Professional Magician; Speaker on Empathy & Wellbeing

REQUEST BOOKING INFORMATION

Dan Trommater Biography

Dan Trommater is a professional magician and speaker who creates an atmosphere where thinking shifts from the ordinary, leading participants to find new approaches and solutions to their work. Through the use of world-class magic, interactive exercises, and optical illusions, Trommater challenges assumptions and provides practical tools to apply the magician’s mindset to your work.

Empathy is at the center of Trommater's work, as he believes that empathy is a learned skill that helps people become better leaders, team members, and communicators.

For nearly two decades, Trommater has practiced magic as both a form of entertainment and a communication tool. He’s traveled across North America working with organizations that want to shift their perspectives and is a frequent performer at the Magic Castle, one of the world’s most prestigious magic performance venues.

Prior to becoming a magician, he received a B.F.A. in photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and taught college-level photography courses. Trommater is an avid outdoorsman who can start a fire by rubbing two or more sticks together, as well as an amateur luthier -- ask him about his cigar-box guitars.

Speaking Topics
  • The Science of Well-Being: Thriving Through Positive Psychology

    In an increasingly complex and hectic world, people are becoming more and more stressed, depressed, and overwhelmed. Fortunately, the field of positive psychology provides us with tools to counter these trends so we can flourish.

    Well-being expert Dan Trommater speaks from experience. He’s applied positive psychology in his own life to overcome setbacks, and is passionate about sharing the life-changing techniques with the world.

    Based on rigorous scientific research, the field of Positive Psychology is devoted to the study of what makes for a flourishing life. In this fun and informative presentation, Dan will explain the PERMAH model (Positivity, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement, and Health) and show how you can put it to use at work and home. And since Dan is also a world-class magician, he’ll use some powerful magic as visual metaphors to illustrate the transformative power of this exciting field.

    Moving beyond the science, you’ll get hands-on experience with practical tools and techniques to help you not only survive, but thrive.

  • Empathy, Vulnerability, and Gratitude: Essential Skills for Teams, Leaders and Managers

    Every organization has people with job-specific ‘hard skills’ to get the work done. But no matter how competent staff is at the nuts and bolts of their roles, those technical abilities aren’t enough to make for a thriving, collaborative workplace. For that, we need to focus on ‘soft’ skills to create a positive environment and forge real connections between colleagues, leadership, and clients.

    Well-being expert (and world-class magician) Dan Trommater has spent his career helping people tap into these overlooked skills.

    In this program, whether it’s an interactive keynote presentation or hands-on workshop, participants will explore the value of empathy (to create better solutions for others), vulnerability (to forge deeper, more authentic relationships), and gratitude (to build a more positive atmosphere.) Dan will present compelling demonstrations and data from the field of positive psychology to show just how transformative these concepts can be.

    These crucial soft skills amplify teams’ job-specific skills and lead to a more collaborative, positive, and productive workplace.

  • Empathy’s Magic Power: The Key to Clear Communication and Compelling Leadership

    What if you could magically see the world through someone else’s eyes?

    In our increasingly individualized society, it can be so easy to forget that your ‘truth’ isn’t universal. What’s obvious to you might be invisible to others (and vice-versa.)

    With over 20 years of experience creating and delivering presentations for a wide spectrum of audiences; speaker, well-being expert, and professional magician Dan Trommater understands the vital importance of seeing the world from others’ perspectives.

    In this program, Dan will use magic, optical illusions, and interactive exercises to illustrate the transformative power of empathy. He’ll demonstrate the fallibility of our narrow perspective and teach practical tools to widen our understanding of others’ needs and motivations.

    This thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging program will empower participants to see the world from fresh perspectives, unlocking new levels of leadership, communication, and collaboration.

  • We’ve Always Done It That Way: Challenge Assumptions and Embrace the Growth Mindset

    The world is changing. “We’ve always done it that way” doesn’t cut it. The thinking, processes, and attitudes that got us where we are have served their purpose. Now it’s time to shift our thinking and take the next steps to succeed.

    As an educator, trainer, and world-class magician, Dan Trommater has been helping people challenge deeply held assumptions for over 20 years.

    Dan uses eye-popping magic, stories, and optical illusions as powerful visual metaphors to grab you by the brain and gently shake. This is not only thoroughly engaging and a lot of fun, it empowers each person in the room to apply the learning in their own lives.

    As part of this interactive presentation, Dan shares insights on the growth mindset to help leaders, managers, and team members shift their attention from the limits of “problems” to the untapped potential of “possibilities.”
