Gentry: San Diego's "Thinking Man's Magician" Corporate Speaker from San Diego, CA

Nicholas Gentry's Wonder 101: A Thinking Man's Theater is an interactive presentation about the power of the philosophical perspective. Aimed at lifelong learners and idealistic professionals, this show is a welcome alternative to the crass anti-intellectualism that characterizes so much in entertainment. Gentry uses storytelling, music, and illusion to explore the spiritual, social, and practical benefits of placing interesting questions above easy answers — and while he may amaze you, he will not insult your intelligence. This is no novelty for passive spectators. It is an experience for the actively curious, led by a Carnegie Mellon and University of Pittsburgh professor who spent years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa, and teacher in Japan. Answer the call of curiosity. Discover “philosophical entertainment” – an experience rooted in the heart, and guided by the mind. Gentry is not only a speaker and magician; he is also: – a college philosophy and rhetoric professor who has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh – an excellent bass guitarist who brings old school soul into his show – a former Peace Corps volunteer who spent two and a half years in Ghana (without electricity or running water) as an HIV/AIDS educator – a former teacher of English in Japanese high schools – a former public relations specialist for the American Red Cross of Alaska – the only person you are likely to meet who has traveled to Timbuktu alone with nothing but a school pack on his back and plastic slippers on his feet!
