Jason Soll - TEDGlobal

"After my TEDTalk, I dazzle fellow TEDsters with some cardistry. Seated next to me is William Kamkwamba, whose story is told in 'The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.' The book was just named as the Top 10 'Best Books of 2009' by Amazon."

You were on TED to talk about Cardistry? Not sure if I completely read that wrong, but seriously?

No clue how you managed to accomplish so much at such a young age, but keep up the great work and momentum. :)

In the talk, I discuss social media, its relationship with art and how communities are created as a result. I also weave in a unique call to action for experiential education. All the while, I'm performing card flourishes! I'm 19 years old now, but was 18 when I gave the talk at Oxford

Wow, excellent! This is a huge deal by the way, TEDTalks are some of the most inspiring lectures to date. Do you discuss magic, flourishing, or something totally different? Nice job on the research with the ex-prez of the APA. You seem very accomplished, how old are you? :D

Yes, both their YouTube account and website, TED.com

Wow, I just found your profile on the TED site. That is some very impressive stuff! Can't wait to see the video. Are they going to upload it to their youtube account at some point?

Yes, I was one of the few speakers at the TEDGlobal conference this summer. They have not yet posted my TEDTalk.

Ross Lovegrove, the designer of the iMac and Sony Walkman, can be seen chatting at the bar behind me at the end of the video.
