The Psychology of Illusion
This keynote is about:
- Creating and cultivating the RIGHT influence in our lives
- How to guide our perspective for true collaboration
- How to challenge our belief systems to enhance our actions
Magic is much more than sleight of hand. It’s the ability to guide perspective, spotlight influence, and challenge belief systems. With humor, heart, and captivating showmanship, Vinh Giang transforms these three powerful components and shares how creating and cultivating the RIGHT influence in our lives can make the difference between tremendous success or limited mediocrity. What we know in this world is that everything that once seemed impossible can be reimagined and overcome. It takes suspending old belief systems. Unlocking mindsets. Innovating. Deliberate and definitive action. And yes, even a little magic. Invite wonder and unlock limitless potential in your team by inviting Vinh to speak at your next event.
Vinh will present on 3 of the following ideas during his talk:
- Perspective - collaboration is the key to success - Video - A Problem You Can't Solve
- Influence - you are the direct reflection of the top 5 people you spend time with - Video - Craft The Person You Become
- Anything is Possible - your beliefs dictate your actions - Video - Everything is Possible
- Goal Setting - how can you hope to hit a target you cannot see? Let alone a target you do not have? - Video - Finding What You Love
- Thinking Differently - rather a mind opened by wonder, than one closed by negative beliefs
- Misdirection - it's not what you see that counts, it's how you choose to look at it
- Showmanship - people will forget what you said or did, but never how you made them feel
The Leaders Instrument - Amplify the Best Parts of You
This keynote is about:
- Learning to use your ‘instrument’ – our ability to communicate and connect - in a masterful way

That’s the question Vinh Giang helps to answer for influential leadership professionals around the globe. In this powerful keynote, he shares the value of learning to use your ‘instrument’ – our ability to communicate and connect -- in a masterful way. Most of our life experiences both professionally and personally are based around relationships, and those relationships affect the quality of our business and life. When you learn verbal and non-verbal communication skills in depth, you build deeper connections with others. The better you get at using your instrument, the better quality of life you’ll have.
If you are ready to bring powerful business and life-changing communication skills to your team, this is the topic for you.

About Vinh
With only 6 months to graduate, Vinh Giang left his degree in commerce and law to become an online magic teacher ultimately building a hugely successful online business, 52kards, which now serves over 800,000 students all around the world. This earned him the award of Top Young Entrepreneur in Australia.
Vinh Giang’s real magic journey began when he finally understood what Robert Houdin (an amazing magician) meant when he said: “A magician is an actor playing the part of the magician.” Once Vinh understood the meaning behind this quote, he focused all his energy on studying the art of performance and not the art of presentation. He has spent the last 15 years mastering the art of performance-enhanced communication, helping thousands of professionals worldwide to learn these skills.
Vinh is also the CEO of Luminary Productions which produces exceptional video for individuals and companies all around the globe.
Vinh’s presentation will bring out the magic in you!
“I believe that magicians are salespeople; they sell one of the most difficult products in the world. They sell magic – they sell the illusion. The way they’re able to sell magic is by working ridiculously hard. It takes thousands and thousands of hours to be able to sell the illusion, to be able to really sell the magic. Imagine if you applied the same mindset to your company – imagine if you applied the same dedication to your business – think about what you could achieve.” – Vinh Giang

Hands down the most engaging session I've ever attended.
Hands down the most engaging session I've ever attended. While Vinh's communication techniques clearly helped with engagement, the actual demonstrations of the difference between techniques and encouraging participation was what really helped solidify the content in my mind.

