Master of Ceremonies David King is the spokesperson and narrator for WONDERFUL WORLD OF HORSES® , starring the ROYAL LIPIZZANER STALLIONS. His position as an emcee, however, is a spin-off of his first love as a professional illusionist.
A top student, he graduated Valedictorian of his high school. David then moved to Arizona to attend college. After a year and a half, he moved into the business world where he worked in several management positions. At the same time, he was building his magic into a profitable part-time occupation. In a few years, entertainment became his sole profession. Work in Phoenix was limited, so he began touring with variety stage revues, which he really enjoyed. Soon, he was asked to emcee and even manage as well as perform.
David toured the United States and Canada with the Shrine Circuses, as ringmaster and illusionist. In the summer of 1988, he flew to Alaska to ringmaster a large circus. There, he met Gary Lashinsky, who was the producer at that time. David was soon "on the road" with the Lipizzans.
When the season was over, David moved from Los Angeles to Florida to narrate the ROYAL LIPIZZANER STALLION SHOW, at Boardwalk and Baseball theme park near Orlando, Florida. He stayed there throughout most of 1989, leaving only to emcee and become Performance Director of the International Circus Royale in Alaska. Later, he did the same for the ROYAL LIPIZZANER STALLIONS in the Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Maryland areas.
David appeared before millions across the North American Continent. He has won national awards for his magic and has performed several times at Hollywood's famous "Magic Castle"; David's unique sense of timing and delivery enables him to keep "The WONDERFUL WORLD OF HORSES" flowing smoothly. He has extensively researched the history of the Lipizzaner Stallions and Classical Horsemanship so that he can help the audience better understand the finer points of the performance.
