Interactive Corporate Entertainment That Gets People Talking
Looking for a corporate mentalist who will genuinely amaze your guests and get them talking to each other?
I’m Warren Thackeray, a professional corporate mentalist, magician, and keynote entertainer. I perform at conferences, leadership events, trade shows, executive meetings, and corporate celebrations, and I build every show around the audience in the room.
My performances put your guests at the center of the action. They take part in demonstrations of mind reading, influence, prediction, and psychological illusion, and the reactions are what make the night. Someone’s boss guesses a stranger’s PIN. A table of clients watches their host’s thought get read out loud. Those become the stories people tell on Monday.
Whether you’re entertaining 50 executives or a full conference hall, the show is built around your audience and your event.
Corporate Mentalism That Creates Real Engagement
A shared experience does more for a room full of colleagues and clients than any amount of passive entertainment. When two strangers watch something impossible happen a foot away from them, they have a reason to talk, and that conversation is the whole point of the event.
I combine interactive mind reading, psychology, comedy, and heavy audience participation to create exactly those moments. The format works for conferences, sales kickoffs, awards nights, product launches, and company celebrations.
Trusted by Global Organizations
I have performed for corporate audiences across the United States, Canada, and South Africa.
One of the highlights of my career was being selected as a lead facilitator for the North American launch of an award-winning leadership experience developed for one of the world’s largest music companies. As part of the U.S. launch, I was flown to Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto to deliver immersive leadership experiences before the program expanded worldwide.
Since then, the initiative has:
- Delivered more than 82 leadership experiences
- Reached over 1,000 managers
- Expanded across 15 countries
- Been presented in 10 languages
- Won three 2025 TITAN Business Awards, including Gold for Employee Engagement Event
A confidentiality agreement prevents me from naming the organization publicly, but the project showed me firsthand what interactive mentalism can do when it’s paired with leadership and team development work.
Experience That Matters
Hiring a corporate mentalist is a bet on the performer, so the track record should matter to you.
My career includes performances in three countries for audiences totaling more than 14,000 people. I headlined an Off-Broadway production for over 300 performances, I’ve been a featured performer for Fortune 1000 companies, and I’ve worked as a leadership experience facilitator, conference keynote entertainer, and trade show attraction specialist.
Every audience is different, so every show is built around what your event needs to achieve and who is actually in the room.
Corporate Mind Reading That Fits Your Event
Conference Mentalist
Your attendees have seen enough PowerPoint. A conference mentalist gives them an experience with actual energy in it, plus something to talk about at every coffee break that follows. It works as an opening session, closing keynote, awards dinner performance, networking reception, or leadership conference feature.
Executive Meetings
For executives and VIP clients, the entertainment has to match the room. My performances are intelligent and interactive, with the right balance of amazement and humor for a sophisticated audience.
Sales Kickoffs
Start your sales meeting with something that grabs the room in the first two minutes. Interactive mentalism builds excitement while reinforcing themes like communication, influence, decision making, and teamwork.
Corporate Holiday Parties
Holiday parties should feel special. My shows turn guests into participants, and colleagues who barely know each other end up laughing at the same impossible moment. The conversation takes care of itself from there.
Client Appreciation Events
Nothing builds a relationship like experiencing the impossible together. Give your clients entertainment they’ll bring up on the next call.
Why Companies Choose Warren Thackeray
Companies book me because the show pulls the whole room in rather than a handful of volunteers, and because it is built for the specific audience in front of it. The material is clean, corporate-friendly, and tested on international audiences.
More Than Magic
The impossible demonstrations are the vehicle. What matters is what happens around them. Two people who have never met start talking about what they just saw, and the client who arrived checking his phone leaves telling everyone in the lobby about it.