Vinh delivered a fantastic keynote and an even more powerful follow-up Master Class at WEC!
His content was strong and his message was completely aligned with the theme we were trying to convey at MPI’s WEC. His message was perfect for this audience and our theme and the anecdotal feedback so far has been very positive. I had several people coming to find me to tell me that they absolutely loved Vinh’s sessions.
MPI - WEC19
I found his presentation to be astounding!
Vinh Giang was simply amazing. His ability to weave his message into the illusions was so creative. I found his presentation to be astounding and wished for more.
National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA)
You are very special Vinh. You make connections and you make people believe in not only you… but more importantly themselves.
You had everyone in awe. It didn’t matter who I talked to… participants, coaches, support staff, AV crew, leaders, and our team (and likely any creature that was present) shared how impactful your presentation was. Thank you for sharing “YOU”. We built something EPIC together. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive and our team’s inbox and Teams channel is pouring over with the kudos and you are a large part of that. In fact we received a score of 4.8 out of 5.0 on a question “I would recommend this event to future Microsoft Aspire participants. We have never gotten that score. One quote at the end of the session hit me positively and emotionally. He shared “I came alone, and am leaving with a family”. Let that sink in… you are a part of that family and created that environment.
You poured yourself into the presentation and were gracious enough to connect with them over lunch. You are very special Vinh. You make connections and you make people believe in not only you… but more importantly themselves.
You have created fans and myself and our team now wants you at every single one of our events in the future.

Vinh Giang - Reviews
Associations
Vinh Giang was gracious, kind and really “wowed” our audience. It was excellent. From the point of arrival to his departure he was so incredibly enthusiastic and presentation resonated with the audience. He had a 30+ minute meaningful conversation with approximately 1/3 of the group afterward.
Mas Tadesse, American Dental Education Association
"Vinh Giang. He was simply amazing. His ability to weave his message into the illusions was so creative. I found his presentation to be astounding and wished for more."
"Vinh's "You are the top 5 people you hang out with" hit home - on both a personal and professional level. I have already told several people that, and it so simple, but something that never really hit home until now."
"His presentation about "perspective" helped me open my eyes that I see my limited perspective as a weakness, but he helped me see that is everyone's challenge. We just need to take a step back and utilize our resources provided...each other."

His ability to captivate the audience’s attention and keep them engaged the whole time was incredible, especially considering most of the audience was probably exhausted from three days of hard conferencing in New Orleans.

What I mean by Technical SKE, is it stands for Skill, Knowledge and Experience. And again, this is a false belief, and I'll show you why in a moment. But magicians believed that for us to become extremely successful in our careers, we need to have great technical knowledge, great technical skill, and great technical experience. And look, this is true. But it's not the complete picture. There's another ingredient you need.
However, because of this belief, magicians spend thousands of hours working on their sleight of hand. So if you join me on another camera for a moment, I'm going to give you a bit of an experience of what sleight of hand and technical ability alone looks like.
If you were here, I'd love to allow you to inspect these cards, and you could shuffle them yourselves. But unfortunately, you're not here. So I'm going to have to shuffle them on your behalf. Now, one of the most difficult things to do sleight of hand wise is to locate all the aces in the pack. So in a shuffled pack, you'll notice there's an ace there, there's an ace, towards the middle, there's an ace to kind of towards the front. And then there's another one somewhere that I have didn't happen to see. But there are four aces. And the idea of this is you give the packet of cards to somebody else, they shuffle it, they give it back to you, you have to locate them in an extremely difficult piece of sleight of hand. So just with technical skill, I will show you what that looks like.
Just like this, this is just technical skill alone, nothing else. And with this, what you have to take away from that is hopefully you can already see that technical skill, technical knowledge, technical experience alone is not enough, especially in the world of magic. And I'm going to relate it to your world in just a moment. But let me prove it to you that this is not enough.
Just having this ingredient is not enough. It's still missing one more ingredient and I'll prove it to you with the following analogy. You see, you may be a 10 out of 10 at what you do technically. However, if your ability to communicate is a 2 out of 10, do you think people then perceive you to be a 10 out of 10? Or just a two out of 10? The reality is you are only as good as you can communicate.
So what that means is you may be an expert. You may have all the value trapped inside of you. But if you cannot communicate that with clarity across to another human being, they will not be able to see your value.
