Derek Selinger’s intrinsic passion for entertainment stems from his profound understanding of how it influences communication, education, and business dynamics, developed over the past fifteen years. This fervor is not only evident in his work but is also deeply rooted in the transformative impact of several near-death experiences he has bravely navigated throughout his journey. At the age of eight, Derek discovered that his mother had been electrocuted while pregnant with him, a revelation that instilled in him a profound sense of gratitude for the gift of life and a belief in his own resilience.

Harnessing this motivation, Derek began speaking to audiences at just fifteen, eventually addressing crowds numbering in the hundreds and thousands. With a diverse background that includes earning a college degree, advising in post-secondary education, playing college basketball, and coaching winning teams, Derek’s journey led him to mentors in the art of magic and illusion, sparking his evolution into a professional magician, illusionist, and mind reader. Today, Derek Selinger stands as a premier entertainer, captivating corporate audiences across five continents for over a decade. With six international awards to his name and a repertoire that has graced television screens worldwide, including major networks like Discovery, Fox News, CTV, and Global, Derek continues to enchant audiences with his unparalleled skill and charm.
