Hollywood, California; May 2, 2017:

The exclusive Wharton Fellows program has organized a private dinner and special "Think Like A Magician" presentation by David Morey at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. Morey performs cutting-edge magic and uses the art form to help re-ignite audience's imagination.

Morey will be previewing his upcoming book, Making Business Magic (Mango Press 2017), with a performance and presentation applying the principles of magic to challenge assumptions and empower imagination. His upcoming book will be co-authored by Eugene Burger, one of the world's most acclaimed close-up magicians, and John McLaughlin, the former acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and an avid magician.

"Think Like A Magician" is a unique framework capturing the best of magic and relating directly to key creative and innovation lessons for business. It's three large thematic concepts include:

• Leading Change: Imagining what the audience thinks, re-writing marketplace rules, and applying a bold problem-solving approach.
• Thinking Differently: Challenging and changing assumptions to help unlock your memory, reason, and imagination---inspired by Morey's first corporate client, Apple founder Steve Jobs.
• Playing Offense: Absorbing this all-critical principle of strategic and business success today---controlling the competitive dialogue, moving to attack and even exploit challenges, and never playing defense.

David Morey is Chairman and CEO of DMG Global, an international strategic consultancy, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is one of America's leading strategic consultants---and one of the most sought-after speakers, performers, and magicians. Over the years, Morey has advised five Nobel Peace Prize winners and seventeen winning global presidential campaigns---including the historic campaigns of Barack Obama. He's the award-winning author of The Underdog Advantage (McGraw-Hill 2004), and The Leadership Campaign (Career Press 2016).

As a magician, Morey has entertained at the most powerful events, including the Official Inaugural Balls for the 44th President of the United States, and on stages around the world. His corporate clients include GE, Verizon, Pepsi, Mars, KPMG, McDonald's, Microsoft, News Corp., Nike, P&G, Disney, Visa, The Coca-Cola Company, Linked-in, TPG, American Express, NBC, Samsung, Deloitte, and many others.
