Strolling magic - used for interactive entertainment that can mix and mingle with crowds. Creating bursts of applauding, laughing, and conversation starters among groups of 2-8 people at a time. Krendl roams around from group to group sparking engagement and memorable feats of magic along with great photo opportunities all along the way. Performing card magic effects, mentalism, telekinesis, and other sleight-of-hand effects.

There are many powerful lessons in this talk ranging from gratitude, letting go, being present, pushing through challenges, power of breath, and more.

Biography
Krendl
Illusionist - Creator - Inspirationalist
Krendl’s enchanted life into the entertainment industry started very humbly at the age of 10 and by age 12 acquired his first regular working gig performing birthday party shows at a local Mcdonald's in a small town of Delphos, OH. Since childhood Krendl has always had a passion for the art of magic and the connection that entertainment can provide to others. Krendl’s drive and passion drove him to the top of his field winning awards, breaking records, and creating new opportunities wherever possible. He has become 1 of only 2 people in t
... he entire world that is able to perform Houdini’s Water Torture Cell in the open, in full view (holding his breath upside down for over 3 minutes at a time). But trying to define Krendl by one impressive feat is like trying to say Disney created an animated mouse named Mickey...there is so much more!
Through childhood, Krendl grew into the art of magic until the age of 19 when he was awarded his first major contract on a cruise ship which led him into a series of additional opportunities from there. In 2000 Krendl setup his magic company as a full-time performer in Virginia Beach, VA. Working closely with the city he was able to acquire numerous awards and performance records. Krendl won the ‘Attraction of the Year Award’, won best in show for 5 years in a row, has become the longest-running headliner in the history of Virginia Beach (17 years and still counting), was the first and only entertainer to win Top 40 under 40 in Hampton Roads, and the list goes on. During this time Krendl’s passion and drive turned into producing entertainment along with creating new shows and content with his magic. He founded Magical Solutions Inc. which became the first agency of its kind, in the region, specializing in novelty and specialty acts, which grew into a lighting design company, which grew into an entertainment staffing company, which grew into being a guest speaker for events, which grew into over 5 years of touring with the largest most successful magic company in the world, The Illusionist Live from Broadway, appearing in over 15 countries around the world.
From performing $5 birthday parties at McDonald's at the age of 12 to creating a magical production company that grossed $1 million per year to performing on some of the most prestigious stages in the world (The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Sydney Opera House in Australia, The Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, and Crocus City Hall in Moscow to name a few), Krendl continues to grow with his passions.
Krendl attributes his success to having a strong foundation into his core beliefs of creating meaning with events and performances, focusing on transforming people’s emotions, and never losing the passion of connecting with people. All of Krendl’s programs and projects have kept this philosophy alive. From empowering children by teaching them magic with meaning, raising over $500,000 for schools and non-profits through his fundraising shows; to working on corporate platforms offering inspiration and ideas for looking at life differently to be happier and overall more successful.
Whether it's magic performances, speaking engagements, or producing entertainment. The KrendlMagic brand is always about creating, transforming, and connecting.
