“His presentation was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment he took the stage, Craig captivated our audience with his incredible skill, engaging personality, and uncanny ability to seamlessly incorporate our conference theme, Harnessing the Power of Leadership, into his performance. His mastery of mentalism was impressive on its own, but what truly set him apart was his ability to connect with our team on a deeper level. His presentation was not just entertainment – it was an experience that reinforced key leadership principles in a way that will resonate with our organization for years to come. What stood out most was Craig’s commitment to the success of our event. Rather than simply arriving for his performance, he took the time to participate in and observe the sessions throughout the day. His attention to detail, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for our mission made a lasting impact. I wholeheartedly recommend Craig Karges for any corporate event. Whether you are looking for an engaging keynote speaker, an unforgettable performance, or a unique way to reinforce your company’s values, Craig will exceed expectations. He is a consummate professional who brings both inspiration and entertainment, making him an invaluable addition to any event.”

“Recently I was asked to plan a 100 person dinner in Las Vegas with a motivational speaker that would wow our guests and make a great impression. I knew right away that Craig was exactly what we were looking for. Not only was his performance at the event amazing, but his warm and charismatic personality fit right in with our group. I loved the way he incorporated what he does in his performance into our business. While everyone was visibly inspired and awestruck by what they were 'seeing' on stage, you could also tell they were ‘listening’ to what he was saying and how his ideas could impact them professionally. I would absolutely recommend Craig Karges to anyone looking for a speaker that will captivate their audience, and provide an entertaining and thought provoking show that will have people walking away thinking and talking about it days later. I am thankful that Craig agreed to participate in our event, because of him my event was a success and I am still receiving accolades for my skills and choices as a meeting planner.”

“The conundrum is the same every year: how to entertain, energize and engage 3,000 employees amid a sea of executive speeches and Powerpoint presentations. So, I remembered a guy Paychex hired years ago. His was a unique act, bright and unexpected and our audience loved him! I remembered the one-of-a-kind talent, and the likable showman that really delighted our crowd. From the first reintroduction and phone call we knew we had our man. He listened intently when we described our event. We inquired if he would consider tailoring his performance. His enthusiasm crackled through the phone. Craig customized his show with clever script; he charmed and cajoled the attendees with spontaneous banter; even the hardest-nose cell phone and text addicts in the audience were fixed on him with dropped jaws! It appears to come easily, but after working with him pre-contract, through rehearsals and during the entire show, I think I have his number; he listens, he collaborates, he observes, probes for what matters to you, and focuses on that! In a business where entertainers are a mixed bag of copy-cat, out-priced, often oversold crap shoots Mr. Karges gives you a reason to believe again – in top talent, integrity in business dealings and well, in the extraordinary!”

"You were a hit as usual! You did it again, a third time no less... another outstanding and unforgettable performance that amazed the top AT&T performers. It was great seeing you again and I enjoyed every moment of the show as well as the standing O you received. The audience was blown away and the subsequent buzz has not yet ceased. I desired entertainment, motivation and a business message. You went beyond the call and exceeded everyone's expectations. You are, hands down, one of the best I've had the pleasure to work with. I can't thank you enough for making me look like a hero."

"Thank you for your third OUTSTANDING performance for Bayer. Again you wowed my crowd engaging their minds for the evening closing. Each time you presented with a dynamic style whether it's 150 or 750 people you have exceeded Bayer's goals. We appreciated the customized element of your presentation when you close with our corporate message. Although I have had the privilege of seeing you 3 times -- I am always awestruck. Thank you for making Bayer look good."

"We recently had Craig Karges perform at a business seminar where most of the attendees were top level executives who get to attend many such functions. When it comes to seeing speakers, business gurus and entertainers our audience has 'been there done that!' At least that was the case until they saw Craig Karges. To put it simply, Craig astounded, delighted and entertained our group with his unique performance. I would highly recommend Craig Karges to the event planner that is looking to find someone who is truly different... Craig engages the audience and enthralls them. The real magic involved is how good you will look for bringing Craig to your group."

"A standing ovation is the highest praise that can be bestowed upon an entertainer and that is exactly what Craig received at the conclusion of his time with our group. It should be clearly stated that this recognition was given by a highly skeptical audience of financial advisors. A week later and staff members are still talking about their amazement at Craig's abilities. Without doubt, Craig was the best, most compelling performer we have ever booked for our event. In addition, he is one of the most professional entertainers we have ever worked with. Craig took the time out of his busy schedule to get to know our team prior to the event. Certainly, that extra effort on his part paid huge dividends in providing a customized message for our audience and in relating so well with staff before, during and after the show. I cannot recommend Craig highly enough. Standing ovations are rare. But, I'm guessing Craig gets one every time."

"Thank you AGAIN for yet another amazing performance! For more than 10 years, the participants at our conference have marveled at your engaging style and flawless execution. All those in attendance, from the interns to the most senior executives, had an 'extraordinary' time, and the feedback we received has been 100% positive. From a planning standpoint, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to work with someone who not only entertains, but also reinforces the key messages of the firm and the conference. We're looking forward to having you back for future events, and we would be happy to recommend you to any organization that is looking to take their conference or meeting to the next level; you've certainly done that for us."
