CUSTOM PRESENTATION

Pickpocket Gene customizes his keynotes to address three to five critical issues, weaving your message into his presentation with magic, comedy, and demonstrations for memorable impact.

TRADE SHOWS

Pickpocket Gene has been a “professional sales entertainer” at trade shows for

over 30 years. Understanding the challenge of attracting and holding the attention

of trade show visitors, Pickpocket Gene developed a unique approach to help develop warm

leads for his clients. Instead of doing one or two long shows every hour, Gene

gathers a group of prospects, presents the message in his entertaining way,

asks qualifying questions and turns the qualified leads over to your

representatives. By doing shorter more frequent presentations, Gene is able to

engage more prospective buyers.

ENTERTAINMENT

Since 1985, Pickpocket Gene has thrilled audiences with his unique blend of magic, humor, and

outrageous pickpocket exploits. His ability to connect with audiences makes him an exceptional

entertainer and speaker. Whether performing his nationally acclaimed stand-up comedy

pickpocket act or his customized “Magic with a Message” keynote, Gene always steals the

show (and a few watches) to everyone’s delight!

PROFESSIONAL EMCEE SERVICES

As a professional emcee, Pickpocket Gene brings energy, charm, and seamless flow to every event he hosts—whether it’s a corporate gala, conference, wedding, product launch, awards night, or community celebration.

With a clear voice, quick wit, and a knack for reading the room, he keeps your audience engaged, your program on track, and your message front and center. Every event is different, and he tailors his tone and style to match yours—whether it’s formal and refined or upbeat and lively.

Testimonials

As the former Manager of Security Awareness at Sprint, I gotta say that Gene Turner has been phenomenal as we do a safety and security event every year. And he is a big hit! People come and they get to learn in a very fun, interactive way about identity theft prevention and just a series of other things on how to stay safe out there because the bottom line is the bad guys. They’re getting smarter, so we must stay one step ahead. Gene Turner makes a fun way of doing that. He really does.

He’s also a great speaker. We’ve had him here for many events. I highly recommend him. He’s always just a fun fun addition to any event.

I’m Jason Langston, former Agribusiness Manager for WD Ag Insurance Services. I had seen Gene at a meeting before and knew we had to have him at our annual function. Gene is entertaining; the crowd really gets into it, and everybody loved him. We received more compliments than we ever had with any speaker at any of our events. Thank you, Gene!

I had so many people coming up to me, telling me how awesome it was and how much valuable information he provided. We had attendees from all over the country and the world, and everything he said resonated with everyone in the crowd. They all thought it was AMAZING!
