Most people are amateurs at deception. They tell white lies to family and friends, exaggerate their accomplishments at work, and yet remain surprisingly poor at recognizing when they themselves are being misled. Dan Chan is a professional magician. For over two decades, he has studied the psychology of deception and mastered the art of spotting predictable blind spots—even in the most intelligent and sophisticated people. He has picked the pockets of law enforcement professionals, coaxed CEOs into revealing their PIN codes, and influenced senior executives at multibillion-dollar companies to unknowingly follow his lead.
As the Millionaires’ Mentalist, Chan has been invited to perform for Silicon Valley’s most accomplished leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Through high-impact entertainment, he gives audiences a rare opportunity to experience the psychology of influence and deception firsthand.
