Keynote Speaker

Keynote Speaker

I have been working as a keynote speaker for about 25 years. I love taking part in events and conferences of all kinds, whether large or small. My job is to help your event to be an amazing success. Sometimes, clients hire me just as a speaker whereas on other occasions they may ask for a show or some training as well. Because of my 'One Fee' policy, it makes little difference to the price.

Subjects & Themes

Clients most often asked to speak on subjects related to the training services I offer, which you can read about here. For example, I might offer a keynote about selling, persuasion, communication, cold reading, people skills or creative thinking. I can also devise presentations on slightly more unusual subjects, such as how you can develop a 'magical mindset' to help you solve problems.

Alternatively, I can simply ask you which key points, themes or messages you would like to get across to your audience. I will then put together a talk or keynote to make sure your audience will understand and remember those points.

Touches Of Magic

I don't include entertaining touches of magic and mindreading in every keynote I present. However, the fact that I can do so is often useful. It helps to make your conference 'a little bit different'. It's also true that 'magic as metaphor' can be a strong, vivid way to get points across or to help to make unusual ideas more accessible.

Magician London

Magician London

I love performing magic at corporate events, in London (where I live) or anywhere else!

Would you like me to perform walkabout / strolling magic at your London party or event? I can do that for you and I'd love to!

Would you like me to put on a cabaret / stage show as part of your London company weekend or product launch? I can do that for you and I'd love to!

Would you like me to entertain your group / department with magic or mindreading the evening before a London training day, as a sort of 'curtain-raiser'? I can do that for you and I'd love to!

Magic is an amazing form of entertainment. It can scale to any size audience. I can perform magic for one person, small groups at a cocktail reception or a lecture theatre audience of 1000 people!

Magic can be cool and serious, or funny and full of laughs! When you hire me for your London event or occasion, you can say you want the tone quite cool and serious or fun, humorous and amusing! Magic is a wonderful way to get a corporate message or set of messages across, or to illustrate points using 'magic as metaphor'. You tell me what you want people to understand and to remember, and I'll devise a magical way to do it.

Many London-based companies and corporate groups hire me in my capacity at a Trainer. You can read more details here. However, even if they hire me primarily as a trainer, they sometimes also ask me to provide some magical entertainment, either before or after the training session(s).

When the management team at Stansted Airport, London, hired me for a day of training, they also asked me to put on a small magic show for their management team the evening before, as a sort of 'curtain-raiser' event.

When I was hired to train FBI field agents, they asked me for an 'after dinner' show in the restaurant at the end of the day, once all the training was over, just for fun!

I'm always happy to add a touch of magic or mindreading to any event or occasion!
