Three formats

A mentalist for your Prague event: three formats

A congress day in Nusle or Letňany often ends with dinner in a palace of the Old Town or Malá Strana. Each format fits one part of that schedule.

Welcome reception

Magic that gets delegates talking

While glasses are served, Isma goes from group to group: a borrowed object changes hands, a thought is named aloud. Delegates from different countries leave with a shared story.

For receptions, networking evenings and incentive groups.

Gala dinner

A stage show of 20 to 45 minutes

Between two courses, a few volunteers join Isma on stage and the whole room follows their choices. Everything rests on what people see and do, which suits an international table plan.

The venue supplies a microphone and a stage area.

Tech and innovation events

Mentalism against an algorithm

Prague is home to IT centres and to WebExpo, held in May 2027. Isma, an AI engineer, lets the audience try to beat a prediction model. For a talk, see the AI keynote.

For kick-offs, product launches and partner evenings.

Congresses and fairs

The Prague Congress Centre in Nusle and the O2 universum in Prague 9 host international congresses; PVA EXPO PRAHA in Letňany hosts trade fairs. Stage mentalism can open a plenary or close the day.

Historic settings

Gala dinners take place in the halls of the Municipal House, at the Lobkowicz Palace inside Prague Castle or at the Kaiserstein Palace in Malá Strana. Close-up at the reception, then the stage.

Hotels

Fairmont, Marriott and congress hotels

For conferences and dinners at the Fairmont Golden Prague on Pařížská, the Prague Marriott Hotel or the Clarion Congress Hotel in Vysočany: close-up while guests mingle, a stage show once they are seated.

Your questions

Booking a mentalist or magician in Prague: your questions

Who can I book as a mentalist or magician for a corporate event in Prague?

Isma Zmerli is a mentalist and magician available for corporate events in Prague. He offers close-up during receptions, a 20 to 45-minute stage show at gala dinners, or an AI keynote, in English or French.

How much does a mentalist cost in Prague?

It depends on the format, its length, the number of guests and the date. The quote is all-inclusive, with no extra fees, and reaches you within 24 hours once you send the date and the venue.

Is the show performed in Czech?

No. Isma performs in English or French. Many international teams and service centres in Prague work in English, so the show suits mixed audiences. If most guests speak only Czech, say so from the start.

Can Isma perform outside Prague, in Karlštejn or Kutná Hora?

Yes. Castles and estates across Central Bohemia are within reach: Karlštejn is about 40 minutes from Prague by train, Kutná Hora about an hour. Name the town and the venue in your request.

What should the venue provide?

For close-up, nothing: Isma brings his own props. For a stage show in a hotel ballroom or a palace hall, ask the venue for a wireless microphone, a sound system and a small stage or a cleared area.

When should we book for an event in Prague?

As early as possible for December evenings and for the congress weeks of September and October. Isma answers every request within 24 hours, including short-notice ones.
