MINDBLOWING MENTALISM THAT LEAVES GUESTS SPEECHLESS

Mentalism is one of the most astonishing styles of close-up entertainment. Instead of using props or cards, Slightly Unusual dive straight into your guests’ minds - revealing thoughts, predicting decisions, influencing choices and uncovering personal details they never said out loud.

​

Thought-of words appear written before they were named. A guest’s star sign is revealed instantly. A decision they only imagined becomes a reality. Their phone PIN, a drawing, a memory - nothing feels safe… and that’s exactly why people love it.

​

Performed with Slightly Unusual’s trademark comedy and charm, mind reading becomes fun, interactive, and absolutely unforgettable.

WHY MENTALISM & MIND-READING WORKS SO WELL

  • It requires no props - the magic happens entirely in people’s minds.

  • Incredibly powerful for audiences who enjoy mystery, intrigue and deeper involvement.

  • Perfect for weddings, corporate networking, awards nights, and private parties.

  • Works anywhere: standing, seated, tables, receptions or mix-and-mingle.
