Not only is Craig Karges a motivating speaker, but he also uses incredible visual tricks to challenge audiences about what is possible and what is not. This professional illusionist makes a table “walk” on stage and “reads” thoughts. He has performed around the world and appeared on “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Larry King Live.” Can you figure out how he does it? Karges has offered $100,000 for charity if anyone can prove he uses hidden assistants in the audience or elsewhere. View a video about his entertaining show.
