Programs
Three programs.
One stubborn idea.
Magicians do for a living what most people quit on the moment they hear the word impossible. Each of the programs below is a different shape of the same lesson. Pick the one closest to your room — or tell me what you've got and I'll tell you which fits.
Program 01
The Sleight of Mind Keynote
A 45–60 minute keynote built around one idea: "impossible" is the dead-end most people stop at. Magicians treat it like the starting line. Once your team sees the move, they can't unsee it.
A magician's job is literally to do what can't be done. Most people hear "impossible" and their brain quits — why spend time on that, it's impossible. Magicians push the other direction. We get two tools scientists aren't allowed to use, and even with those, we work so hard against the boundary of what shouldn't be possible that we sometimes solve the actual problem along the way.
Wizards never managed to turn worthless materials into gold. Chasing it, they invented chemistry. Medicine, weather, flight — all used to be magic. They're science now because somebody refused to accept "impossible" as a verdict.
That's what your team learns to do.
Built for:
- Conference closers (the slot people remember on the flight home)
- Leadership offsites and team kickoffs
- Annual sales meetings & rally events
- Innovation summits and "future of X" gatherings — rooms that already know they need new thinking
What's in it:
- Three live mentalism moments your audience will text their friends about
- A working framework for spotting the moment your brain says STOP — and what to do next
- The honest mechanics behind one trick, so the lesson sticks after the laugh fades
- The wizards-into-chemistry story (it lands differently in person than it reads on a page)
- Comedy throughout. The room stays awake. Always.
Runtime: 45–60 min · Customizable to your theme · Travels anywhere
Program 02
After-Dinner Mind-Reading
The plates are clearing. The room's full and a little sleepy from the prime rib. I take the stage and turn the next half hour into the part of the night people text their friends about.
Built for:
- Galas and fundraising dinners (between courses or after dessert)
- Corporate holiday parties and award ceremonies
- Industry banquets and association nights
- Wedding receptions where the couple wants something nobody's ever booked
What's in it:
- Mentalism that genuinely shouldn't be possible
- Funny audience participation — volunteers leave heroes, not punchlines
- Comedy that lands for the room you booked, not the room I wish I had
- The Houdini straight-jacket escape (where the venue allows it)
Runtime: 25–45 min · Squeaky clean · Tech-light setup
Program 03
Strolling Mentalism
I work the room one small group at a time. Cards, coins, billets, prediction effects — close-up moments that feel like party stories before the party's even over.
Built for:
- Cocktail receptions and pre-dinner mixers
- Trade show booths (people stop, they stay)
- Holiday parties where there's no formal "show" slot
- Hospitality suites and VIP rooms
Runtime: 60–120 min · No stage required · Combines well with the after-dinner show
Custom
None of those fit? Build a package.
Most events I do combine two or three of the programs above. Strolling during cocktail hour, an after-dinner set, and a Q&A integrated as a "mentalism interview" with the CEO — for example. Tell me about your run-of-show and I'll tell you what fits where.
Conference Spine
Opening keynote Day 1. Strolling at the welcome reception. Closing show Day 2. Three touchpoints — one consistent voice running through the whole agenda.
Gala Combo
Strolling during cocktails. After-dinner show between dinner and the auction. Energy stays up, wallets stay open, the night feels intentional.
Sales Kickoff
Keynote that frames the year. Lunch strolling that lets reps experience it one-on-one. After-dinner closer the night before everyone flies home.
