A Short Bio On Daniel C Schaffer
Daniel's Background
Over 20 Years of Experience
Daniel C Schaffer began performing magic at age 7, and performed his first paid magic show at age 15. In 2014 while studying Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah he decided to pivot to pursue entertainment full time, with a goal of bringing joy and wonder to others.
He completed his bachelors degree in business administration with a focus on strategy, leadership, and marketing. Daniel has travelled around the world to study the magical arts. He has worked with living legends like 2X US Memory Champion Ron White, and Motivational Speaker Les Brown leading to the incredible experience you will have at your event.
In 2022, at the age of 33, Daniel C Schaffer was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Growing up and navigating the world with undiagnosed autism was not an easy experience. This was complicated further with early abuse, sexual assault, and addiction. Throughout his healing journey he has studied communication, stoicism, psychology, and leadership to not only overcome his own traumas, but to master the leadership and communication skills that seemed to come naturally to others. Fast forward to today, his unique ability to see the world differently enables him to create experiences for his audiences and communicate ideas in ways that you cannot find anywhere else.
Over the years Daniel has won multiple awards for his public speaking and magic and was a best-selling coauthor of the book, The One Thing That Changed Everything. In his award winning message "Who Are You?", Daniel says, "my shelves are littered with trophies and certificates". Daniel realized that each award and accomplishment represents a milestone in his journey, evidence of the impact of his messages and magic. Even though it feels great to win awards, what Daniel loves most is how each one has pushed him to become a better version of himself. Allowing him to better connect with his audiences
Daniel is originally from Utah, and currently lives in Cincinnati, OH with his husband and service dog Angie. His hobbies include cooking, hiking, foraging, and being engaged in the community. Among his notable accomplishments Daniel has raised over $200,000 for charitable causes. He has a goal to hit $1M by 2026.
