Guest Celebrity Speakers, Tailor Made Experts & ‘Hoax Master’
Here’s some of the fun I’ve created for clients…
- Hoax public dignitaries –
One resulted in an invitation to join HRH Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Phillip for an official city opening.
- Hoax National TV News so they ran it as their headline news story!
- I create international experts and authorities for industries, corporations and associations as
corporate imposters to entertain, educate and motivate.
In this 4 minute video, there’s samples of hoaxes I’ve performed on behalf of clients; including the TV News program where we hoaxed the interviewer and TV channel, much to the delight of ABC’s ‘Media Watch’!
Yes. We’re having fun. However my tailored speaking presentations are used to:
• Train • Entertain • Sell • Generate Awareness • Raise Brand Profiles • Define Goals • Create Goodwill • Facilitate • Motivate
Clients use me for maximum impact at their events and training programmes. In this role I’m also on call for the Leader-Tek Workshop designed to ‘Future Proof’ corporations and organisations.

Keynote Hoaxes
Here’s four characters out of the hundreds I’ve created for various clients, along with their backgrounds.
Meet my ‘Herr Schilling’, former head of East German security. This involved a lot of latex and time to change my physical appearance completely before arriving at the venue as guest keynote speaker to launch a new series of reference publications.
Following the speech to open a new office building, my character as Prof Henry Riddle, Stanford University’s expert futurologist was asked by the Lord Mayor to return as a guest of the city for the official opening of its new city centre.
When a leading hospital needed a mission speaker to raise their final $1 million to complete their pain research wing, enter highly decorated, USMC Colonel Richard Guillemin, Deputy Director of Medical Science NASA, Presidential Advisor on Neurosciences and Mt Everest conqueror.
‘Now we’re really headin’ more down south Y’all come on back by now!’ As a good ol’ boy from Dixie I was the inspirational keynote speaker and scientific guru with the southern US accent here answering questions from the audience of ‘fellow’ scientists at the Australian port of departure prior to an Antarctic expedition.
