The Magic of Our Senses
Our senses allow us to experience the world. We see, we feel, we taste, and we touch the environment around us thanks to them. Without our senses, we would be unable to enjoy life with our friends and family. But should we have blind faith in our senses? For centuries, magicians have played with our minds, as well as our senses. They manipulate them to amaze us. Until recently, scientists were unable to explain how our brains and senses functioned under the influence of magic. They now have a better understanding of the subject. To help your guests discover these findings, Alex Si guides them on a journey within our brain. In this educational and entertaining conference-show, Alex explores and explains how our brains react during a magic performance, why our senses can be deceived, thus creating a new reality where anything becomes possible. The content of this conference-show is largely based on the work of Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen Macnick, two neuroscientists who have worked with renowned magicians to better understand how our senses can be deceived, whether it be our sight, our assumptions, or the management of our attention.

Remember! Use Your Memory the Right Way
Have you ever forgotten the code to your professional card? Have you ever forgotten the name of a prospect you met just a few minutes ago? Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you entered? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in luck! Alex Si, a mentalist magician and speaker, offers you an entertaining and inspiring show-conference to improve your memory. Alex begins by demonstrating that we all possess a powerful memory. However, we generally use it in the wrong way or with the wrong tools! (Which is normal because we were never taught how our memory systems – yes, plural! – work.) He teaches several memorization techniques to your guests, so that they can effectively remember faces, first names, numbers, or speeches when they leave the conference. Of course, Alex will first demonstrate these techniques. He also shares stories and facts about memory champions and ancient Greek figures, allowing your guests to better understand the origins of these techniques and how they can still be useful in an age where we have delegated our memories, knowledge, and contacts to our smartphones.

Decide Without Falling into the Traps of Your Brain
Bet on a new technology or wait for it to prove itself? Develop new software or improve the existing one? Launch a new product or increase current marketing actions? We all make decisions daily. Often they are simple: obvious solutions, known context, predictable results. But frequently, we also face more complex decisions: incomplete solutions, uncertain or even unknown context, unpredictable results. What if you didn’t have all the cards in hand to decide with full knowledge? What if your brain played tricks on you daily and prevented you from seeing certain cards? What if all of this was so automatic that you were already unconsciously a victim? As a mentalist magician, Alex has studied and exploited, during his shows, a combination of these thought automatons to give you an extraordinary experience. In this conference-show, he unveils how our brain deceives us daily, explains to your participants how to counter these reasoning illusions, and thus allows them to avoid the traps that await them during their decision-making. The content of this conference-show is based on works in behavioral psychology (notably those of Daniel Kahneman on cognitive biases), behavioral economics (notably those of Dan Ariely on our predictable irrationality), and influence psychology (notably those of Robert Cialdini, Robert-Vincent Joule, and Jean-Léon Beauvois).

Magician-Mentalist and Master of Ceremonies
Far from clichés, card tricks, and coins seen and reviewed a thousand times, Alex Si offers magical experiences that are both unique, entertaining, and artistic. He loves to combine inspiring ideas with his breathtaking magic, in order to cast a spell filled with energy and wonder over his audience. As a master of ceremonies during your conferences, he adds magic and entertainment to the event. His specialty is to be clear, precise, and energizing. For Alex, the best master of ceremonies is the one who smooths the event, guiding participants gracefully, and certainly not the one who tries to shine more than the stars of the event. When a problem arises, he knows how to nuance it by entertaining the participants. The next part will come before they even realize any hitch or downtime! With 15 years of experience as an expert IT engineer and technologist in various companies (France Télécom / Orange, Société Générale BDDF, SFR-Cegetel-Bouygues, Haulogy, BNP Paribas Asset Management), Alex is completely at ease during events where technology or computer science is the key topic. He has also advised and helped some start-ups with their technological challenges. Through these experiences, Alex has developed a taste for innovation and the processes of creation and ideation. Alongside his career, Alex has been studying magic for over 10 years with master magicians, traveling as far as Las Vegas to attend the teachings of the McBride Magic & Mystery School, the most prestigious magic school in the world according to the BBC, of which he was named Ambassador in 2018. His other areas of expertise are the psychology and (neuro)sciences underlying the art of magic and mentalism, and their application in everyday decision-making, innovation, or communication, and in developing skills such as memory. He can also adapt to your theme, creating a link between his expertise and your subjects. Finally, English poses no difficulty for him. What was a necessity as an IT engineer has become his language of study with his master magicians, and his working language during international events.
