“It doesn’t matter what you do,” says magician, speaker and actor David Goldrake, “what matters is who you are.” After discovering his synesthesia at a young age, Goldrake realized that what made him different was also what made him unique. In this inspiring talk, he demonstrates the power of exploring our true selves and sharing who we are with the world. Known as ‘The International Man of Mystery’, David Goldrake has performed his award-winning magic for celebrities, royalty, and Fortune 500 companies around the world. From the palaces of Luxembourg to the Moroccan desert, and from the Magic Castle in Hollywood to his headlining show at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, David Goldrake unites the ancient traditions of the magical arts with his own modern style to create unique marvels in a new dimension. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
