Joe M. Turner (born November 23, 1969) is an American corporate magician, mentalist, and a frequent keynote speaker at conferences and other gatherings.

[2] He frequently incorporates sleight-of-hand, escape magic, and mentalism into keynote addresses as a motivational speaker for corporate and private groups, speaking on topics of customer experience, brand engagement, memory training, change management, and creativity.

He cites Johnny Carson, Dick Van Dyke, Red Skelton and Victor Borge as additional influences on his style.

[7] While a student at Mississippi State, Turner earned a 1989 summer undergraduate fellowship to study nuclear physics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

[citation needed] In 1991 he was named to the Mississippi State University Hall of Fame in recognition of his various academic, artistic, and leadership achievements.

He left that position in 1998 to become a Vice President at Bank of America, working on similar human performance and communication issues within the Business Practices Integration division.

[11][12] This project, the Storytraveler Illusion Show, was tied to Coca-Cola’s sponsorship of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone[13] and other films in that series.

He has also created customized magic at trade shows, meetings and conferences for a variety of clients such as Microsoft, InterContinental Hotel Group, Industrial Information Resources, Eton Corporation, American Water Works Association, the Possible Woman Conference, Alcoa, Pitney Bowes, the Atlanta Falcons, Biosound-Esaote, and American Honda Motor Company, as well as hundreds of other small and medium-sized companies and associations.

He continues to appear at trade shows, conferences, corporate events, and public entertainment venues across the United States and internationally, billed with the title "Chief Impossibility Officer."

He delivers magic-enhanced keynotes on customer experience, brand engagement, memory improvement, change management, and creative problem solving.

He remains the only Georgia magician ever to appear in all three major showrooms at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California: the Close-Up Gallery, the Parlor of Prestidigitation, and the Palace of Mystery.
