Mind Reader for moments that leave guests asking “how did he know?”
A guest thinks of a name, a place or a childhood memory. They don’t write it down and they don’t say it out loud. A moment later, Matt tells them what it is. Mind reading for corporate events, weddings and private parties, from the performer trusted by Google, HSBC and Amazon.

A minute and a half of real guests at real events: close-up magic, mind reading and iPad magic.
Trusted by the world's biggest names
From product launches and trade shows to company dinners and sporting hospitality, global brands hire Matt when the event matters.
Their thoughts. Their reaction.
Mind reading is the most personal kind of magic, because it’s about your guests’ own thoughts. Matt reveals names, words, numbers and memories, and predicts choices before they’re made. Nothing is written down, nobody is put on the spot, and the guest is always the star of the moment.
Matt has performed magic and mind reading professionally for more than 20 years, for clients including Google and HSBC, and on BBC television. His mind reading won the Magic of the Mind competition at the Sussex Magic Circle.
Matt performs mind reading close-up, moving between groups of eight to ten guests so everyone has a moment of their own, or as a featured set for the whole room, with guests invited up to take part. It works for boardrooms, black-tie dinners, family celebrations and international guests alike, because there’s nothing complicated to follow.

Hiring a mind reader for your event
What does a mind reader do at an event?
Matt reveals what guests are thinking (names, words, numbers and memories) and predicts choices before they’re made. It can be performed close-up as guests mingle, or as a set for the whole room.
How much does a mind reader cost?
Every event is quoted individually, because the fee depends on the date, location, how long you’d like Matt to perform and your guest numbers. Send your details for a clear quote.
Is mind reading suitable for corporate events?
Yes. It’s one of the most popular choices for drinks receptions, client entertainment, awards nights and trade stands, because it starts conversations and is remembered for years.
Will anyone be embarrassed?
No. Guests choose whether to take part, nothing personal or private is revealed, and the tone is warm and good-humoured throughout.
How long do you perform for?
Typically between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your event and the number of guests. Matt will suggest the best timings when you enquire.
What’s the difference between a mind reader and a mentalist?
They’re the same thing. Mentalism is the performance art of appearing to read minds and predict the future, and it’s at the heart of Matt’s act.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes, £10 million public liability insurance, which many venues ask for.
Will you tell us how it’s done?
Never. That’s part of the fun.
