Wait… your Lyft driver is also a magician?
Yep. Hi, I’m Vincent La Padula — professional magician, keynote speaker, and occasional Lyft driver.
I believe a little wonder can show up just about anywhere. Apparently, that includes the back seat of a Lyft.
*Research currently underway. Results still being counted. :-)
Ask me for a quick trick after we arrive. I keep the magic parked until the car is parked.
Okay… show me the magic.
A few quick clips. No 45-minute documentary required.
Know somebody who needs a magician?
Corporate events, weddings, fundraisers, private parties and celebrations are what I actually do when I’m not driving you somewhere.
My route here wasn't exactly direct.
Morning radio personality. Addiction. Homelessness. Recovery. Senior Vice President. Software patent. Ministry. Living kidney donor. Magician.
Life has given me more than a few plot twists. Somewhere along the way I learned that the worst chapter doesn't have to be the last chapter.
Mostly, people.
- Stories. Everybody has one.
- Connection. Some of the best conversations happen in unexpected places.
- Flexibility. It fits nicely around shows, speaking, family and serving others.
- And occasionally... somebody asks to see a card trick.
