David Ben inspires people to strike the word impossible from their vocabulary.

For twenty years David has been speaking passionately as a kick-off or closing presenter at corporate, association and community gatherings across the United States and Canada about the subjects that interest him: creativity and community, magic and gambling, business and art.

Personal highlights include presentations at IdeaCity (2009), The Smithsonian (2008), Canadian Business Top Fifty Entrepreneur Retreat (2007), and his convocation address for one of his alma maters, the Faculty of Law at the University of Western Ontario (2007).

Drawing on his experience as a performer, writer, producer, and consultant, David has developed three original presentations, each a combination of message and merriment designed to inspire and entertain.

As a magician, David was the sole protégé of Ross Bertram - one of the great sleight-of-hand artists of the twentieth century. David is a member of London’s prestigious Magic Circle and has performed throughout the United States, Canada, England and Japan. The public, the press and his peers have recognized David as one of the world’s foremost sleight-of-hand artists.

Presentations Include:

Magic Of David Ben
For most people, planning the entertainment for a special event such as a client appreciation night, company party or gala dinner is a nightmare. David Ben turns the nightmare into a dream come true. Whether it is a program of intimate magic for fifty people or a full stage production augmented by rear screen projection for an audience of a thousand, David captures the crowd.

Advantage Play
David demonstrates the true meaning of being proactive. As a magician, David has to make miracles happen. By performing magic and then explaining how the magic was created, people learn that success in magic and business is the result of the cumulative effect of many apparently inconsequential details most people take for granted. It is a unique approach to learning a few new tricks for the trade presented by a unique individual.

Magic By Design
Audiences love the unexpected – in books, movies, magic, and relationships. David Ben teaches how to engage, motivate and move your audience. He draws on his vast experience as an internationally acclaimed magician, theatrical producer and, yes, tax lawyer, to demonstrate how to orchestrate the unexpected.
