Corporate Team Building
An unforgettable corporate team-building workshop led by two award-winning professional magicians.
Develop creativity, resilience, resourcefulness, storytelling and engaging leadership through a magician’s unique professional perspective.
Join two of the UK’s most successful magicians as they reveal the transferable mindset and professional capabilities their extraordinary work demands. Fergus was named Virtual Magician of the Year by The Magic Circle.
Through a powerful and highly engaging workshop, your team will explore how magicians initiate creativity, solve problems resourcefully, manage anxiety, tell emotionally engaging stories, perform with impact and keep moving beyond perceived limitations. It is a shared learning experience designed to surprise, energise and bring people together.
Think like a magician. Perform like a leader.
TalkMagic’s corporate team building workshop brings the hidden professional mindset of magicians into the corporate world. Fergus and Neb combine extraordinary live magic, compelling stories and an interactive learning experience to reveal why their profession demands such a powerful combination of creativity, resilience, resourcefulness and human connection.
The workshop is accessible, inclusive and designed for people at every level of an organisation. Nobody is taught how to perform magic tricks. Instead, the focus is on the valuable capabilities magicians develop to do their work, and how those capabilities can help people think, communicate and lead differently.
A team experience with real learning outcomes
This is more than corporate entertainment. It is a learning and development experience built around the transferable capabilities professional magicians rely on: generating original ideas, making limited resources work harder, remaining composed under pressure and turning an intention into an engaging performance.
- Initiating creativity and approaching problems resourcefully
- Developing resilience and moving beyond perceived barriers
- Using storytelling to make ideas emotional, engaging and memorable
- Managing anxiety and performing with presence and impact
- Communicating authentically and becoming more engaging leaders
Who is the workshop for?
The workshop suits leadership teams, graduate programmes, established departments, cross-functional groups and company-wide learning events. It can support an away day, conference programme, culture event, learning and development initiative or team celebration.
TalkMagic has delivered corporate team building workshops for organisations including Amazon, Google, HSBC, Linklaters and KPMG, working with audiences from C-suite leaders to graduate cohorts. You can also read feedback from TalkMagic clients. The session is shaped around your people, event objectives and desired tone.
Why magic works for corporate team building
Magic creates immediate curiosity and attention. It gives Fergus and Neb a vivid, credible way to explore capabilities that can otherwise feel abstract. Because the perspective is unexpected and emotionally engaging, the learning is easier to remember. Colleagues also gain ideas and moments they continue discussing after the event.
Professional magicians rely on a surprisingly broad range of workplace skills: creative problem-solving, resourcefulness, storytelling, anxiety management, resilience, audience awareness and the ability to perform with impact. Think Like a Magician makes those hidden capabilities relevant and useful to your team without giving away the workshop’s proprietary content.

Frequently asked questions about Corporate Team Building

No. The workshop is about the transferable skills magicians need to succeed, not the mechanics of magic tricks. Live magic provides the lens through which Fergus and Neb explore creativity, resilience, storytelling, anxiety management, performance and resourcefulness.
Can the workshop be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Fergus and Neb learn about your audience, event and objectives beforehand, then shape the language, examples and emphasis to support the outcomes you want.
What will participants take away?
Participants leave with a distinctive new perspective on creativity, creative problem-solving, resilience, storytelling, managing anxiety and performing as an engaging communicator or leader. The precise exercises and workshop journey remain proprietary to TalkMagic.
What types of corporate events does it suit?
Think Like a Magician works well for corporate team building away days, leadership programmes, graduate development, conferences, culture events, learning and development sessions and company celebrations.
