Bob Gray

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I immigrated to Canada from England in 1979 as an entertainer. I immigrated under a unique condition...I had to prove I wasn't taking a job from a Canadian. I wasn't, in fact I wasn't taking a job from anyone else in the world for I was uniquely qualified for the job. I would be demonstrating on stage some unique talents that netted me a place in the 'Guinness Book of World Records.' I am able to write extemporaneously upside down, upside down and backwards, laterally inverted, mirror styled with both hands and feet simultaneously while blindfolded……I know, nuts! That’s not all; I can also speak phonetically backwards and spell words and sentences backwards as quickly as anyone else can forwards. I can tell you what any date in history falls on quicker than you can work it out on your phone. I have also memorized the capital city, area in square miles and population of every country on the planet, and there’s one more thing, but I can’t remember it….rim shot!

All joking aside, you can do this too, the memory stuff, not the talking and writing backwards.

For the past 25 years I have been delivering interactive, humorous, (how can they not be) keynotes and workshops on memory development to many fortune 100 & 500 companies and large associations across 5 continents….or is it 6?

In 2006 I was inducted into the Canadian Speakers Hall of Fame and have earned my CSP, Certified Speaking Professional designation.
