Request Scott

Scott Hammell is a four-time Guinness World Record holder. Whether it’s magic, escape artistry, stunts, or speaking, his goal is to entertain and inspire. It is his great privilege to share his message and experiences with hundreds of thousands of people the world over. He uses magic, escapes, and juggling as methods to create a presentation that is entertaining, inspiring, and unique with a healthy dose of comic relief.

Scott has been a professional entertainer since 1998. In high school, Scott was well known for his performances as a magician. The encouragement of his peers and academic advisors led him to consider performing and motivational speaking as a career path.

In the nearly two decades since, Scott’s work has taken him around the world. He has performed across North America, as well as in Cuba, Barbados, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and Kenya. He has performed for royalty and foreign dignitaries, including the Prime Minister of Malaysia and Sheikh Abdul Aziz al Nuaimi. Scott has been honoured to share the stage with a host of inspiring people, including Al Gore, Mia Farrow, Jesse Jackson, Stephen Lewis, Samantha Nutt, and Robert Kennedy Jr.

Scott’s stunt called “Down and Out” taught Scott a lot about leadership, communication and taking calculated risks, providing content for his keynote presentations. In this stunt, Scott jumped from an airplane, blindfolded, with his wrists in police regulation handcuffs, fastened to his waist. While free falling over at over 160 MPH, he picked his way out of the handcuffs, then deployed his parachute, and landed safely, still blindfolded.

Scott’s experiences have provided him with intriguing stories to tell, relevant messages for his speeches, and an opportunity to expand the scope of his career.

Scott thrives on entertaining as a motivational speaker, escape and stunt artist, storyteller and filmmaker. He takes his experiences and creates stage performances that are totally unique.

Leadership

Since then, Scott has toured the world presenting at top leadership conferences for students from eighth grade through to college and university. He uses magic, escapes, and juggling as methods to create a presentation that is entertaining, inspiring, and unique.
Goal Setting

Scott has built a wonderful life for himself by chasing after his dreams. When things weren’t happening fast enough, he created opportunities for himself. Some people look at Scott’s Guinness World Records as a unique accomplishment. However, while Scott is very proud of these achievements, he views himself as an ordinary person who has figured out how to set and accomplish goals effectively! In this presentation, Scott shares his best tips and strategies for effective goal setting.
Understanding Fear

Sometimes we push ourselves outside of our comfort zones, and sometimes we are pushed by factors external to us. Either way, it is critical that we move outside of our comfort zones to discover what we are truly capable of.

Scott knows the benefits of pushing his boundaries all too well. Had he not stepped outside of his comfort zone to attempt a gravity-defying stunt, Scott would not be a Guinness World Record holder today. Instead of holding onto his fear of heights, Scott faced the fear, embraced it, and ultimately overcame it.

In this presentation, Scott equips the audience with the tools they need to step outside of their comfort zones and begin the journey of facing their fears.
Communication

Communication is about much more than the words we use; it’s about our body language, tone, and pacing. There are numerous benefits to learning how to communicate effectively. In his day-to-day life, Scott utilizes these communication techniques to strengthen personal relationships and build instant rapport with complete strangers. In this presentation, Scott uses his background as a speaker, hypnotist, and community leader to impart communication skills to his listeners. This presentation is interactive and hands-on to ensure maximum reach and retention.
Career Development

“Getting Paid to Breathe” is about finding your passion and making it happen. When you love doing something, it feels as natural as breathing. If you can figure out a way to get paid for it, you are essentially being paid to breathe. Scott has been getting paid to breathe for over a decade and, as a result, his life has been rewarding and fulfilling. In this speaking session, he is excited to share his secrets of career satisfaction with his listeners.
Local and Global Communities

Scott’s first public magic show, at the age of 12, was a benefit for a women’s shelter and food bank. It was at that show that Scott realized that the most effective way to create positive change in the world, is to attach a specific social issue, to something that you’re passionate about.

Scott has teamed up with several charities and Non Government Organizations’s to create and support some pretty amazing campaigns. He uses these experiences, and experiences of those he’s met along the way to demonstrate his points, and encourage others to create the change that they would like to see in the world.
Facing Adversity

Sometimes our worst experiences can end up making us stronger. Scott’s theory about overcoming adversity boils down perspective: adversity comes in many forms, but you can always control your perspective. If you’re willing to learn from your negative experiences, you will always come out on top!
Stress Reduction

Scott Hammell has gone out of his way, to put himself into stressful situations. He has learned the art of keeping himself calm, cool and collected during his stunts. The methods used, are totally teachable and transferable, even if you’re not jumping out of airplanes or being contained underwater in a metal can.

Scott has found that when it comes to reducing stress, it’s about the messages we tell ourselves everyday. Often times, these messages are totally unconscious. By brining them to the forefront of our consciousness, Scott teaches how to easily reduces our levels of stress.
