ABOUT TOBIAS

Author, speaker, creator of magical experiences.

A lifetime working in live entertainment has provided Tobias Beckwith with rare insights into the ways both performers and audiences are transformed by their experiences. He shares this through his books The Wizard's Way, The WIzard's Way to Powerful Presentations, Beyond Deception, Volumes 1 & 2, and Beyond Applause as well as in his speaking and teaching work.

Trained as actor, director and designer for the theater, he taught in the performing arts program at University of Pittsburgh before relocating to New York City. There, he counted himself fortunate to work on the production and management teams for The Fantasticks, the original Broadway production of Sweeney Todd and the long running Oh! Calcutta! Since 1988, Tobias has worked almost exclusively with top magicians Jeff McBride and Marco Tempest, managing, directing and producing events for both in Las Vegas, off-Broadway, for corporate events, and on tour to theaters and arts festivals around the world.

Most recently, Beckwith has developed and delivered talks and workshops around the teachings in his Wizard's Way Books, applying the principles and techniques from those books to best leadership, team-building and innovation for individuals and organizations. These projects are being developed under the auspices of The Wizard Venture, his newest creation.
