You'll be surprised how fast you get a call.
There are many magicians and many keynote speakers. There are very few Asian magicians who deliver a real keynote, with a TEDx talk behind it, and also perform at the level that Google, Netflix and Bulgari book for their own events. Johnny Wu is one of them.
He picked up magic after moving alone from Taipei to Toronto at twelve, when it was the only language he had. Two decades later he has performed for Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Magic Johnson, Paris Hilton and Taylor Swift, read minds for Kris Jenner and Maye Musk, and appeared on Netflix's Star Search.
Keynote first, magic as the proof
The Power of Micro Moments is a 40 to 60 minute keynote about how small choices shape extraordinary results. The magic and mind reading are woven through it as evidence. A volunteer's free choice that was shaped from the first second is a far stronger argument than any slide about decision making.
If you want entertainment too, add a stage show for the evening or close-up magic at the reception through Omni Magic Entertainment, the Los Angeles company Johnny founded in 2017. One booking, one contact, more than 2,200 five-star reviews behind it.
Made for AAPI events and Lunar New Year
For AAPI Heritage Month, Lunar New Year celebrations and Asian American employee resource groups, Johnny brings representation without a lecture: a performer who looks like part of the audience, tells a story many of them lived, and then fools everyone in the room equally. He grew up speaking Mandarin and can greet a Mandarin-speaking audience.
For general corporate conferences, the same keynote simply works. The story is specific, the message is universal. See the Asian keynote speaker page for the heritage month format.
