How to Choose a Magician or Mind-Reader

With so many recognisable faces and diverse offerings on our roster, choosing the right Magician or Mind Reader for your event could, at first, feel daunting. But fear not! Our Entertainment Experts can recommend the most suitable acts, based on your event requirements.

For entertaining a large audience, perhaps at a corporate gala dinner, awards ceremony or festival, consider a spectacular stage show including astonishing feats such as conjuring, escapism, illusions, prediction and telepathy. Alternatively, for intimate gatherings, such as weddings or cocktail lounges, close-up magic is perfect for fostering a genuine connection with one-to-one interaction. 

Typically, close-up magic draws on traditional tricks, pickpocketing and sleight of hand but in recent years, has evolved to include technology in the form of digital magic.


Frequently Asked Questions

Do you represent magicians from Got Talent TV shows?

We do! You’ll find a range of magicians, illusionists, and mentalists of Got Talent fame from across the world on our roster.

What is the difference between a magic stage show and close up magic?

Put simply, a magic stage show is performed on a stage, while close up magic is performed right in front of you. 

Magic stage shows are great for large audiences and can involve grand illusions, mindreading, digital magic tricks and more - with or without participation from the audience. 

On the other hand, close up magic is more likely to involve sleight of hand and illusions with everyday items, personal effects and card tricks. Close up magicians are great for mix and mingle entertainment at weddings, private parties and corporate events. 

How many people can a close up magician entertain at an event?

This varies depending on what else you have going on, but one close up magician can entertain roughly 100 people over the course of 1-2 hours with a short break. 

Can magicians use branded props or integrate logos in their show?

Yes! Many tricks and illusions can be tailored to make use of branding, products, logos and more. You might also want to involve a CEO or a special guest on stage! We work with lots of magicians who will  happily design new tricks and routines to incorporate specific props or communicate a key message.

Do you offer large illusion shows?

Absolutely. We have a large number of themed grand illusion shows on our roster from classic vintage productions to contemporary high-tech digital magic routines. 

What is a mentalist?

A mentalist is a magician that specialises in magic of the mind. They perform tricks that seem to demonstrate that they have superhuman abilities in areas like clairvoyance, neurolinguistic programming, psychic ability and so on.

Mentalists give the impression that they can manipulate a person’s decisions, thoughts and read the minds of people in the audience. This is often an impressive and unsettling experience - and you can choose to believe whether they really are psychic, or whether it’s all impressive trickery!

Perhaps the most famous and innovative mentalist is Derren Brown, so think of him when considering whether a mentalist or a magician is the right act for your event.

What do mentalism acts involve?

It’s usually important and most impressive for mentalists to include at least some level of audience participation. Common acts will include mind-reading, hypnotism and the prediction and manipulation of future events and choices. 

When compared to other, more traditional stage magic shows, mentalist acts require comparatively little by way of props and staging except in circumstances where enormous tricks are included.

Audience members will usually be brought up onto the stage, and a magician might single out audience members from their seated positions. 

Some mentalism acts include technology and hacking, combining two increasingly popular forms of stage magic.

What’s the difference between a mentalist and a fortune teller?

Something that mentalists don’t often do is roaming entertainment, or more archaic forms of fortune telling such as tarot reading and tea-leaf reading (though some do include these within their act). 

Mentalists are magicians - their acts are designed to entertain and delight (and freak people out a little bit), whereas fortune tellers offer their services to give individual people insights to their futures that they can use or discard.

What can I expect from a mentalism act?

Prepare yourself to be thoroughly spooked! Whether or not you believe that your mentalist is endowed with real psychic capabilities, there is no denying that a skilled practitioner’s tricks are astounding and defy explanation. 

Expect a mesmerising and baffling show. Very common themes include card tricks that evolve into bigger reveals later on, hypnotism, mind-reading, at least one big trick that lasts the whole show, and in some cases an element of danger. 

Expect, too, to become involved - either directly or in the form of one or more of your guests. Lots of mentalists will aim to make their shows personal to your event, researching facts about your business for example. This makes their mentalism more relevant to your life and makes it all the more impressive!

Are mentalists always solo acts?

This is usually the case as audiences will suspect show rigging if the mentalist uses an assistant to produce his or her tricks, however acts that are a mix of mentalism and traditional magic - and tricks that fall into both categories - often require an assistant. 

We have duo mentalism acts, an all-female magic quartet and much more.

Do all mentalists do other kinds of magic?

Most magicians know at least some mentalism, while dedicated mentalists are usually practitioners of close-up magic and other magic too. This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is usually the case.

Dedicated mentalists will usually have a more ambitious act that focuses only on tricks of the mind, although most mentalists will introduce a few elements of more standard magic (disappearing objects and the like) into their act.

There are also a great many tricks that fall somewhere between standard magic and mentalism. The most obvious of these are card tricks, where a magician will ‘telepathically’ know which card a spectator has chosen and placed it somewhere before the trick began - suggesting that the magician knew before the trick which card would be picked, or somehow manipulated the participant into choosing that particular card with his or her mentalist trickery. 

Are mentalism acts always stage shows?

Not necessarily. Due to the up-close-and-personal nature of the magic, it’s perfectly feasible for mentalists to do walkabout magic. Many will combine a walkabout show with a stage act, and few mentalism acts require very large stage spaces.

CASE STUDY: French iPad Magician

At a fabulous corporate cocktail mixer in Toulouse, France, our French iPad Magician impressed everyone, especially the client, with his combination of iPad magic, mentalism and traditional magic trickery. His magic act was truly interactive as he roamed the venue (a  luxury restaurant rooftop bar) surprising and delighting different groups of guests with seemingly impromptu moments. 

Better still, our magician incorporated the company’s logo into one of his iPad tricks, which proved to be a recurring topic of conversation throughout the night, and of course, this had the added benefit of subtle brand promotion. Our iPad Magician is one of our top French magicians famed for his abilities and charming personality.
