Phoenix

Phoenix is a mentalist, and the stage show mixes mind reading with magic and a good deal of comedy. Much of the laughter comes from watching people you know go up and take part, which is the trick behind the trick. Shows run 30 to 45 minutes and pack down easily, needing speakers and a mixer, with a microphone supplied and a projector recommended. There's a casino-themed show as well, built around whether you can beat the house, available as a solo set or as a bigger version that ends in a water tank escape. If your event has a theme or a slogan, mention it when you enquire, because it can often be worked into the show.
