Speaking Topics
Overcome the Illusion of Fear
(short version available on TEDx Boston college)
David became a magician due to a knee surgery in college. He tells the story of how a shy and math-savvy Asian kid is able to overcome his fear and pursue this new passion. It’s easier said than done, but how can you push yourself out of your comfortable zone? Most people don’t follow their passion because it is a risky move without a guarantee of stable income. How is David able to successfully transition from a finance degree into becoming an expert magician and mentalist? What are his risks and possible failures along the way? This talk chronicles David’s unconventional magician journey, and sheds lights to those that are eager to learn about how to live and work passionately.

Live in the World of Possibility, not the World of Reality
(short version available on TEDx North Adams)
Magic is the art of possibilities, and it is exactly what fascinates David into learning the art. Every magic trick shows you something that is seemingly impossible. It’s about defying the odds, doing things that statistically don’t make any sense. There is no magic if it’s easy to accomplish and that the odds are in your favor. In this talk, David highlights this core principle of magic and explains how we can all apply this outside of the box thinking. David reveals the inner workings of how magic works in the mind of the audience. How can we all see more possibilities in this world of reality?

But going even beyond than just the performance, David manages to build emotional bonds and captivate them so much that they become friends and follow David on social media. In this talk, David explains his unique performance approach. By using magic as a vehicle instead of as an end product, David is able to connect with his audience and build lasting relationships.

Creating Social Impact and the Magic of Reciprocation
There was a time when David visited a regional jail and gave all the inmates there a free magic show. Afterwards, David left each of them his business card, so that they can contact him when they get out of jail. Another time when David spent an hour performing magic free for a group of homeless travelers, then decided to spend that entire afternoon to perform magic on the streets to raise money for them. How can we do what we love doing for those that need the most help? By helping others, David explains that it is also helping yourself in the long-run.
