Gene Turner’s interest in magic began as a hobby in 1976, while employed as an insurance salesman. In using magic to break the ice with his clients, he soon found that they wanted him to perform at parties, in addition to handling their insurance needs. By 1985, Gene found that he was successful enough with his magic to devote himself full time to his real love -- performing. Thus began the rise of one of America’s premiere entertainers. Captivating audiences for more than 20 years since that time, Gene uses his unique style to deliver informative, entertaining presentations and seminars that will delight and educate audiences.

The demand for Gene’s skills as an entertainer and speaker has grown to over 200 events each year, and includes performances for many Fortune 500 companies. He has delighted audiences at meetings, conferences, seminars, and events. He performed at a birthday party for Bette Midler and literally stole the show. His expertise on watch-stealing was featured in a Magic magazine profile. Throughout his professional career, Gene has appeared on countless television and radio programs to demonstrate his magical skills and humor. Recently he served as technical advisor for the movie “BulletProof Monk.”

Gene’s background has given him a unique perspective on the topics of identity theft and personal safety. He has worked in the insurance industry, for the Social Security Administration, in the advertising industry, and is an independent representative for legal services. He understands the methods thieves use to steal your personal information, as he has spent much of his career preparing for his role as Identity Theft Specialist. So, for the past several years, Gene has devoted time to researching and studying this subject of identity theft. He now shares his findings with companies, financial institutions, and the general public through presentations, seminars, and conferences. Last August, Gene gave his presentation at the IntegraSys conference with over 200 credit unions represented in Reno, NV.

Gene travels coast-to-coast yearly, displaying his own special brand of magic, humor, and informative insights on pickpocket information and identity theft. His incredible sleight-of-hand and hilarious comedy are nearly impossible to duplicate and have made him one of the most sought after performers available today. His ability to create “Magic with a Message” has enabled him to perform for groups of all sizes and backgrounds.
