Rudi Kruger

Chairman,  South African Green Industries Council National Convention 2012
Thank you for the excellent presentation as guest speaker during our 2012 SAGIC Convention. Even though you are well known as an entertainer and magician, we were interested in your “speaker” side on how to create customers for life. And you delivered! You inspired us to go back to our businesses & create some WOW by creating incredible WOW yourself…

Nazleemah Karlie

Snr HR Consultant, TFG Finance & Administration,  Foschini Group : Clerical Staff Motivation Event
Marcel delivered a performance that left us impressed, inspired and mind-boggled. Our staff fully appreciated the message that he, so eloquently, shared with them. We do believe that, by employing Marcel’s magical skills, the message of inspiration will remain with us for a long time.

Dave Stotter

Dealer Principal ,  CMH Toyota Melrose Sales Staff Motivation Event
Thank you for the two presentations which really got the message across to the staff in terms of a “magical experience”. As a dealership we really considered doing things differently and not putting our staff through another boring presentation where nothing actually gets absorbed and I believe we achieved that.

Chris Goodwin

Director,  Active Africa Exclusive Travel Event
Forget any pre-conceived ideas you may have about magicians fitting in with circus acts and kids parties - this performance has world class polish that will dovetail perfectly with almost any occasion. Possibly most importantly, there is as much magic in Marcel's ability to keep the attention of a group beyond the actual performance as there is in his ability to perform the seemingly impossible.

Mike Handcock

Professional Conference Presenter, Expert Trainer, Business Innovation Coach,  Rock Your Life Events
Having travelled and spoken in over 30 countries I simply have to recommend Marcel Oudejans. His ability to captivate and mesmorise an audience is outstanding. But more than that, he is a true professional weaving profound insights in with Magic. You learn and are engaged the whole way through. Amazing... and unique.

Dave Rogers

President Asia Professional Speakers Association 2007-2008, Spirit of Enterprise Singapore Honoree 2007 Award,  Rock Your Life Events
Marcel is a professional's professional on and off the stage - friendly, fun, and fabulously engaging. For entertainment, laughter, and a deeper appreciation of the human possibility and potential - engage Marcel and this team of speakers, coaches, and human potential experts ...
