Speaker: I will add value to your conference or event by delivering talks and presentations that are engaging, interesting and useful. My aim is to help you to make your event a success.
As well as offering keynotes and talks, I can also be your event 'MC' and Host. I'm happy to create bespoke presentations: tell me which points you want your audience to understand and remember... and I'll do the rest!
Trainer: I provide training in a range of subjects that you can read about on this site, such as persuasion and related 'people' skills. Nobody learns anything when they're bored, so I keep things lively, fun and memorable.
I offer training for individuals, groups and conference audiences, and I'm happy to prepare a bespoke training package just for you. I emphasise active learning and often use 'magic as metaphor' to explain ideas in an entertaining way.
Entertainer: I am a member of The Magic Circle and I have performed all over the world. I offer high quality entertainment as well as talks and training. For example, 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.
I'd Love To Work With YOU!

“My FBI Behavioural Analysis Program hired lan to work with and train our team for a full day. He 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 the art of 'misdirection'
After his seminar, he entertained our entire team with a mindreading show at an evening social. 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

My Clients Include...

“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
