Awkward moment for the Opening Keynote Speaker

We all have “firsts” right? I’ve been performing as a magician since a kid and as I motivational speaker using magic for 15 years. I’ve seen a lot in 30+ years in front of audiences, whether that was my grandmother (I have to post THAT video) or 2000 credit union employees.  Here’s a fun and awkward stage moment that I needed to share with everyone. The challenge?  Well you can watch the quick video below . . . As the opening keynote speaker, I was faced with what do I do now . . .?

What would you have done if you were on stage?

Would you had asked him to leave?  I found more options (along with the humor) of keeping him right there and playing the moment as long as I felt right.

Hope to see your response of what YOU would have done in the opening keynote speaker and a person wouldn’t leave YOUR stage!
