Q: "What's your level of experience and credentials?"

A: "First, I have been performing all across the United States and Canada for over 15 years. As of 2009, I have performed in 25 states, having traveled literally coast to coast. Second, my client list has many names you may recognize, such as General Motors, United Airlines, Bank of America, Footlocker, Westinghouse, The Home-Depot, Ford, US Foodservice, Holiday Inn, Corning, Gore & Associates (the makers of Goretex), Excellus Bluecross-Blueshield and many more. Third, because of my money back guarantee, I HAVE to deliver, otherwise I won't eat! Finally, I am a Certifeied Hypnotist, a Certified Stress Management Consultant from the International Hypnosis Association and am an expert in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), all of which gives me the know-how to not only help people but also hold their attention, whether I'm reading their minds, hypnotizing them or helping them lower their stress levels."  

Q: "What makes you different from other magicians, mind readers & stage hypnotists?"  

A: "First of all, many entertainers only offer one show, whereas I offer several different acts.  

"Secondly, I offer themed entertainment shows - that is, they have different plots. Many magicians or mentalists simply demonstrate that they can do these amazing things and that's great. My shows have different themes, whether I'm playing the role of a self-help expert or conducting a light-hearted murder mystery," my show flows from segment to segment, making it a more enjoyable theatrical experience for my audiences.  

"Plus, they're fast moving and fun! No one ever falls asleep during my presentations because I work hard at presenting everything in alight-hearted manner."  

Q: "Are your motivational programs high in content?"  

A: "My motivational programs are EXTREMELY high in content. There are a lot of other speakers out there who deal mostly with "fluff." A motivational program for your sales team might consist of the presenter saying, 'Get fired up!' And that might be all. My presentations actually give attendees time management and success strategies.  

"A stress reduction seminar presenter may be no better. Many such presentations are really good at entertaining the audience, but there's nothing of substance to carry over those good feelings into continued success and drive in the days, weeks and months after the event.  

"Again, every one of my motivational presentations gives attendees real 'tools' that they can use immediately, in the real world. These tools literally can and do change lives ...I'm living proof, and I cover other true-life examples in my programs."  

Q: "Do you offer follow-up materials?"  

A: "Absolutely! By offering follow-up materials, the life span of the program is extended, as it gives everyone a chance to look back on what I've covered in the weeks and months after I'm long gone."  

Q: "What kind of follow-up materials do you offer?"  

A: "My corporate clients have the option of purchasing workbooks that attendees can use during the presentation itself. I also offer even more depth materials that individual attendees can decide for themselves if they'd like to invest in."  

Q: "Why do you offer presentations for both school faculty groups and corporate groups?"

A: "When it comes to motivating people, I enjoy working with all backgrounds. I think it's important to do what we can to motivate people regardless of their source of income, because after all, everyone helps make the world go around! Besides, life is just so fast-paced that I think it's important to motivate people with topical programs that keep people grounded, to remind ourselves of the important things in life.  

"I offer teacher in-service/staff development programs specifically because I feel that, with the exception of being a good parent, teachers have the TOUGHEST job in the world and I want to do what I can to help them realize just how much they matter to the world!  

"With my corporate motivational programs, it's fairly obvious that as we get older, the pressures we face (real or imagined) seems to multiply greatly as we become adults. Again, our world is so fast-paced that it's important to take a step back and gather ourselves. In the case of my "$uccess Magic" talk, I fully support the business world and I like to pass along effective personal development techniques that have helped me over the years."

Q: "Are all of your presentations the same, like some presenters?"  

A: "Oh my goodness, no! As I mentioned,  use a lot of humor, magic, mind reading and audience participation for my regular entertainment programs as well as my motivational/keynote presentations, but the individual "magic effects" and jokes and so forth vary greatly from program to program."  

Q: "For a themed magic or mind reading program such as Murder By Magic, what do you need from us?"  

A: "Not a lot! If your group is over 100 people, it helps visibility a bit if I'm on a stage of some sort. 

"In the case of a Stage Hypnosis show, I'll need the venue to provide 15-20 straight-backed, armless chairs for the participants to sit in. For a motivational or educational program, you don't need to provide me with ANYTHING because I also bring my own state-of-the-art PA system, meaning less for you to worry about! When I travel across the country by plane, I still bring my own microphone and cables that can plug into practically any sound system where I'm performing."  

Q: "For a motivational event, what do you need from us?"

A: "Again, very little! If your group is over 75 people, I strongly recommend asking your banquet/meeting facility if they have "risers" or portable platforms available so that the seated attendees can see me clearly. If you would like me to utilize power point, I will need the program screen and projector that I can hook up with my laptop. 

"Again, when traveling by air, I provide my own microphone that can plug into virtually any hotel or banquet facility's sound system, so the client doesn't have to worry about anything."  

Q: "What is the investment for your programs?"

A: "Since I travel all over the country and to Canada, it's impossible to give an accurate investment level without knowing the particulars of the event. However, when you contact us, you'll be pleasantly surprised how reasonable our rates are when compared to other speakers, celebrity appearances and entertainers. We also offer generous "multi-program" discounts, referral programs, and other such incentives."   

Q: "Why do you offer such a strong guarantee?"

A: "Two reasons: One, because I believe in what I offer. I know how effective and fun my programs are and more importantly, so do my clients.  Two, because of the fact that there are a lot of 'part-time' entertainers and speakers out in the world, I know that many people have been burned before. By offering such a strong guarantee, I'm showing my clients that they don't have anything to worry about when they book my programs."
