Irving is a magician in the corporate market and charitable events. He focuses on how many smaller components, great in their own right, collaborate over a period of time in order to create greater things. Whether it is in the creation of art, career success, or even personal life, there are many smaller things that come together in order to create the final result we see in the end -- but those pieces of the puzzle often remain a mystery to us. This is very troubling because it leads many to believe great things are created individually, out of nowhere, and puts a tremendous amount of pressure on us as we embark on our own journey toward achieving something of value. To illustrate his point, Irving performs a piece of magic. Something visually engaging and fun, and as he goes, will reveal all the work that went into the performance to create the final moment -- from the years of study to the last practice -- until he reveals the final thing that culminates in a great piece of magic.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
