Bay Area Dinner Show

I am glad that I was there to watch the dinner show and it was surprisingly entertaining! They perform some interactive close up magic tricks to our table before the food comes, and The entertainers are really talented on the stage. It was a fun experience overall!

Dan Chan is truly a Master Magician. Fun interactive ticks that are fun and amazing. I recommend checking the dinner show out.

A wonderful experience for the family. Use «25OFF» to get best seating and support this wonderful team of performers. I’ll take family and friends again when I have another opportunity.

Company had annual dinner at cupertino dynasty and I was surprised to see the magic venue provided by Bay Area Dinner Show headed by Dan Chan. My kids loved the show and the family performance by Dan’s wife and kids were amazing. I will recommend their show to anyone who wants their guests to be entertained, getting magically WOW. Thank you for the good time.

I have been back a couple of times, and each time, its like a new experience.
The food, at the Dynasty, is great and plentiful. Food is served family style.
But, what Dan Chan does, well,… it‘s like magic!, No wait, it IS MAGIC!
Great, great show. Wonderful way to get together with family and friends.
We all left the show, trying to figure out, «How‘d he do that???»

A fun experience for couples, families and more. A talented bunch of entertainers. Not your typical magic show, saw a James a 8 year old juggle 5 balls. That kid should be on America’s got talent. Super crazy magic, I’ll never forget the card travelling across the room.

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!

This is the perfect family activity, especially if you have Chinese parents — they’ll LOVE it. I was afraid that the teenagers would think a magic show was lame, but they really enjoyed it as well and appreciated the unique dinner-​and-​a-​show experience. I was also happily surprised that they served legit Chinese banquet dishes, like honey walnut prawns and duck buns. There was more than enough food and I could tell that Dan & co. were really trying to take care of us and make sure that everyone was satisfied.
As for the show, the focus this time was on sleight of hand and card tricks. They put on different shows based on the size of the group, and as we came on a random Monday night, our group was smaller. We got to see lots of close-​up magic (like stuff involving rubber bands or tiny peas you wouldn’t be able to see on a big stage) which we were still trying to figure out days later. These guys are really in this for the pure love of magic, and it really shows.

Our family of 3 got tickets through Goldstar for VIP seating and had a fantastic evening. The dinner was top notch, some of the best Peking duck ever, and the magic show very entertaining. I couldn’t tell what tricks they were using even standing next to the slight of hand. Our 11 year old wished the show was longer, which is about the highest compliment he could give! My only tip would be give yourself extra time to find the restaurant. It’s located inside a big mall.

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.

I agreed with the review by Rama K. I don’t understand why so many people give it a 5-​star rating. We went to the dina/​show at Dynasty in Cupertino. There were less than 20 people. We paid $ 150 each for VIP seats, but did not see any difference because we all sat together and ate the same food. The dinner portion costs about $ 40. The food was so so. If we ordered the same food at a Chinese restaurant, it would cost us about $ 20. The magic show was good. The magicians look young, and very friendly. But the portion we paid for the magic show is about $ 110. It is not worth that much. Overall, the dinner/​show is over priced. No wonder not too many came to the dinner/​show. I was expecting over 100 people, but we had less than 20 people.

Magic for intelligent audiences. Five stars got to try once. I used the deal checked out with «40off» and get a free gift and the 40 off. Try that code and if it doesn’t work contact him directly. Great guy and impossible magic feats

This is the first time I have attended a Magic show/​dinner entertaining event. The Magic show I have attended comprised of a lead magician, a mentalist, and a sleight-​of-​hand guy. The experience is very intimate as the magician will walk around the table interacting with the customers and shows them magic trick to entertain the customers while we’re waiting for the main show to begin. Food was excellent and services were impeccable. I absolutely recommend this for a gift for anniversary, birthday, or just a surprise for your significant others. Definitely fun and classy.

Took our grand daughter to the show for her 9^th birthday. Paid the extra $ 20 for priority seating so that she had some involvement/​interaction with the performers. Turned out we got to sit front row center and our little girl had an awesome time and even participated in a couple of the acts.
They had 7 different performers all very skilled in their craft and the show was most enjoyable — we all had a great time. Will go back again when the acts get a change/​refresh. Only markdown was for «average quality» food at the restaurant. Would definitely recommend this for a good night out.

