Craig Karges | Motivational Illusionist

Take your next event out of the ordinary and into the realm of the extraordinary with extraordinist Craig Karges!

Craig Karges has become incredibly popular with corporate and association audiences for his ability to blend entertainment, message, and motivation in one unforgettable presentation.

Karges is not just an entertainer and he is much more than a speaker. As a speaker, he has been honored by the National Speakers Association (NSA) with the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, a recognition bestowed on less than 10% of NSA’s 4,000 members and the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame Award.

In the entertainment arena, “Performance Magazine,” the international touring talent weekly, named Karges’ touring show one of the top five variety / family shows in the country. Karges was in good company as the list also included the likes of illusionist David Copperfield and Walt Disney’s World on Ice.

Performance Magazine called the extraordinist’s performance “The next era in mystery entertainment.” American Entertainment Magazine named him one of the top five variety entertainers on the corporate circuit.

In a shift of focus from entertainment to empowerment, Craig Karges created Ignite Your Intuition. This one-of-a-kind presentation does more than simply amaze and entertain.

Participants learn memory techniques; their intuition is tested; and they are taught how to tap into their subconscious mind to enhance creativity, intuition and decision making.

Ignite Your Intuition allows participants to experience greater personal power and achieve success more easily.
