From the agenda to the conversation

One stage feature. A whole reception to follow.

One option is a 20-minute Human Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence stage feature, followed by one to three hours of close-up mentalism during drinks. The stage sets a shared context; the reception gives guests a more personal experience.

Your questions

Planning your London event.

Can we book both a stage feature and close-up mentalism?

Yes. A short stage feature can give the audience a shared talking point, followed by close-up mentalism during the drinks reception. For example, a 20-minute stage feature and one to three hours of close-up during the reception can be discussed and tailored to your schedule.

Can the performance connect to our AI conference theme?

Yes. Prediction, perception and decision-making offer ways to explore human judgement alongside AI. The content can connect to the questions your audience is discussing, including practical AI implementation. The brief is agreed with you so the performance supports the event’s purpose.

Is this an AI keynote or a magic show?

A stage feature is an entertainment-led experience built around audience participation. A dedicated AI keynote places greater emphasis on explanation, learning and discussion. Describe your objectives and Isma can recommend which approach fits, or how the two could work together.

Do you perform across London?

Yes, enquiries are welcome for corporate events across London. Share the venue or area, date and number of guests so the proposed format takes account of your event space and timetable.

How much does a corporate magician in London cost?

Pricing depends on the format, duration, audience and level of customisation. Send your date, venue and a short description of the event for a tailored quote. You do not need a final brief to ask for advice.

What technical setup do you need?

Close-up is designed for small groups during a reception or dinner. A stage feature needs clear sightlines and suitable sound for the audience. Microphone, staging and any presentation requirements are confirmed with your production team in advance.

Can you perform in English and French?

Yes. Let Isma know the audience’s preferred language when you enquire. The running order and interactions can then be prepared for your guests.
