professional development presentation?
He combined his undergraduate major in Psychology and
concentration in Communications from Keene State College; his
postgraduate
personality development, advertising, marketing, business, sales, and
management
skills from 21 years in the radio broadcasting profession; and his
inherent
passion for entertaining, motivating, and educating with magic, humor,
and
curiosities, to become a professional educational speaker.
BJ
Hickman is credited as having performed 5,000 magic shows
for an estimated 500,000 people. Known as the entertainer who keeps
getting
invited back, he has performed from FirstNight Boston to Hollywood’s
Magic
Castle. In elementary schools throughout New England, his success with
enrichment programs in Reading, Conflict Resolution, Recycling, and
Safety
illustrates the effectiveness of using magic, humor, and entertainment
to
motivate and educate children.
Since
the release of three instructional videos on magic
(highly recommended by the leading magic periodicals), BJ is often
engaged to
lecture to fellow magicians and variety artists about the business of
