Daniel Chan developed an interest in magic watching David Copperfield as a child, and when he was learning how to juggle in the juggling club at the University of California-Riverside. Little did Chan know that he would not only become a professional magician, but his career would become a family affair.
Chan borrowed a magic DVD from two friends, and his nascent interest in magic began to grow. When he returned to his native San Francisco, he discovered the Misdirections Magic Shop.
