Fast Facts
I am an award-winning professional Speaker, Trainer and Entertainer based in London but available everywhere.
Speaker: I add value to conferences and similar events by delivering talks and presentations that are engaging, interesting and useful. My aim is help you to make your event a success.
As well as offering keynotes and informative talks, I can also be your event 'MC' and Host. I also create bespoke presentations: tell me the main points you want your audience to understand and remember... and I'll do the rest!
Trainer: I provide training in a range of subjects that you can read about on this site, such as persuasion and related 'people' skills. Nobody learns anything when they're bored, so I like to keep things lively, fun and memorable.
I offer training for individuals, groups and conference audiences, and I'm happy to prepare a bespoke training package just for you. I emphasise 'active' learning and often include touches of magic -- 'magic as metaphor' can be a great way to get ideas across.
Entertainer: I am a member of The Magic Circle and I have performed all over the world. Many of my clients like the fact that I can offer some entertainment as well as talks and training. For example, I can put on a fun, enjoyable show as a 'curtain raiser' before your main event, or entertain your guests and delegates with close-up magic at the bar or conference venue.

“My FBI Behavioural Analysis Program hired lan to work with and train our team for a full day. He demonstrated and taught us a lot about cold reading and how we could apply it to our work as behavioural analysts. In addition, he covered advanced communication skills, persuasive language and relevant insights into the art of 'misdirection'
At the end of his comprehensive seminar, he entertained our entire team and families with a mindreading show at an evening social. Not only was it great fun, but even today my team is still talking about it. I'd highly recommend lan to anyone who's interested in these subjects and wants a first-class speaker and trainer.”
- Robin Dreeke, former Special Agent and Head of FBI Behavioural Analysis Program
“We had some of the top experts around the globe in their field but when we looked at how people were registering for the conference, and what the attendees wanted, overwhelmingly we saw very large numbers signing up for lan's course. So much so that his class was the largest in the whole session that we had for those three days."
— Chris Hadnagy, Organiser, Human Behaviour Conference
