd. David was true to his word and performed over and above what was written in the contract. I wish all entertainers were as honourable as David Thiel. "
Vermilion Agriculture Society
Family Events
"You were definitely one of the highlights of our Family Day last year. Many people commented on your ability to entertain the adults as well as the children with your 'strolling magic show.' We'd like to book you again."
Suncor
"David: I just wanted to thank you for the amazing show you put on for our family birthday party. Everyone is still talking about it. I love that you took the time to put together a show for kids that wasn't a children's show...a show that appealed to their love of magic, keeping the mystery of it alive and inspiring awe in all of us. Several times since then, as I run into the kids at school, we have tried the different things you performed on each other. No success yet, but a lot of laughter. You are truly gifted and it was a pleasure to have you share that gift with us. Keep on being "mental."

“I just wanted to thank you for making our Udderly Hilarious event a great success. It went off without a hitch. You were a huge hit!”
DuPont Canada
Special Events & Festival Entertainment
"David Thiel not only is magical in his performance but his unique and clever brand of mentalism keeps audiences riveted, in suspense and chuckling at the same time. (How does he read those minds?) This year, headlining at Taste of Edmonton's main outdoor stage, David's show was the only non-musical act. It was completely worth the risk the organizing team took! David had the audience amazed. They laughed out loud. They had a great time. He also held their attention for the complete performance, quite the feat as there were so many distractions. David puts people at ease and really knows how to engage them. I not only recommend David as a performer, I so look forward to his next show!"
Borysa Struk, President & Event Director, BOS Events
"As always we are very happy with your work on Canada Day. It’s always a pleasure to have you on site, and the audience loves you!"
RRCBW, Fort McMurray
Private Performances and VIP Bookings
A little background on this next letter. This event was held for an 83 year old man, who had survived THREE life-threatening episodes in the previous year. He was at death's door three times...and he came back every time. His birthday party was a celebration of his spirit. His daughter booked me to perform at his very special birthday party. I was honoured. He is a wonderful man. She said:
"Thanks David! Dad hasn't stopped talking about you yet! You made his day wonderful and for that we can never thank you enough!"
Lori A.
"We have no idea how you knew those things about us. People were still talking about it today. We can't figure out how you did all that. Is it real?"
A.G.C.
"David had me laughing and entertained from the moment I contacted him. He goes beyond simple mentalism, he is truly an entertainer! Our people were talking about him for days, and I had many compliments about the party and his excellent performance. I would hire him again in a heartbeat - he was timely, wonderful to work with, and most of all, great entertainment!!!"
VIP Booking
"He was hilarious. Our usually stuffy crowd, which has well hidden reserves of humour, thoroughly enjoyed this performer."
Urban Development Institute
"We thought we had seen just about everything over the years. We were wrong. From the instant you arrived to the moment you finished our attendees were spellbound. You can count on many future bookings with us, although you've already set the bar very high for your future performances."
J.N. Wilde
Trade Shows
