Here’s what professionals have to say about Mark’s memorable programs and performances:

"After seeing Mark’s keynote, all I can say is BRAVO! Mark provides a thought-provoking
environment for his audiences to renew their sense of vision and possibility. Mark presents in such an entertaining manner that people are sure to remember and apply his insights. I have had the pleasure of seeing Mark present three different programs and I continue to be amazed at how he can delight and inspire a crowd. I would recommend him to any employer or organization seeking a genuinely motivational speaker.”

Sunny Nixon
President-Elect, Association of Legal Administrators, Cleveland Chapter

"If you want to inspire and motivate your colleagues and team members, Mark Zust is the one to do it! His thought-provoking, interactive keynote leaves you feeling empowered and wanting more. The American Society for Training and Development, Greater Cleveland chapter, had the pleasure of hearing Mark's insights as part of our group's 65th Anniversary celebration. Our attendees, including many past presidents, were delighted to learn mind-changing tips and magic demonstrations that they can apply in classes and programs."

Lori Klepfer
Greater Cleveland ASTD, Executive Vice President

"Mark Zust was a joy to work with! His performance received great reviews and our members found him very insightful and focused on delivering a message that they could readily apply. Mark was a terrific addition to our conference."

David Arata
Northeast Regional Manager, The Risk Management Association

"Mark Zust is without a doubt one of the most energetic and entertaining Magicians that we have had the pleasure to experience and work with in our organization's 28 year history covering more than 265 events. His professionalism is unmatched when it comes to delivering the real deal. Our guests were thoroughly amazed and everyone left with a smile on their face! Thank you, Mark."

Tom Lamb
Associate Executive Director, Ohio Cancer Research Associates

"It was remarkable to see Mark help a roomful of bankers transition from skeptical to willingly thinking in new ways. The messages of being open to new experiences and that things are not always as they seem were reinforced by Mark's stories and amazing magical effects. My group was still trying to figure out the effects and were practicing the Magic Dice illusion through to the next day of the conference. Mark's talk will have a lasting effect on those who are ready to accept new challenges and move out of their comfort zones."

William G. Loftus
Senior VP, Business Banking Manager, Wachovia

“Mark Zust has helped us bridge the gap between our daily work activities and growing the skill set of the department. During two full day sessions he did a wonderful job of tying together our needs with his insightful and entertaining presentation. He helped us establish a way to develop our staff, build a stronger team and better meet the needs of our clients. I highly recommend Mark to others as I have brought him back to the Clinic three times.”

We were lucky to have Mark join us and would welcome him back to future events."
