Dan spent over a decade entertaining corporate audiences with sophisticated sleight-of-hand, charming wit and engaging stage skills. He is a repeat performer at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California - the most prestigious magic venue in the world. During his time as an entertainer, he identified a number of parallels between the work of great magicians and great organizational leaders. They all take a diverse group of individuals, form connections between them and influence them toward a shared goal.

Now, Dan delivers these insights to corporate, educational and association audiences at conferences, executive retreats and meetings. He presents in the form of keynote addresses and interactive workshops - where participants actually learn and perform magic themselves. The use of magic creates an atmosphere of possibility within the group and leads to increased retention and implementation. The entertainment value is tremendous, and Dan carefully balances the fun with valuable, transformative content.

His core messages are the importance of challenging assumptions, shifting perspectives and realizing that reality is subjective - 'truth' for one person isn't necessarily 'truth' for another. With over six billion people on the planet, there are over six billion 'realities.' Dan's presentations dramatically illustrate the value of holding one's assumptions lightly and getting new perspectives on the challenges within one's organization.

Dan's corporate clients include Investors Group, Standard Life and TD Financial Group. Educational clients include The University of Toronto, The Rotman School of Business, Rochester Institute of Technology and the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. Dan has also worked with the governments of Canada and Ontario.

Master the Magic of Leadership: An Exploration of Influence, Connection and Empowerment

Dan Trommater approaches leadership and management from a very unique perspective. His use of incredible magic tricks, eye-popping optical illusions and compelling stories engages audiences and communicates in a way like no other. In this engaging program, Dan shows how leaders can build strong relationships and lead more effectively by applying the tactics and philosophies of professional magicians. After all, being an effective leader is a lot like being a magician - a leader needs to connect to a diverse group of people, influence them to a common goal and believe that anything is possible. Dan uses his award-winning skills as a magician and educator to illustrate key concepts and provide real-world tips and tools that make leaders and managers more effective.
The Subjective Realities Show: Create Undelible Memories & Challenge Perceptions

This engaging performance dives deep into a fundamental truth in a thoroughly entertaining fashion. In addition to being a sought-after speaker and trainer, Dan truly enjoys getting back to his roots and providing entertainment for events. His one-man show Subjective Realities is perfect for functions from awards banquets to holiday parties. This is much more than a simple 'magic show' - it's an entertaining extension of his keynotes and training sessions that explores the fact that reality is subjective - what's 'truth' for one person, isn't necessarily 'truth' for another.
Think Like a Magician: The Real Secrets of Magic and Business

Change your definition of the word 'impossible'! In this eye-opening program attendees learn how magicians are able to make the impossible possible and gain valuable tools for unleashing the true potential within one's self and organization. Join Dan Trommater as he explores the secrets of magic - not secrets like 'the hand is quicker than the eye' or 'it went up his sleeve.' Rather, the true secrets of magic. In fact, the real secrets of being a successful magician are the same as for success in any endeavor. Mastery of perception, relentless commitment, creativity, teamwork... These, and other 'secrets', are at the heart of success. Dan uses his award-winning skills as a magician and educator to illustrate these key concepts and provide a high-energy, interactive experience for attendees. Dan will awaken perceptions and demonstrate principles of magic that can be used to unleash hidden potential and turn the impossible into reality. When you think like a magician, you can achieve the impossible!

Dan's keynote presentation on "subjective realities" brilliantly accomplished our teaching objectives in a unique and utterly engaging way. Through the use of stories, magic tricks and optical illusions, Dan was able to demonstrate how fragile our assumptions really are and the importance of continually seeking new ways to approach challenging problems.

Ellie Avishai, Rotman School of Management - University of Toronto
He sure had the room's attention and it made for one of the best meetings that I have ever had.

John Ryce, Investors Group
I could tell that the message resonated with all the attendees by the thunderous applause and extremely positive feedback shared at the end. Dan's performance literally made that seminar the most memorable I've ever attended.

David Suydam, Architech Solutions
You exceeded all expectations we had for our event. The magic was fascinating, but your command of the room as a speaker puts you in a rare class.

David Belasco, University of Southern California Marshall School of Business
Dan illustrates that perception is reality, and how we as leaders, can motivate teams to achieve common (or uncommon) goals.
