Reflecting on a Night of Magic, Mentalism and Mindfulness!

This past Saturday, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to a gathering of 250 banking professionals, where I shared insights into the incredible power of the mind. The focus of my presentation was on how simple acts, like the applause we often take for granted, can transform our biochemistry, turning cortisol, the stress hormone, into oxytocin, a chemical that fosters bonding and positive feelings.

During the event, in addition to the magic, juggling, mind reading, and other various accoutrements, I used golf balls and tees (event was at a golf course) to perform tricks that not only entertained but also vividly demonstrated the principles of focus and present-mindedness—what I like to call "meditation in motion." This approach wasn't just about showcasing magic; it was about inspiring every attendee to discover and engage deeply in activities that ground them in the now.

The evening ended with a standing ovation, a moment of collective appreciation that hopefully transcended beyond applause, inspiring attendees to pursue mastery and find joy in the present moment-THE ONLY MOMENT THAT EVER TRULY ARRIVES!

As I continue to travel and speak, I am reminded of the profound impact that understanding and harnessing the power of our minds can have, not just in our professional lives, but in every aspect of our being, so let's BE AMAZING!
