John's mantra in life is that "impossible is just a word"

 

That's no surprise since he's been a professional magician for the past 15 years who performed on America's Got Talent and was nicknamed the Team Magician for the New England Patriots. In addition to being a magician, John is also a team building keynote speaker who demonstrates the importance of perception & creativity in leadership development. But here's the kicker: he uses his background as a magician in his presentations so the audience learns in a memorable way.

"We want more of John Duke Logan! As an event organizer, I have invited John to two of our major events because the audience loves him and it's so easy to work with him. As an audience member, I'm always at awe at how he takes the stage and how he makes his presentations so engaging and memorable. He is easy-going, loves what he does, and has an ability to engage the crowd in an authentic way. I want to see him take on more stages!

He is great! Thank you John!"

"John was top notch and truly the highlight for our national annual conference! He inspires and motivates with his keynote through fast-paced stories and anecdotes, and he strives on communication, organization, relevance, and professionalism. Working with him was a breeze as well. Between the ease in obtaining a blog and personal information for event promotion, through on-site logistics, it was easy and, most of all, FUN. He delighted our guests with his presentation and during our post-event reception. Five stars all around!"

"John was absolutely phenomenal. He is engaging, funny, creative, clever, and has a presence that can own and hold the room from start to finish. From our initial contact to his final performance, my team and I enjoyed working with him and giving our crowd the opportunity to enjoy him. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to bring a new and different experience to their events.

He's a true professional and his show is amazing."

"We had the pleasure of having John perform at our annual corporate event and he was brilliant! He captivated us with his skills & showmanship and he charmed us with his personality. If you are looking for the extraordinary, John is your guy! He is a pure entertainer and motivator!"

- Richard Gaffney | CFO | The Haynes Group -

"What an amazing keynote performance! The attendees were flabbergasted! One of them ran out of the building in amazement! They couldn’t stop talking about it along with my administrators this morning. John was the punctuation mark and provided an amazing closing to our program. He was able to take the many different elements of our program and implement them tactfully into his speech and performance. Funny, smart, quick, personable... John was everything we wanted and more! Round of applause....and I know we will see him again!"

- Ralph Tavares | Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies | Providence College -

"John is amazing! Truly - he is a total package: professional, knowledgeable, funny and clearly passionate about his love for magic. His style has a street magic feel that gets big reactions from his audience whether it be 1:1 or a crowd. Despite just returning from an international trip, he was punctual and mingled throughout the afternoon entertaining our guests. John is truly a master at his craft and his performance is both authentic and flawless. John has charisma that is alluring and keeps you wanting to come back for more. Beyond that, his message Impossible Is Just A Word is authentically motivating and relevant - especially in a time when people, young and old, continue to need to feel inspired in following their hopes and dreams. Before the day of our event, he customized an act that was relevant to a crowd of about fifty guests with ages ranging from young children to older adults (and everything in between). His message 'Impossible Is Just A Word' was neatly incorporated into his act and inspirational to audience members. Everyone walked away mind-blown. Most importantly, he piqued a curiosity for magic for the majority of our guests. So impressive! Since our event, guests have reached out and contacted us to pass along exemplary reviews about John. Kudos! We look forward to having him back at future events. Until then, John Duke Logan has become an official household name and my kiddos can't seem to put his book The Perfect Illusion: Life down. John is an amazing magician who is beyond smoke and mirrors. "

"John has an outstanding positive message for the audience along with amazing magic! He has an excellent talent connecting with people by using compelling stories and motivational speaking."

- Joe Carella | Executive Director | Scandinavian Cultural Center -

"Whether it be challenges they face in their professional lives or personal lives, John opens the audience's eyes to new ways to look at and tackle situations. John brings a lot of energy, emotion, and interesting (yet factual!) logic to his presentations. It's great to see the connections between how magicians incorporate ideas into their tricks and how managers and senior leaders of corporations use the same innovation to remain successful. John's incorporation of magic keeps the audience engaged as well. "

- Brittany Sarza | Actuarial Leadership Development Program | Lincoln Financial Group -

"John is not your average magician - he is a performer and motivational speaker as well. You will spend the entire show smiling with your jaw dropping or laughing as he adds a comic flair to many of his tricks.. all while speaking of how 'impossible is just a word' and you can accomplish anything you dream of with the right mindset. John is incredible and keeps the entire audience engaged throughout his show! He had everyone laughing and falling out of their seats (literally!) in amazement! He is passionate, funny, creative and an amazing speaker. We can't wait to have John back and schedule our next event with him!"

- Lauren Rodday | Director | Hanover Community Events

- Josh McNeil | Attendee | Forbes Under 30 Live Summit -

"John will be an asset to your program and the highlight of your event! He captivates his audience with magic and drives home an important and sincere message that we can accomplish anything with the right mindset and attitude - which still resonates with our Leadership Academy students nearly a year after he came and presented. We love his passion, he is an expert at what he does, and he will undoubtedly change everyone's perspectives on life and achievement.

At his core, John is a solid, compassionate, and gifted person."

"John is very easy to do business with and I would recommend booking him without hesitation! He was an invigorating add to my event! John is extremely responsive, thoughtful, and my guests were reeling, well after he left, about how good he was. My husband has for many years asked about having a magician at one of our events and he simply said of John...'you made my dreams come true'. He has a great sense of humor, warm personality, and is very engaging. He fit right into my group of guests and made everyone feel comfortable. John leaves you doubting your eyes and challenging your sense of reality through his magic. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and he set the tone for that!"

“For our Annual All Staff Meeting, we set out to invest in a speaker for our staff to help them develop as professionals. As a diverse non-profit organization, the YMCA employees staff from all ages and backgrounds. To find a speaker and message that can reach and relate to all is a tall task and that was accomplished through John Logan. John’s message of ‘Impossible is only a word’ hit home with all staff in attendance. His creative and entertaining presentation left the audience wanting more, all while giving them a different look at how strategy and innovation play a huge role in their day to day. John’s presentation was a perfect mix of information, tactics and entertainment that will help the staff of the Foxboro YMCA develop as professionals. I had high expectations for John and he far exceeded them.”

"We could not stop talking about John for the next week after he spoke at our conference! The strategies he taught us and the routines he did were absolutely incredible. He does an amazing job integrating valuable techniques to be more creative while at the same time entertaining the audience. Our team used his five-stage creative process 30 minutes after the presentation and we developed FIVE times the amount of ideas for our new fundraiser than what we normally do! His stage presence and demeanor makes you feel like you've known him your whole life. I overheard one attendee say 'How are we going to top this for next year? This guy is incredible!'"
