Three formats
Incentive groups, congress delegates and local service-centre teams rarely share a first language. Mentalism relies on choices and reactions, so it holds a mixed room together.
Incentive evening
Before dinner, Isma circulates with a deck of cards, a few coins and borrowed objects. Each small group gets its own moment, and guests compare notes afterwards.
For incentive trips, welcome drinks and client evenings.
Gala night
For 20 to 45 minutes, guests chosen at random make decisions on stage that Isma appears to have foreseen. The piece needs no translation beyond simple English or French.
Give him a microphone and a clear view from every table.
Developer and tech events
Budapest welcomes Craft Conference in June 2027 and houses the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. Isma, an AI engineer, stages a duel between intuition and algorithm. See the AI keynote.
For conference side events and leadership meetings.
Tell Isma about your audience and running order: he will help you choose, with no commitment. For a company event, see also corporate magician and mentalist.
