Joe M. Turner (born November 23, 1969) is an American corporate magician, mentalist, and a frequent keynote speaker at conferences and other gatherings.[1] Based in both Memphis and Atlanta, he is primarily active in the field of corporate magic and is known for customizing his magic for conferences, meetings, keynote speeches, trade shows, product launches, and other kinds of corporate events.[2] He frequently incorporates sleight-of-hand, escape magic, and mentalism into keynote addresses as a motivational speaker for corporate and private groups, speaking on topics of customer experience, brand engagement, memory training, change management, and creativity. He has appeared on CNN[3] and network television programs in Europe and South America.
Turner is recognized within the magic industry as a columnist for Genii magazine[4][5] and for serving as the 2015-2016 International President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He is the first native Mississippian to perform in all three showrooms at the Magic Castle[6] in Hollywood, California. He has appeared at Monday Night Magic in New York City, at House of Cards in Nashville, and at the Dickens Parlor Theater at the Tropicana Atlantic City and in its later form as a standalone theater in Delaware. He was voted Greater Atlanta Magician of the Year for 2000, 2010, and 2013, and FEA Atlanta Magician of the Year for 2009. His primary performance expertise is in the field of sleight-of-hand card magic, mentalism, and magic as a communication tool.
Turner and his wife have two grown children and live in west Tennessee.
