I want to help you make your event a success. I have years of experience as a speaker, entertainer and bestselling author. I will give you the right combination of information and training, fun and entertainment, with magic and mystery. I perform a stage presentation that blends a variety of techniques. I use psychological forces, intuition, body language, and illusion to pluck thoughts out of your mind, influence the decisions you will make, and mess with your sense of reality. It is all centered around leadership and influence, but the presentation can be customized to fit your needs. I am not available for strolling magic or "table hopping."
If you are looking for someone who can present biblical truth in an engaging way, Daniel is your guy. He is a wealth of knowledge and understanding, but don’t let that scare you. He presents it all in a way that will keep you engaged and entertained, while making sure you leave with practical and applicable steps.

2006 Time Person of the Year*, Christian Magician, Entertainer, Speaker and Author of the bestselling book, "Lead on Purpose."
My name is Daniel Blakeslee, but many call me Dan.
I'm a passionate and enthusiastic speaker, author and magician. I believe speaking and training is my way to serve others. I use my passion for performing illusions as a tool to deliver the message your people need to hear. I have been able to speak to thousands about leadership and Christian themes - many lives have been changed and challenged.
I've spent over 2 decades building my leadership experience beyond training leaders in the US Military; I have been a tenured college professor, lead and executive pastor, non-profit director and author of three books on leadership.
I want to help you get your message across in a fun and entertaining way!
