Devin Henderson is a multi-talented powerhouse who helps organizations make mental barriers disappear so leaders and teams can reach next-level success. As the author of What Else Is Possible?, a two-time Smart Meetings award winner and Certified Speaking Professional – an elite designation held by less than 15% of professional speakers – he delivers keynote experiences audiences call “Unreal,” “Unexpected”, and “Unforgettable.” Devin’s presentations combine powerful illusions with actionable takeaways and a message of profound hope to inspire people to achieve the seemingly impossible.

With accolades including 2010 Stage Magician of the Year and Close-Up Magician of the Year from the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Devin brings unique credibility to the stage. He has spent two decades and thousands of performances mastering the art of making the impossible look effortless, sharing stages with comedy legends like Mike Birbiglia, Sinbad, and Brian Regan.

Devin’s signature philosophy, The Possibility Mindset, asks “What else is possible?” and never stops asking. This approach was forged early. When his father told ten-year-old Devin that achieving 1,000 consecutive soccer juggles was impossible, he kept going anyway—eventually reaching 11,241 kicks. Later, a pivotal moment on the America’s Got Talent stage taught him that failure isn’t a dead end but a fork in the road where you choose your direction. These experiences shaped a philosophy he’s spent two decades living and teaching.

Today, as author of What Else Is Possible? and host of The Possibility Mindset Podcast, Devin works with Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations to create cultures where breakthrough thinking becomes the norm and the seemingly impossible becomes the next win. Whether audiences are celebrating their biggest breakthroughs or facing unprecedented challenges, Devin reminds them that something greater is always possible—no matter what.

Devin lives in Kansas City with his wife Lynn and their beautiful children.

What Else is Possible?

Break Through Mental Barriers to Achieve the Seemingly Impossible

When leaders and teams hit a ceiling—whether at the peak of their success or when they’re
facing new challenges—there’s one question that changes everything: What else is possible?

Through powerful illusions and hard-won insights, Devin reveals how asking this simple
question breaks organizations free from the mental chains that threaten to keep their
potential locked away.

Audiences learn practical frameworks that help them expand their thinking, reimagine what’s achievable, and defy limitations to pursue goals they once thought impossible.

Because when they decide to ask What else is possible? and never stop asking, something
greater is always within reach.

Audiences will gain:
● The tools to ignite untapped potential, spark resilience, and drive transformation.
● The mindset to conquer obstacles that once held them back.
● Renewed confidence to turn adversity to their advantage.
● A deeper understanding of how to create a culture of possibility—at home, at work and beyond.

Share Your Magic

Turn Potential into Purpose for Greater Impact

Every person possesses a unique combination of qualities that drives them to do magnificent
work. This is their magic, and it’s bigger than job titles, status, or personal recognition. When
people discover and share what makes them exceptional, teams are transformed.
Unfortunately, too many talented individuals keep their greatest strengths hidden. Fear and
uncertainty convince them to play it safe instead of contributing their unique gifts to something
greater than themselves.

In this experiential keynote, Devin helps teams learn to channel their individual passions and
strengths into a shared purpose. The result? Organizations where people are excited to contribute, teams function at their highest level, and extraordinary results become inevitable.

Audiences will gain:
● A clear understanding of their unique strengths and how to leverage them for
greater impact.
● The motivation to pursue meaningful work that extends beyond personal recognition.
● A framework for creating cultures where people feel excited to contribute.
● Enhanced employee engagement through authentic contribution.

Magic & Motivation…Delivered Virtually, in an Engaging, Interactive Format.

Devin Henderson’s Featured Keynote Experience, Something Greater is Always Possible, is not only interactive, but takes advantage of the unique interaction opportunities that are only possible in a virtual setting.

How Devin will interact – and engage- with your audience virtually:

 

1. The Magic of “On-Stage Seating”

  • “On Stage Seating” makes your people the star (think: leaders, team members, event participants, etc.). Audiences love to see key individuals on the virtual “hotseat” experiencing a magic/mentalism trick 1-1 with Devin, responding with wide-eyed wonder, and never knowing what will happen next! (see On-Stage Participant picture). As fellow On-Stage and Regular Participants watch on, On-Stage Seating makes everyone feel like they are in the front row of one of the most unforgettable shows they have ever seen.
  • “On Stage Seating” solves a common problem when it comes to engaging, interactive presentations: a) when all participants are muted the entire time, the virtual environment can feel sterile and lifeless, however b) when all participants are unmuted, the background sounds of a large group can quickly turn into auditory chaos and distraction. By having a select number of participants umuted (typically around five), all participants will get to feel like they are part of a powerful shared EXPERIENCE, and the engagement and laughter of the “on-stage seating” participants only makes the group at large respond and engage more with the performance and message.

2. The Magic of Humor

  • Humor is a timeless strategy to build energy and keep audience members, engaged, connected, and part of a unified experience. Humor is artfully woven throughout the presentation. In the virtual space, being able to hear the laughter from the featured On-Stage Seating participants encourages all participants to laugh in key areas where humor highlights the message, reducing stress and inspiring participants to be fully present throughout the presentation.

3. The Magic of an Engaged Chat

  • Devin interacts with the chat throughout the presentation so everyone can enjoy personal interaction with him and each other. There are many questions and prompts given, but see attached for a sampling of comments from the end of a recent virtual show when he asked, “How do you feel now that is different than how you felt at the beginning of the presentation?”

4. The Magic of an Inspiring, Relevant Message

  • This presentation incorporates storytelling elements that audience members routinely say feels relatable, emotional, and like “their story” as if Devin was talking directly to them. This storytelling method allows the key lessons to sink deeper and keeps audience members hanging on every word.

Finally, here are two recent virtual presentation testimonials. A written testimonial from an event planner, below, and a video testimonial that you can view here.

The careful weaving of humor, motivation, mentalism, and magic made for a once in a lifetime experience. And all that via Zoom! I went to a huge HR conference once and Jay Leno was the “special.” I’d pay for Devin over Jay based on last night’s performance any day!”

He had great transitions and it went really smooth. He touched my heart and gave me a new perspective and mindset that now gets me thinking what else is possible. I’d pay just to hear his story, but of course the tricks are a big bonus. Very good and a natural comedian, kind, genuine, very funny and a professional in what he does.”
