Personality Magic: Learn to Read People Like a Magician Featuring Kostya Kimlat
Have You Thought About How You Connect with People?
How quickly do you build trust with someone you’ve just met?
Are you adapting your communication—or expecting others to adapt to yours?
Can you recognize what someone needs before they tell you?
What if you could improve every conversation—with clients, employees, prospects, and peers—by simply becoming more present?
The strongest entrepreneurs don’t just communicate well—they connect quickly, authentically, and intentionally.
Personality Magic: Learn to Read People Like a Magician
Join EO Philadelphia for an unforgettable evening with Kostya Kimlat, world-renowned magician, entrepreneur, and communication expert.
Built from more than 25 years of performing magic for strangers, Personality Magic is an interactive workshop that teaches you how to read the person in front of you within seconds and adapt your communication to create stronger, more meaningful connections.
Rather than placing people into personality “boxes,” you’ll learn a practical framework that helps you become more aware, more adaptable, and more effective in every interaction.
Throughout the evening, you’ll explore:
How to quickly recognize different communication styles
The two signals that reveal what someone needs in the moment
Techniques to build trust and rapport faster
Practical tools to improve leadership, sales, negotiations, and team communication
Ways to create stronger relationships both professionally and personally
This is not a lecture. Expect an engaging, high-energy experience filled with audience participation, practical exercises, worksheets, and, of course, a little magic along the way.
You’ll leave with a framework you can immediately apply in your business, your leadership, and your everyday conversations.
