Creating the most influential you | Vinh Giang | TEDxMacquarieUniversity

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. With magic as his metaphor Vinh will share with you an extremely powerful way to improve your presentation ability dramatically. A technique used by many magicians all over the world, it’s deceivingly simple yet very effective.

I will tell you more about it this weekend, I think you will love it. I wanted to add as much value as I can and share my gold nuggets. This technique by far is one of the most powerful that I know that anyone can use and it will 100% dramatically improve their ability to present. A little gem from the world of magic.

2013 South Australian Entrepreneur of the Year, magician and professional speaker Vinh Giang has been building businesses from a very young age. Through his love of both business and magic over the years, he has discovered many common threads between the world of business and the world of magic.
Vinh is unique in that he not only shares powerful stories from his journey, highlighting key principles of success; he is able to demonstrate and prove to a live audience precisely how real each of his lessons are, using the art of magic as his vehicle. Also being a presentation coach, Vinh firmly believes that a keynote is so much more than just content delivery. It is about bringing the content to life on stage, and each keynote is a performance that Vinh carefully crafts so he can create the most powerful emotional experience for the audience.
By creating a fun yet mysteriously entertaining atmosphere through magic, Vinh is able to ensure each and every member of his audience remains engaged throughout his presentation, and each key business concept is driven home in a truly profound and inspirational manner. After all, it is about making the medicine taste good.
Coming from the humble origins of a refugee family from Vietnam, Vinh has since worked with companies from all over the world, and is fortunate enough to be able to continuously learn from the best. Mentored by internationally recognised high achievers, such as Matthew Michalewicz, Vinh is always looking to expand his knowledge, and share fresh, cutting-edge topics with his audience.
Vinh is fascinated with the psychology behind the mysterious art of magic, and has devoted himself to understanding the ways in which people are fooled not only by illusions, but by the tricks that life plays on us, and that we play on ourselves. Through identifying and understanding how this occurs, he has found ways to unlock the minds of his audience, and ensure his messages are memorable and will create lasting change not only in their businesses, but also their personal lives.??Hearing Vinh will open your mind to new possibilities, as he takes you on an unforgettable journey through his moving family story, remarkable insights into human psychology, business and the wonderful art of magic.
