Gary – just a note to thank you for a fantastic presentation at our recent Country Conference. It was a great way to conclude the conference – a real wake up call, very entertaining and with a lot of practical information for our people. I’d be happy to recommend you to anyone who’s looking for a highly entertaining speaker who can show them how to build better customer relationships.
Raine & Horne
Gary’s use of magic was very well received, bringing fun and laughter in addition to some important messages. I would recommend Gary to any organisation who is trying to improve communications and effectiveness in the workplace.
Land Services Group
As speaker coordinator of the conference, I slotted Gary in at the end of what had been a full-on day. Gary didn’t let me down - his performance is truly "magic". Having the ability to relax his audience, but at the same time getting his message across. Immediately following Gary’s performance he was approached by a Queenslander asking him to go to Queensland to perform.
Bowen Therapy Conference
We are always looking for people who can help us to get better at what we do and your presentation was just what we needed. Very funny and very useful - your ideas on how we can build trust with our clients were practical and very relevant to our industry. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else who needs a highly entertaining and engaging speaker.
First National Real Estate
Thank you Gary – I received many comments about how entertaining, funny and informative you were, so thank you very much. When we were looking at possible guest speakers we wanted someone who could build on the themes of our conference but do so in a light and entertaining way. I am delighted to say that you succeeded admirably on both fronts. The use of magic visually enhanced the points being made. It is a novel but highly effective presentation method. We would not hesitate in engaging your services again for similar events.

Thank you once again for an outstanding job and I look forward to engaging your services again in the future.

It is with pleasure I would recommend Gary Edwards for the facilitation of any event. Gary is able to establish an environment that allows people to become comfortable and willing participants in the aims that have been established for the day. I had many staff speak with me during and after the staff conference complimenting Gary on his professional approach. Gary's openness and willingness to achieve has certainly proved its worth for my organisation.
Department for Families and Communities
Thanks for a great evening...I enjoyed myself immensely, I don’t think I have laughed so much for a long time!…I would have no hesitation in referring you.
Business Club
Due to Gary’s involvement with the organising committee, several new initiatives resulted including the inclusion of a 90 minute hypothetical session, fully devised and coordinated by Gary, a professional MC for the total event including technical, trades exhibitions and official social functions. Gary’s skills as an MC gained nothing but very positive praise and feedback and his abilities to simultaneously entertain with magic was extremely well received. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary Edwards to any organisation requiring a similar role.

Former Head, School of Leadership and Management SA Police
Their feedback about their day with you was overwhelmingly positive… they thought you were excellent and they would have liked more time with you.
International Business Program Coordinator University of Adelaide
Gary varied his presentation and facilitation style throughout the day according to the topic and the point in time. He was able to engender an atmosphere of trust through his personal style, using a range of mechanisms including humour, magic, and personal anecdotes where appropriate, and a very accessible, engaging communication style. He moved the diverse staff group through information, discussion and workshop sessions very competently, breaking the process down into appropriate chunks to enable the staff to feel fully involved. This resulted in clear outcomes from the day, a clear action strategy, and a very high level of satisfaction and enjoyment from the staff group. The Managers’ group is particularly pleased with the day’s process and outcomes, and would recommend Gary for any large group work ranging from strategic direction setting, to more personal processes.
