Mind-Reading Entertainment by a Top-Rated Montreal Mentalist
A Mentalist for Corporate Events, Galas & Holiday Parties
Through psychological illusions, Bao gives your guests the impression that he is reading their minds: a name they were only thinking of, a phone passcode, a decision predicted before it’s made. No rabbits, no props from a kids’ party. Sharp, sophisticated, and built for adult crowds that are hard to impress.
At scale: a magic & mentalism show for 600 guests at RBC’s gala. Budgeting? What actually drives the cost of a mentalist in Montreal.
As a magician and mentalist, Bao brought a whole new level of excitement to the event by showcasing his stage performance that blended mind-boggling mentalism with awe-inspiring illusions, leaving the crowd in awe and wonder.

Why Bao
Designed for guests who think they’ve seen everything
-
01
Wow the Skeptics
Mentalism lands hardest on the guests you think are hardest to impress. No psychic claims, just psychological illusions the analytical minds in the room can’t explain.
-
02
Everyone Gets a Moment
It happens in their hands, with their phone, their name, their thought. That participation turns a performance into a story they tell for years.
-
03
Roaming or On Stage
Close-up magic and mind reading among your guests at cocktails, a mentalism stage show for the whole room, or both, matched to your program and venue.
-
04
Clean, Corporate-Friendly, Bilingual
Smart humour, zero politics, nothing off-colour. A polished experience that reflects your company’s standards, in English or French.
What Does a Mentalism Show Look Like at a Corporate Event?
During cocktails or networking, Bao mingles from group to group, an ice-breaker that gets strangers talking and keeps guests in the room. For a seated audience, the mentalism becomes a full stage show: every gasp and every burst of laughter happens at the same time, turning your event into one shared memory.
Most corporate events combine the two: roaming mentalism while guests arrive, and a stage show as the headline moment of the night.

We used Bao to animate our Grand Prix client appreciation event in Montreal, and we could not have been happier with the outcome.

FAQs
What exactly does a mentalist do?
Bao performs psychological illusions where he gives you the impression that he is reading your mind and predicting the future: revealing names and numbers guests are only thinking of, guessing phone passcodes, and predicting choices before they’re made. He is transparent that it’s a skill, not a psychic gift, which somehow makes it even harder to explain.
Is Bao a magician or a mentalist?
Both. Bao performs a mix of close-up magic and mentalism: sleight-of-hand with cards, money, and small borrowed objects, alongside the mind-reading and prediction pieces this page describes. Most events get a blend of the two.
Is mentalism a good fit for a corporate event?
It’s one of the strongest fits there is. Mentalism is interactive by nature: guests participate rather than watch, which makes it a natural ice-breaker at cocktail hours and a high-impact headline for galas, conferences, client appreciation events, and holiday parties. Skeptical, analytical crowds tend to enjoy it the most.
Is the show clean and corporate friendly?
Yes. The show is fully clean and designed specifically for corporate audiences, with smart humor and sophisticated material that reflects the professionalism of your brand.
Is Bao bilingual?
Yes. Bao is fully fluent and performs professionally in both French and English.
What audience size does mentalism work for?
All sizes. Roaming mentalism works from intimate executive dinners to large receptions, and the stage show scales to any room. Bao has performed alongside a team of 5 magicians for a client who needed close-up entertainment for over 500 guests within 90 minutes.
How much does it cost to hire a mentalist in Montreal?
Every event is quoted individually based on the format, date, duration, and location. There’s no one-size-fits-all rate. Fill out the form on this page for a detailed quote, or read about what actually drives the cost of a magician and mentalist in Montreal.
What should I look for when hiring a mentalist?
Look for proof the performer works your kind of room: real reviews from corporate clients, video of them performing for adult audiences, and enough experience to adapt when the schedule shifts. Here’s Bao’s full guide on what to look for before booking a magician or mentalist for your event.
How early should I book a mentalist for my event?
Please contact Bao’s team as soon as possible to ensure your desired date is available. (Especially when it’s during the holiday season!)
Where is Bao located? Does he travel?
Bao is based in Montreal, and he travels nationwide to perform, including regularly as a magician in Ottawa.