I came here on some online deal (it ended up being about $ 100 with another $ 20 for priority seating for TWO of us instead of $ 200 or so). It was a very nice and personal experience. I was informed that about 66 people were there for the event. The event starts when we are seated in a dining area with about 10 or so tables, each with about 10 people seated. Dinner is served «family style» where we all share the entrees among the people at our table. The food was actually pretty good.
While eating, magicians would come to our table and show us some tricks. It was very nice. Some tricks were very impressive. Even close up. Although I could see some of the hidden secrets from where I was sitting. All in all, the dinner portion was nice and relaxing. One tip though. If you’re coming here, make sure to go to the bathroom BEFORE sitting down at your table. A couple of the guests at my table left to go to the bathroom and missed a few of the tricks. Seemed like a waste.
Afterward, they escorted the people who paid the extra $ 10/​person first to the stage area (seemed like 20 or so people). Then the rest of the attendees were escorted to the stage area. We sat in the 2^nd row which was fairly close. The show was entertaining and somewhat impressive. Definitely not like something you see in Las Vegas but still a great show nonetheless. Not sure if I would go again (once you’ve seen a magic trick, it’s not as impressive the 2^nd time) but I would definitely have gone for a first time experience.
We even got to meet Dan Chan in person, up close, since we arrived pretty early. He showed us some close-​up tricks as well as took a picture with us at the end (along with the other magicians). Great night indeed!

Had the Pleasure of going to this last night to start of my birthday week! =)
Me and my bf got their a little late, but they were still very kind and promptly sat us for dinner, where there were magicians at every table doing «close-​up» magic to entertain as the dinner courses began to roll out. We had the pleasure of sitting with many of the magicians during the actual dinner part, which was great.
The dinner is a «family-​syle» setting, where you sit at a larger table (even others that you did not come with). Me and the bf had no problem with that. It was actual a plus to be able to engage in conversation with many other people from around the bay area.
As for the actual dinner, it was pretty good. I would say probably around 7 or 8 different Chinese dishes. Our personal favorite was the Peking duck =).
After dinner, we were then led to another room where we were entertained by various comedy-​magician acts. It was a very small setting, which helped with the magicians being more one-​on-​one. I would say roughly 40 guests in all. I had the pleasure of being called up for an act lol … oh man… dancing and doing the YMCA… good time! haha
Overall, Me and the bf had a great experience in all aspects of the night. The only reason I gave one star less was for small things. Though the food was good, I felt a little disconnect between the show and the servers of the dinner. Almost as if they were two separate entities. Also, The production of the actual show was pretty low-​key, BUT that did not take away from the talent of all the performers at hand.
I would recommend everyone try it out! You can tell the whole Dan Chan Team enjoys what they do and does their best to make sure their guests have a great time!

My friends invited me to the magic dinner show last night and all I can say is that the show was amazing! I enjoyed it a lot and it gave us a lot of entertainment.
We started with the dinner and the food made me satisfy. I had a good time with my friends. We moved to the room next door for the magic show after dinner. The magic show surprised me with all the amazing magic tricks! All three magician have their own unique tricks which gave me surprises through out the show!
I highly recommend this to everyone especially for family. I am sure you will have a great time!

My name is Rudy and I am a (Mike/Dan/Alex)-holic. Coming into this show I did not know what to expect. Not only was this one of my first live magic shows, but also the first dinner magic show.
The show first starts of with getting people seated in round tables with friends and family. The magicians, one-​by-​one approach the tables casually without much fanfare, but the magic tricks performed in front of you shock the socks out of you. I won’t disclose the magic tricks performed, but let me tell you that even though our table had 5 engineers we could not figure out the tricks. In general, I would say they are simple tricks with high impact factor that leave the table agasp.
After that a LOT of food comes out. I don’t recall the complete menu (again, too many dishes to recall), but I did appreciate that one of the magicians sat with us to entertain any questions we had about him. For most of the magicians that I have seen I know the magic that they perform, but do not know much about their personal story. What they were doing before? How they got into the world of magic? What is their lifestyle? What conferences do they go to? How do you become a great magician? Given that I love to travel to explore different cultures, it was very interesting to learn about being a magician’s.
Once full and content with the food we are then transferred into a seating area where we get to see more complicated and shocking magic tricks. The kind of thing you would see in an auditorium but close-​up. From the levitation kind of tricks all the way to mind reading and humor.
Overall it was a great experience. My favorite parts were definitely the close-​up magic and getting to talk to the magicians. The latter of which you seldom do in magic shows. Thanks Mike/​Dan and Alex for a great experience!!! =)

I went to a dinner show with the Dan Chan Presents dinner show team and it was absolutely amazing. The night I went Dan was accompanied by a comedy magician, and a magician doing crazy tricks with CD’s and even a shadow puppet bit. I’ve seen plenty of magicians and Dan’s magic is top notch. The 3 shell game is totally amazing and fooled us again and again. Also equally amazing was the card trick where he made my signed card appear in his wallet.
I used the checkout code «direct» on the website giving us free upgraded seating. He also gave us a cool ambigram shot glass that said Dan Chan Magic Man both upside down and right side up. My husband was studying the design of the shot glass for 15 minutes trying to figure out how it works. I look forward to coming to see another dinner show!
