Over the last twenty years, Joe M. Turner has shared his magic and mentalism with millions of people in theatres, on television, on cruise ships, at trade shows, and as a keynote speaker at conferences both in the United States and internationally. A former manager in a Big 6 consulting firm, Joe combines his corporate acumen and theatrical talents to help organizations create amazing experiences for their own audiences.
Joe served as the 2015-2016 International President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the largest association in magic with roughly 10,000 members across 88 countries. He has written reviews of magic instructional materials for Genii Magazine since 2001, influencing a generation of magicians with his opinions on good magic and good teaching. He has won several magic awards that you’ve never heard of, but he’s proud of them all the same.
Joe has a B.S. (Summa Cum Laude) in Physics & Chemistry Education from Mississippi State University. He is a member of the National Speakers Association, Mensa, the London Magic Circle, and the Academy of Magical Arts. He and his wife Rosemary have a daughter, Hayley, and a son, Preston. When not engaged in magic, speaking, or family activities, Joe is likely to be at a piano exploring his love of early 20th century standards and showtunes.
