Magic 4 Speakers – Tom Antion and Steve Hart
Now, for the first time you can learn the secrets of professional magicians!
Long-time professional magician Reveals the Tricks of the Trade.
If you’re serious about creating a great impact on your audience while becoming more memorable yourself you must consider magic as one of your options
I’m Tom Antion and I’m NOT a magician. I’m a speaker who has strategically used magic tricks throughout my speaking career to make points, spice up my speeches and get audience involvement.
I’ve also used magic to win over people who were forced to attend my presentations and to guarantee my sessions were full when I was speaking at an event where there were lots of presentations going on at once (you look really great when your session is standing room only and everyone else has 85% empty seats).
Later I’m going to tell you about a gag I did that had standing room only at my speech at 6:00 o’clock in the morning, but before I do that ….
Let me make this clear
This letter is not about making you into a magician or entertainer. It’s about teaching you a specific skill that can massively enhance your speaking and training.
Let me make another thing clear
I’m not talking about performing a magic act that takes up lots of time during your talks. I might only do one “illusion” during a 90 minute presentation.
Let me make one more thing clear
You don’t have to be highly skilled to use magic in your presentations.
I’ve had lots of people come up to me after a speech saying how much they loved my illusion . . . when I know if a professional magician had been in the audience they would be getting sick because of the simplicity of my trick.
You see, when you are not billed as a professional magician and when the trick comes out of nowhere to illustrate a point, you are not held to the level of scrutiny that a magician has to face. . . . i.e., you can get away with murder and still be a big hit.
Anyone can do the run of the mill tricks and that’s the problem.
I’m not trying to pretend that I’m the first person who has thought about using magic in a speech. Many people have done it and they’ve used the same old overused tricks to the point that just about everyone has seen them or knows how they’re done.
Steve Hart (the professional magician I teamed up with for this project) and I have carefully selected the illusions that you probably have never seen before or even heard of. They’re just as easy to do, but not all worn out.
And since neither one of us are slackers we came up with 52 of these illusions for you to pick from.
Each illusion can be done with no sleight of hand and just a tiny bit of practice. This is what sets you apart from the run of the mill speakers who won’t invest in their skills and practice.
These are not the tricks you see every low-level speaker using. You wouldn’t want them anyway. There is nothing worse than doing an illusion and most people in the audience have seen it already.
The crazy thing is that even if you don’t know what you’re doing, many of these illusions still work. Just follow Steve’s simple instructions and the tricks virtually work themselves….this leaves you time to practice what you say while the trick is in progress.
Did you know…
…the tricky part of the trick is usually completed in the first few seconds? The rest of the time while the trick “appears” to be in motion you are making your speech points and saying things that add to the mystique of the trick.
Steve gives you sample material to say with each trick. You’ll immediately see how the trick is used to make a certain kind of presentation point. In the magic trade what you say while doing a magic trick is called . . .
. . . Patter
The entire reason to do magic tricks in a speech or workshop is to make points, add interaction and make your speech and ideas memorable. The magic trick helps to anchor what you say in the minds of the participants.
A magician is there purely to entertain. You are there to inform. Both speakers and professional magicians talk while a trick is in progress. The difference is as a speaker you say things that reinforce your points and magicians try to say either mystical or funny lines.
Steve does a great job of giving you sample “patter” so you’ll know exactly the kinds of points that can be made with a particular trick. You can then easily slant the patter to fit your exact points. . . . but don’t think we are trying to stifle your creativity. . . Once you see the tricks you will undoubtedly think up other points that exactly suit your presentations.
This DVD training set for speakers, authors and trainers contains many of the secrets that the pro magicians don’t want revealed….
Now we’re not doing anything illegal here, but pro magicians are very secretive about their craft. The reason it is OK for me to produce this DVD set is that you are paying and you are a serious professional. Steve and I aren’t wildly telling people all around the world how to do the tricks in an effort to ruin them for other pros. You are making an investment in your training and that’s usually OK with professional magicians. … Hey you don’t want them to make YOU disappear do you ? hahahaha Just to cover myself please read the oath below and check the box.
