Every keynote is a Workshow: a 45 to 90-minute keynote where the core idea is proven with live magic and the audience takes part. People don't just hear it, they live it. That's why they remember it and act on it the next day.

Jack has performed magic since he was 4 and has facilitated leadership teams since 2012. His keynotes bring together three disciplines: the psychology magicians use to direct attention and decisions; education (learning in Flow and learning by building); and the business strategy he practices as a partner at Trivium.

The science behind it
It's not just a trick. It's how the brain works.
What a magician does on stage matches what research shows about how we pay attention, learn, remember and decide.
Attention
Magicians have controlled attention for centuries; neuroscience is only beginning to measure it. A whole field of research now studies their techniques to understand how perception works.
Macknik, Martinez-Conde et al. · Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2008
In the keynote: selling is directing attention. Influence teaches you how.
Surprise
When something defies our expectations, we learn more about it and explore it more eagerly. Surprise opens a window for learning.
Stahl & Feigenson · Science, 2015
In the keynote: every magic effect opens that window right before the key idea.
Curiosity
Curiosity activates the brain's reward circuit and improves memory, even for things we learn in passing while we're curious.
Gruber, Gelman & Ranganath · Neuron, 2014
In the keynote: mystery keeps the audience engaged and makes the message stick.
Decision
In "choice blindness" experiments, many people argued in favor of an option they had not actually chosen. We decide less rationally than we think.
Johansson, Hall et al. · Science, 2005
In the keynote: understanding how customers decide changes how you sell and negotiate.
Why it works
What is a Workshow?
Flow
Challenge and skill in balance, so everyone enters an optimal state for learning.
Build
New ideas connect to what people already know; they get built and reflected on.
Metaphor
Personal, emotional images that are remembered long after the event.
Show
Live magic designed so the idea is proven in front of everyone, not just explained.
What teams say
What happens afterwards.
“I will never forget this keynote. You made our goal appear and I have no idea how.”
Director · HiltiImpossible by Design keynote
“I had no idea that with just a few words I could persuade like a magician.”

Keynote + workshop
The keynote inspires. The workshop turns it into commitments.
Most keynotes end with applause. Jack's can keep going: after the event, a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshop with the same team turns the energy into concrete decisions and commitments.
He designs and facilitates it himself, as one of the 19 trainers of the method worldwide.

What is a Workshow?
It's the format of Jack's keynotes: a talk where the core idea is proven with live magic and the audience takes part. People don't just hear it, they live it, so they remember it and apply it.
Can the keynote be combined with a workshop?
Yes. The keynote inspires; the workshop turns it into commitments. After the event, Jack can facilitate an LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshop with the same team to turn the idea into concrete decisions.
