128 Countries, from the USA to Russia to Iceland. Every major city in the world from Singapore to Istanbul. Wolfgang is one of a handful of magicians who has achieved fame & fortune by following his dream. To describe his shows' content as "magic tricks" would be akin to saying, “Mozart had a few catchy tunes!” "Magician" is definitely not the word that describes him. Incredible tricks designed around your company needs, coupled with a business suit and sophisticated, up-market, tasteful and passionate presentations, make him arguably one of the top corporate magicians in the world!
The author of over 20 books and honorary member of some of the oldest and most prestigious magical societies globally, he has lectured and shared his successes with the London Magic Circle, Hollywood’s Academy of Magic Arts and performed regularly at the Magic Castle. He is the only South African magician contracted by The Magical Academy of Arts in Hollywood to have ever done this and is the most successful magician in the history of South Africa and the entire African continent. He can be considered a "professor" in his field with hundreds of articles written for many of the most established magical publications in the USA and England.
Besides appearing in leading theaters, international hotel chains, London’s West End and spectacular Vegas & Broadway production shows, he has also played global hot spots for the British forces. He is one of a handful of magicians who boasts many of his own TV shows from BBC to ETV to SABC. He has appeared in motion pictures, TV commercials and worked on the world’s top 5-star-plus cruise liners as a headline act, including Princess Cruises (Love Boat), Cunard’s QE2 & Vistafjord, Hapag Lloyd’s Hanseatic & Bremen, Crystal Cruises Crystal Symphony and many others.
Clever humour and comedy, combined with mind-blowing magical effects, have resulted in him working for most of the top-500 blue chip companies globally. In fact, his review list looks like the “Who's Who” in the corporate industry. Company products, branding and corporate messages included in his presentations have made him not only an entertainer, but a consultant as well.
He is not just a TV celebrity. He is part of a select group of entertainers globally who have achieved the status of being the "star" of not one, but numerous of their "own" prime time TV series, amongst which were Abracadabra and Master Magician Wolfgang Riebe.
His global experiences led to the next logical step: to take his entertainment & academic background and give back to society. Hence, he developed numerous inspirational talks based on personal global experiences coupled with teachable, practical life skills which delegates can implement immediately. These include surviving running aground near the North Pole, watching Krakatoa erupt, exploring the Ice Cap in Greenland, diving the Cayman Fault, walking with the penguins in the Antarctic, experiencing the Bermuda Triangle and sailing force-12 hurricanes in the Atlantic. Coupling this with his unique entertainment style makes for unforgettable & informative keynote presentations to whole day training seminars.
Today, he is one of the busiest and most successful speakers and entertainers on the international circuit! He has spoken at the Global Speakers Summit and at most international speaker conferences, including reaching the top of his profession by being elected the 2010 - 12 national president of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa. As a self-made businessman, he also has his Doctorate of Philosophy in Communications.
His shows and talks are often combined with the role of Master of Ceremonies, Continuity Person and Conference Chairman. In today’s “seen it all” corporate environment, what a delight to find an Emcee who is much more than a “link- man.” He is versatile enough to adapt and to change his dialogue & show around your company’s requirements. He is fluent in many languages, with the experience to host your Annual Awards Evening, your 3-day conference and all other corporate events as Speaker, MC and Illusionist.
If you want a success story at your next event, someone that WILL make a difference, Wolfgang will inspire you with his special brand of fine magic and inspiration.
A man that is truly passionate about what he does!
