A Magical Approach to Problem Solving

Thurs., March 13, 7 to 9 p.m.
$30 members $40 non-members

When it comes to solving problems, magician David Ben says we must first eliminate the word “impossible” from our vocabulary. That’s why he takes participants behind the scenes of the world of magic, revealing tricks of the trade that magicians, card cheats, and psychics use to perform the seemingly impossible.

Ben compares the secrets of magic with the secrets of success. He demystifies the problem-solving process, using the metaphor of magic to empower participants with new ideas and techniques that help in creative and pragmatic problem solving.

Ben is a magician, keynote speaker, former tax lawyer, and author of Advantage Play: A Manager’s Guide to Creative Problem Solving.
