David & Brayden are one of the country’s premier performing arts duos, based in Columbus, Ohio. Their show, Good Boys of Magic, is a fast-paced, delightfully chaotic blend of unhinged comedy, sharp sleight of hand, and unexpected absurdity. With a dynamic that feels equal parts vaudeville throwback and modern-day mischief, they’ve carved out a lane that’s entirely their own.
,
This isn’t your typical magic show. David & Brayden specialize in breaking the rules—of magic, of theater, and occasionally of good taste—in the most entertaining ways possible. Their performances are packed with running jokes, audience interaction, and feats that blur the line between magic and raw skill. And while their comedic timing is impeccable, their technical chops are just as strong, with magic that’s as surprising as it is smart.
,
At its core, Good Boys of Magic is about connection. The duo’s chemistry is electric, and their ability to make each show feel personal, playful, and totally unique keeps audiences coming…

Cleveland has always had a glow, but we’ve turned up the brightness. Illuminate CLE brings bold, dynamic lighting displays to the heart of Public Square, transforming the cityscape into a vibrant, immersive and illuminating experience every hour, on the hour, from dusk until 11:00pm.
This project isn’t just about lights — it’s about making Cleveland feel even more connected, walkable and alive after dark. Launched in 2025 through a partnership led by Destination Cleveland, Illuminate CLE builds on the legacy of the Terminal Tower's legendary light displays, extending its color themes across Public Square and beyond.
