Ken Salaz
Magician & Mentalist

Tuesday Keynote: Ken Salaz

bring the "impossible" to your work

Mr. Salaz is one of the world’s premier Corporate Entertainers. His astonishing abilities of Mentalism and Magic have been featured on National Television including “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, and the CBS “Early Show,” to name a few. His client list is filled with A-list celebrities (Jimmy Fallon, Howard Stern, Martha Stewart and Bruce Springsteen, etc), heads of state (Colin Powell) and fortune 500 companies (IBM, Google, etc). He is a unique and rare entertainer because he is able to provide a wide variety of entertainment including Mentalism, Magic, Mind-reading, and Pick Pocketing. His distinctive performing style engenders laughter, awe and wonder at even the closest range. Ordinary objects, under his influence, and with the closest scrutiny, defy the boundaries of conventional logic - a $1.00 bill changes into a $100.00 bill, borrowed objects levitate, and minds are read in the most astounding and sometimes comical fashion.
