Danny Archer started doing magic as a hobby when he was 29 years old. In 1988 he left his job as salesman with Apple Computer and started to work at the Philadelphia Magic Company. Here Danny learned a lot about magic and magicians and it was a great starting point until the company folded in 1991. Danny went back to work in the real world and then in March of 1994 he relocated to Denver, CO. He was working once again in computer sales when he suffered a heart attack. In the recovery room he realized that he was not doing what he wanted with his life and he decided to give magic one more chance.
To supplement his performing career, he formed the Magicians Lecture Network which is a nationwide lecture booking organization. The MLN has booked over 5,000 lectures worldwide!! Danny also marketed his first trick , Eye Exam, that has been a wildly successful card trick right from the start. Spurred on by the success of Eye Exam, he released more tricks to the magic community (Birthday Banner, Grandpa’s Deck, Animental and now has over 24 effects on the market including his first video tape called Working Alone). Along with Joe Givan he has formed Five Star Magic Media, a video publishing company, and their first release Any Questions? starring Garrett Thomas has been a smash hit. Danny’s lecture has taken him around the world and all over the US. He has lectured in Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, France, Italy, Israel and Spain and in 44 of the 50 US states. In addition, he has performed at a number of convention's including; IBM national convention (2002 & 2003), British IBM national convention, Tannen’s, Hank Lee’s Cape Cod Conclave, A1 Convention at the Capital, Atlanta Harvest, Magic Spectram in Montreal, Winter Carnival in Gatlinburg, MAES, the Blackpool Convention, FFFF in Buffalo and many, many more. He also has produced seven close-up conventions, The Las Vegas Magic Invitational (LVMI) with his partner Robert Allen and they also produce a mentalism convention called MINDvention. His material has appeared in publications like; MAGIC, Linking Ring, Genii, Channel One, MUM, Infinity and several international magic publications. When not working for the magic community, Danny performs in front of many different types of groups, specializing in the corporate marketplace. Danny creates his own original magic effects and performs both close-up and stand-up magic. His magic is visual, dynamic and created to be performed in real world situations. He uses simple props to present magic effects that most people have never seen before (and of course, a card trick or two).
