344: Connecting with David Hira

David Hira connects with his audience. He knows how to "break the fourth wall" between the stage and the audience. It is a skill that has been honed and refined over decades of performing experience and literally (not figuratively) HUNDREDS of shows per year. David has transitioned from magic to keynote speaking and taken his skill across the country and indeed, the globe.

David Hira is not a "celebrity name" that every magician knows. But after his recent lecture on Penguin Magic and this podcast, perhaps you will not forget him. For indeed, you will learn and use his ideas for being a better performer and business person.

David Hira as a magician.

David Hira as a keynote motivational speaker gets to evoke laughter, smiles and astonishment.

David may be one of those guys who ?flies beneath the radar" of other magicians because he is "out there" working and not trying to promote himself to his magic peers through convention appearances. But now that he is reaching the retirement age, David plans to slow down and...well, that's what will be the surprise near the end of this podcast. He reveals plans for his "next move"...both figuratively and literally.

In this podcast, David talks about his printed Introduction Form that he gives to the speaker who will introduce him. You can download this FREE gift from David by Clicking Here.
