Gary the Mentalist

Laughter, fun, and mystery. I'll engage the audience from the stage/front of the room, calling up volunteers throughout the show, similar to a magic show. The routines are all intended intellectual and mind-bending, designed to keep the audience's attention and keep them in suspense and amazement.

Gary S. Chan is a security mentalist, an intellectual who uses game theory and math to predict and influence the future. He is trained in behavioral profiling, conflict management, negotiation, interrogation, and mediation. He is often found as a keynote speaker at conferences and corporate events as well as helping business with their information security strategy and management. He is currently System Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer at a large US-based healthcare system. He has architected anti-fraud systems for state agencies, led the information security teams for a large-cap technology company, and was an evaluator and mentor for cybersecurity start-ups as part of a venture capital fund. He served as President of the FBI St. Louis Citizens Academy Alumni Association and Technology Officer for the Greater St. Louis Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. He holds four security certifications and a degree in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from MIT.

I understand what audio and visual teams need to produce a quality show. I have my event packet ready to go, which includes cues, diagrams, and other instructions for the production crew. If you have no production crew, that's ok, too. I will work with you to create the best possible experience for your audience.
