WHY MENTALISM?
Not a magic show.
Something stranger.
Something interactive.
Something funny.
Something UNFORGETTABLE.
Mentalism has exploded in popularity at corporate events because it does something other entertainment can’t: it makes every single person in the room feel personally implicated.
When I reveal a thought someone hasn’t spoken aloud, the room doesn’t just applaud, it goes quiet first. That half-second of genuine disbelief strips away the professional distance people bring to work events. Suddenly three hundred colleagues are sharing one completely unguarded moment.
That’s what makes a corporate mentalist different from a comedian or a band. The reaction is visceral, universal, and done well completely unforgettable.
“Chris was absolutely amazing. I was mind blown by how he knew so much especially as he did not know anything about the team. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. A real performer. We 110% recommend Chris Cox mentalist and mind reader.”
WHERE I PERFORM
The right format for every event.
Every corporate event is different and no two shows are ever the same. I take the time to get to know what you want from your event to make sure I deliver. Here’s where mentalism entertainment works best and why.
After-Dinner Entertainment
Send guests home buzzing. A 20–30 minute after-dinner mentalism set is the perfect closer for a corporate dinner or gala.
Conferences & Keynotes
Nothing re-energises tired delegates faster. My keynote format applies the psychology of mentalism to your team's world.
Awards Ceremonies
As host or headline act, mind-reading adds genuine surprise to a format that can otherwise feel predictable.
Team Building & Away Days
Workshops that use the principles of mentalism to explore communication, influence, and human behaviour.
Virtual Events
The virtual mind-reading show that made Salesforce, PayPal, and Hasbro feel like it was their own live TV broadcast.
Christmas Parties
The standout Christmas entertainment choice for companies who want something people are still talking about in January.
THE CREDENTIALS
World-class mentalism from a UK based world traveller.
The demand for top-tier mentalists at corporate events has never been higher. If you’ve been looking at internationally renowned acts and worrying about fees and transatlantic logistics, here’s the good news: you don’t have to go to New York to get this calibre of show.
I’m UK-based and have performed for over a million people worldwide. From Broadway stages and the Sydney Opera House to BBC television and boardrooms across Europe and the US. My corporate clients include O2, Virgin Atlantic, Salesforce, PayPal, PepsiCo, Cisco, Mailchimp, and Hasbro, among many others.
I’m one of only 300 performers in the world to hold Inner Magic Circle membership with Gold Star — the highest award in magic. More importantly, wherever you are in the world, I know how to read a corporate room, tailor a show to your specific audience, and make sure every person present feels like the show was made for them. Then I’ll make sure you look good because of it.

“Everyone was 100% engaged — inspiring and entertaining, adding much-needed energy to the day and making our team all think. It was amazing.”
“The audience loved him. He pitched his energy just right and was very sensitive to the energy the delegates brought. They warmed to Chris very quickly and he dumbfounded them and us every time with his mind reading and wonderful tricks!”
Chris really upped the energy and ensured excellent interaction across the group. Very motivational, funny and light hearted. It was excellent and engaging.
Chris ran an amazing event for us, with a show that was as intriguing and entertaining as it was hilarious! It was just the fun, interactive, belly-laugh we all so needed! Thank you Chris!
He’s brilliant, he’ll blow your mind!
COMMON QUESTIONS
What you need to know before you book.
What's the difference between a mentalist and a magician?
A mentalist focuses on the mind. Reading thoughts, predicting choices, revealing hidden information rather than physical sleight of hand or props. It’s more psychological, more personal, and tends to hit harder with corporate audiences because it feels genuinely real. My show combines both: the psychological impact of mentalism with the theatrical craft of a two-decade stage career.
How much does it cost to book a corporate mentalist?
Fees vary depending on event size, location, duration, and how customised you’d like the show to be. I don’t publish a rate card because a 20-minute after-dinner set and a full-evening keynote are very different briefs. The best thing to do is get in touch with your event details and I’ll come back to you quickly with what makes sense.
Can you tailor the show to our company?
Yes and it makes a significant difference. I’ll research your company before the show and weave in references that make the audience feel the performance was built specifically for them. Past clients have been genuinely surprised by how personal it feels making sure what I do align with your goals. It also allows Chris to create effects which mean he can show rather than tell – so your KPIs or goals can be incorporated into the performance.
Is mentalism appropriate for all corporate audiences?
Yes. Everything I do is clean, professional, and inclusive. Nobody is singled out in a way they wouldn’t enjoy, and the content works for every level of an organisation, from the CEO to the newest hire. Twenty years of performing for corporate audiences means I know exactly how to read a room.
Do you travel for corporate events?
Everywhere. I’m UK-based with a particular focus on London, Bristol, Bath, Birmingham, and Manchester, but I perform regularly across Europe and the US. If your event is international, let’s talk. The logistics are usually simpler than you’d expect.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can. Peak corporate season (autumn through to Christmas) books up fast. That said, I occasionally have last-minute availability, it’s always worth asking.
