Finally, a keynote for the people holding it all together – the parents!

Joseph Tran presents:

THE DISAPPEARING ACT:
Letting Go Without Losing Connection

A keynote for parents preparing for the college transition…

What happens when your child steps onto a college campus and out of your daily life? The routines vanish. The calls become fewer. And suddenly, you’re left asking: Who am I as a parent now?

In this powerful, heartfelt, and surprisingly magical keynote, magician and speaker Joseph Tran helps parents navigate the emotional journey of sending a child to college. Blending sleight-of-hand illusions with storytelling and practical insight, this talk will show parents:

  • How to mentally and emotionally prepare for their child’s transition to college

  • How to redefine your role as the parent of a young adult

  • How to stay connected—even from afar—in a meaningful, respectful way

Because in both magic and parenting, what disappears often reappears… in a whole new form.

Ideal for: orientation events, college welcome weekends, family weekends

WHO IS JOSEPH TRAN?

Tran is a nationally recognized keynote speaker and touring entertainer with over 20 years of experience at corporate events, theaters, cruise ships, and colleges & universities across the country. With a background in psychology and a father of two, himself, Joseph offers parents a fresh perspective by helping them think like a magician – approaching change with curiosity and creativity.

And don’t forget about the students!


A keynote for students stepping into what’s next…

We tell students they can be anything. But what if the system they’re stepping into wasn’t actually built for them?

Through sleight-of-hand, comedy, and heartfelt stories, Joseph helps students recognize the invisible systems they’re navigating, and then shows them how to create their own rules, counteract negativity, and reclaim their story.

This isn’t your typical “follow your dreams” pep talk. It’s real, it’s funny, and it’s uncomfortable in the right places.

And it hits hard, especially for:

  • First-gen students, incoming freshman, transfer students

  • Orientation, welcome week, and family weekends

  • Mental health events

  • Leadership programming

Why Book Both?

You offer something meaningful to both sides of the transition.

Together, these two talks deliver a family experience that will spark conversations long after the talks are over. Parents learn to let go of being the caretaker and embrace their new role as the guide. Students learn how to take ownership of their future with resilience and clarity.

Bundle and save!

Investing in student connection should be easy, and memorable moments shouldn’t be limited to one side of the room. Book both keynotes for the same event, and you’ll receive an exclusive package discount!
