Vinh Giang's Biography

Vinh Giang is an entrepreneur who knows what it takes to lead and sell ideas. As a Young Entrepreneur of the Year and award-winning magician, Vinh has found success in sharing three key business ideas and demonstrates them using the art of magic with on-stage audience participation.

By creating a fun and highly entertaining atmosphere of illusion, each key business concept is driven home in a truly profound and creative manner. Each keynote speaking engagement is a carefully crafted performance, creating the most powerful emotional experience for attendees making the conference theme stick in the minds of the audience members long after the event is over.

Vinh is fascinated with the psychology behind the mysterious art of magic, and has devoted himself to understanding the ways in which people are fooled not only by illusions, but by the tricks that life plays on us, and that we play on ourselves.

Vinh has discovered the many common threads between the two, and has learned that understanding one can unlock the secrets of the other. He now uses magic as a vehicle to demonstrate how we can fall victim to negative thinking, and how this can be avoided in both our business and personal lives.

As an online entrepreneur, Vinh left his career in accounting in 2011 to pursue online business. He started this journey in the garage of his investment property with two of his best friends: Lenny and Jeff. They struggled for 12 months losing the majority of their savings, not to mention they all had individual mortgages; but against all odds it was mid December when they made their big break. Within one month they made over $30,000! They were now able to pay off many of their maximized credit cards and take a breath. The business kept growing and financially set Vinh free, and this has enabled him to do what he loves most in life:  Speaking about the psychology behind Magic to create positive change.

As a child, Vinh's family was very poor and couldn’t even afford presents during celebrations and festivals. However, every year after Chinese/Vietnamese new years there would be many packets of playing cards left over from traditional games the families would play. These packets of cards became the presents for the kids all through out the year: Christmas, Birthdays, Easter and the Mid Autumn Festival. Vinh would always receive a packet of playing cards as a gift, and the most beautiful thing about being a child is their incredible imagination. Vinh built castles with the cards, he played every single card game possible and even made up some of his own games, but one day a librarian gave him a book. A book that changed his life… It was his first magic book. Since that day Vinh has been obsessed and completely in LOVE with Magic. He started with the simplest of card tricks and started working his way up to finger-breaking sleight of hand.

There are common threads between the worlds of business and magic. Timing. Practice. Skills. Connection. Momentum. Persuasion. Perspective. Influence. Vinh has made the art of weaving those threads into messages that matter his life’s work. His goal is to move your audience to take life and career changing action. To inspire them, lift them up – and leave them with a feeling of wonder and empowerment. To see the possible in the impossible. To feel the magic in the metaphors and to find the solutions that set success in motion.

For more than 15 years Vinh has pursued his passion for MAGIC. This mesmerizing, mysterious art form has the ability to compel audiences to shift perspectives, suspend disbelief, entertain with wonder, and inspire people in extraordinary ways. It is his exciting privilege to share this fascinating art with people all over the globe. He was honored to perform at The Fringe from 2012-2015, and to have won Top Reviewed Show and Top Voted for Show.

Speaking Topics Include

“Rather a mind opened by wonder, than one closed by belief”

This is by far Vinh’s most popular talk, where he performs and speaks about the 5 different areas of magic, and then links this seamlessly to psychology. When the audience can see the psychological deception taking place in magic they will be able to immediately see the deception we create within our own lives/businesses. This keynote will dispel negative beliefs and empower your audience to believe that anything in life is possible. 

The power of Influence

With this topic Vinh will take you exclusively behind the scenes and show you how magicians are able to influence their spectators in an incredible way. It is through this demonstration that Vinh will pose the question: “Who is influencing you in your life?” and “Are your decisions really your own?”. Vinh will show you techniques on how to block out negative influence and how to gain and maintain a positive mind set. Imagine just for a moment that you "got up on the right side of the bed” every single day for the next 3 months. How would that change your life? How would that change your business? Mindset is everything.

Perspective – Seeing through the illusions in business

Here Vinh will present the audience with several Magic performances, and invite the audience to offer their solutions to the Magic. In going through this process everyone will learn quickly that perspective is the key to solving any problem. After all, Magic is just a problem that the general public do not have the solution to. While it may appear complicated, remember that magic tricks are problems specifically designed to never be solved. Now if you can get a small insight into how to solve magic tricks, imagine the clarity you will take into the other problems in your life/business. Magicians are great problem solvers, it is a skill that we inherit as a result of learning such a secretive art for many years.

Misdirection – How false beliefs can stunt your potential

This is one of the biggest areas in the art of Magic. Through a visual demonstration, Vinh will take everyone in the audience through a series of magic effects to show them how easily one can be misled. Vinh will then take you deep inside the psychology behind the art of magic to show and prove to the audience that your negative beliefs, no matter what they are – do not exist. Vinh will show your audiences how to overcome misdirection in life and business. With this mindset your audience will realize that there are no limits to what they can achieve in business or life! It is only with this mindset that magicians are able to create “Magic”. Let Vinh help you and your team create Magic with what you do in business.

Communicating virtually - COVID19 has forced us into a world where virtual communication has completely taken over. Instead of your team connecting with their peers in person, most are now connecting virtually all the time. Vinh's session gives your team a special skill set to enhance their virtual communication for even greater collaboration.
