Ben Hanlin is an internationally recognised master illusionist, broadcaster, and engagement strategist who translates the psychology of magic and digital attention into actionable frameworks for modern business leaders. Moving far beyond traditional entertainment, Hanlin has established himself as a leading authority on the mechanics of human connection and strategic communication. By leveraging his deep understanding of behavioural psychology, misdirection, and storytelling, he equips C-suite executives and corporate teams with the proprietary tools necessary to capture, retain, and monetise attention in an increasingly fragmented and distracted business landscape.
Rising to global prominence as the star and creator of ITV2’s award-winning television programme Tricked, Hanlin captivated millions by seamlessly blending grand-scale illusions with hidden-camera reality. His broadcast success extends to international networks including the Discovery Channel, and his resilience and adaptability were further showcased during his celebrated run as a semi-finalist on ITV’s Dancing on Ice. However, his most significant contemporary achievement lies in his mastery of digital disruption. Having cultivated a community of over two million highly engaged followers across social media platforms, Hanlin possesses empirical expertise in algorithmic optimisation, viral content architecture, and the rapid establishment of trust through digital mediums.
In the corporate arena, Hanlin frequently collaborates with global brands, delivering high-impact keynote presentations that bridge the gap between world-class performance and strategic business objectives. His interactive sessions deconstruct the anatomy of a successful illusion, revealing the underlying psychological principles that can be directly applied to advanced sales techniques, high-stakes negotiations, and transformative leadership. By teaching leaders how to engineer “moments of magic” within their client and employee interactions, he drives measurable improvements in brand loyalty and team cohesion.
"Ben presented a superb keynote speech at our school leadership conference. He gave us some fantastic advice on the engagement of people which is invaluable in a people led sector. He was engaging, thought provoking and inspiring. Magic!""
“I knew Ben would be a great speaker but rarely do we get speakers that light up an audience like he did. Not only was Ben’s talk entertaining, it was informative and actionable. He was also nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Don’t waste your time with some boring corporate speaker, hire Ben instead”
“If employee engagement is at the heart of your business, then Ben is able to bring it to life with his enthusiastic approach to simplifying the message. His session was thought provoking and provided useful insights on how we get the best out of our teams. Ben’s varied experiences combined with his ‘own magic’ made sure the sessions were fun but relevant.”
“Ben had the entire audience transfixed from beginning to end! Engagement and connection is something that has been a hot topic for us as it affects every area of the business. Ben tailored his speech to give practical takeaways for everyone and weeks later we are still referencing his points. We will definitely be booking him again!”
“Ben delivered his keynote to our team which focused on engaging your audience, keeping a simple narrative and how to present to a professional standard. They say practice what you preach, and Ben did exactly that! Our team were extremely engaged, the narrative was straight forward with memorable learnings and his presentation style was inspiring. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking to shake up and refresh their teams presenting skills. Awesome session! Thanks again Ben.”
