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." |
