Craig Karges    

Award-Winning Entertainer; Mentalist & Author

Craig Karges is an award-winning entertainer, nationally recognized speaker, and author who has captivated audiences around the world.

Known as the "extraordinist," Karges has performed over 5,000 shows in 27 countries across four continents and all 50 states. His performances combine the art of magic, the science of psychology, and the power of intuition to challenge what seems possible. From floating tables to bending metal, Karges creates an interactive experience that has left audiences, including comedian Dennis Miller, in awe.

Karges has made over 40 national television appearances, including on "The Tonight Show," CNN, Fox News, and CNBC, and has starred in two one-hour TV specials. His show, "Experience the Extraordinary," was named one of the top five variety shows in North America by Performance magazine, putting him in the same league as David Copperfield and Disney on Ice. American Entertainment Magazine also named Karges one of the top five variety entertainers on the corporate circuit, highlighting his widespread appeal.

Karges gained significant popularity on college campuses, where he was named Entertainer of the Year six times by the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). He also earned the NACA’s Variety Entertainer of the Year title for twelve consecutive years and was honored with the Campus Legend Award. Campus Activities Magazine recognized him multiple times for his solo acts, and he was inducted into the National Campus Entertainment Hall of Fame, solidifying his place as a college entertainment icon.

Beyond entertainment, Karges is highly regarded by his peers. The international Psychic Entertainers Association named him the top performer in his field, and the National Speakers Association honored him with the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation and Speaker Hall of Fame Award. Despite his mind-bending performances, Karges insists he uses no stooges or confederates, offering a $100,000 charitable donation to anyone who can prove otherwise.

In addition to his corporate clients like McDonald's, NASA, and AT&T, Karges shifted his focus from entertainment to personal empowerment with his program, "Ignite Your Intuition." This interactive presentation teaches participants to harness their subconscious mind to enhance creativity and decision-making, leading to personal and professional success. Karges has authored three books, including "Ignite Your Intuition," "The Wizard’s Legacy," and "Extraordinary Tales," further expanding his influence in the realms of magic, intuition, and inspiration.
