This awe-inspiring conjurer was placed under the spell by
his Uncle, who trained under Houdini. After learning his first card trick at
age six, Cohen was hooked.
When he is not traveling, Cohen can be found at New
York’s famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel performing his
public show: Chamber Magic. Cohen recreates the intimacy of 19th century parlor
performances by baffling his guests in close quarters of a private suite.
Cohen’s public and private performances have become a
must-see phenomenon. He has performed at a wide variety of gatherings from The
White House Correspondent’s Dinner to numerous Fortune 500 corporate events and
private functions. The notables mystified include: Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
Martha Stewart, Jack Welch, Christopher Reeve, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and
Michael J. Fox.
Cohen has received widespread media recognition, including
CNN, Martha Stewart Living, CBS Evening News, The History Channel, The New York
Times, The Financial Times, Lexus Magazine, The London Sunday, and The Evening
Standard.
Cohen earned a degree in psychology from Cornell
University and spent a year abroad
studying at Waseda University
in Tokyo. He has a native-level
proficiency in Japanese, and previously worked as an interpreter for the
Japanese government. He holds the esteemed rank of MIMC (Member of the Inner
Magic Circle) with Gold Star, awarded by The Magic
Circle in London.
He is the author of the book Win the Crowd. In this book,
Cohen reveals the secrets of all great showmen and magicians--how to persuade,
influence and charm, and ultimately accomplish the things you’ve always wanted
to do.
Win the Crowd teaches Steve Cohen’s Maxims of Magic, simple
rules you can use to take charge of practically any situation. The Maxims of
Magic will wash away insecurity and hesitations, and replace them with
confidence, poise and leadership. When you strip away the sleight of hand
tricks, magicians are essentially masters of attracting and holding attention
and impressing audiences, exactly the psychological secrets you need to be
successful in life and business.
