Keynote
An opening or closing session that sets the tone for your whole event.
Education × Entertainment = Edutainment
Security training that actually lands.
Live magic shows that make security memorable, fun, and real. Cybersecurity keynotes and security awareness training, performed by two CISSPs.
The problem
Your team has sat through the same security awareness training and compliance deck fifty times. Meanwhile, attackers keep inventing new tricks, and the training hasn't kept up.
The experience
- Live tricks performed in the room, not on a screen
- Each illusion tied to a real-world attack technique
- Audience participation, because people remember what they did
- No slide-reading, no "click next to continue"

Featured AI security keynote
Keep Your Eye on the AI Lady
Securing & governing AI systems. Appearing to control AI is not the same as controlling it.
Misdirection
Everyone watches the clever answers. Nobody checks the tool permissions.
ControlsSleight of hand
Untrusted content carries hidden instructions that expose secrets.
Prompt injectionIllusion
Confident AI output that is simply made up.
HallucinationShowmanship
An impressive demo, and "huge results." Really?
Governance
Your audience leaves with a plan to “Reclaim Reality”
- Know your AI. Inventory use cases, models, data, tools, and owners.
- Start with boundaries. Limit data access, identities, and tool permissions.
- Test the illusion. Challenge injection, leakage, and false answers.
- Keep people accountable. Approve high-impact actions; log and contain.
- Measure what matters. Track usage, failures, exposure, and response readiness.
“A safe demo is not proof of a safe system.”

Questions about booking a security magic show
What is a security magic show?
A live cybersecurity talk where every magic trick demonstrates a real attack technique. Misdirection, sleight of hand, and illusion become lessons about controls, prompt injection, and AI hallucination, so the security message sticks long after the show.
Who is it for?
Security, IT, and compliance teams, all-hands and leadership meetings, and conference audiences. It is built for organizations that want security awareness training people actually remember.
What topics do you cover?
AI security and governance, phishing and social engineering, zero trust, passwords and identity, and compliance. The featured keynote, Keep Your Eye on the AI Lady, covers securing and governing AI systems.
What formats are available?
Keynotes, lunch and learns, team off-sites, conference sessions, and virtual shows with audience participation built in.
Where are you based?
Utah. Both presenters lead the ISC² Utah Chapter. Virtual shows are available anywhere.
One-pagers
Free, practical guides you can share with your team. Each one has its own direct link.
