Fast Facts
I am an award-winning professional Speaker, Trainer and Entertainer based in London but available everywhere. I have worked all over the world and love travelling!
Speaker: I speak mainly at corporate events and conferences, offering keynotes, talks and presentations. I can also be your event 'MC' and Host. Among other services, I offer 'made to measure' presentations: tell me the main points you want to convey and I'll do the rest!
Trainer: I offer training for individuals, groups and conferences. My four main subjects are: The Practical Persuasion Method, Creative Problem-Solving, Cold Reading For Business and People Joy. I am happy to put together a training session or course just for you. I emphasise 'active' learning and participation and often add touches of magical entertainment. 'Magic-as-metaphor' can be a great way to get ideas across.
Entertainer: I don't (usually) work as a professional magician and mindreader. However, I am a member of The Magic Circle and I have performed all over the world. When I'm hired as a speaker or trainer, I often add some magical entertainment to my work. I can put on a fun, enjoyable show as a 'curtain raiser' before your main event, or entertain your guests and delegates with close-up magic at the bar or conference venue.

“My FBI Behavioural Analysis Program hired lan to work with and train our team for a full day. He demonstrated and taught us a lot about cold reading and how we could apply it to our work as behavioural analysts. In addition, he covered advanced communication skills, persuasive language and relevant insights into the art of 'misdirection'
At the end of his comprehensive seminar, he entertained our entire team and families with a mindreading show at an evening social. Not only was it great fun, but even today my team is still talking about it. I'd highly recommend lan to anyone who's interested in these subjects and wants a first-class speaker and trainer.”
- Robin Dreeke, former Special Agent and Head of FBI Behavioural Analysis Program
“We had some of the top experts around the globe in their field but when we looked at how people were registering for the conference, and what the attendees wanted, overwhelmingly we saw very large numbers signing up for lan's course. So much so that his class was the largest in the whole session that we had for those three days."
— Chris Hadnagy, Organiser, Human Behaviour Conference
