Bill has been involved in performing and teaching in the area of
Extra Sensory Perception (known as ESP) for over 30 years. Bill VanGorder, CFRE, is President of Magic Resource Concepts
Associates (MRC Associates) an enterprise he operates with his wife, Esther VanGorder, FCIP. He has been active in charity and not-for-profit management and fund raising since 1963 and is a past president of both the Nova Scotia and Canadian Society of Fund Raising Executives and a founding board member of the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy.  Bill is an instructor for the Dalhousie University MBA program.

Esther and Bill have developed their abilities and performances to a point that they are called upon to work for both local companies and organization and many of the conferences and conventions that come to Halifax from around the world. A unique side of their services are the presentations, talks and speeches to conferences, dinner meetings, convention banquets, and staff and volunteer training sessions. Bill and Esther are also professional magicians and psychic entertainers. (Members of the Psychic Entertainers Association, Society of American Magicians, the Canadian Association of Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians.)  This allows the speeches and presentations to be high impact and easy to remember as well as entertaining.  They also offer a full package of services for conferences and conventions which includes fund raising, planning and volunteer development workshops and lectures as well as after dinner entertainment for the dinners or banquets.  A very economical package for charitable and not-for-profit organizations.

Although they are exclusively active as members of the international Psychic Entertainers Association, Bill was the founding President of IBM Ring 235, the Atlantic Territorial VP for the IBM and a Charter Member of IBM Ring 316.
