George Parker is an internationally successful corporate speaker, storyteller, and stand-up illusionist. He has dedicated his life to exploring and inspiring the process of transformation. George's performing and teaching is grounded in his lifelong studies of theories of change in such fields as biology, psychology, physics, philosophy, and organizational management. It is also grounded in his own intentional, practical efforts to explore radical transformation in his own life-efforts that have taken him from studying pedagogics/child psychology (his university degree), to working in health care, then as a programmer/system developer, salesman, trainer, project manager, and consultant. George has performed thousands of shows and keynotes in over 25 countries. He combines high quality conceptual and intellectual content with great entertainment value. As a result, he is one of the most sought-after, busiest corporate speakers. Alongside his corporate work, George has also written and produced four one-man theater shows: The Fifth Element (2006), The Death and Resurrection Show (2009), 52 Cards and a Joker (2012), and The Hero's Journey (2017). He has performed these highly successful shows in many cities, including Las Vegas and London, and he travels internationally to teach magic and lecture for magicians. He is an "at large" faculty member of the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas and has been both a Keynote Presenter (2006) and Guest of Honor (2018) at its annual Magic and Meaning Conference. In addition to his performances and presentations, George Parker is an internationally recognized author.
