Questions
Answers
-
Mentalism is a performance artform that relies entirely on audience interaction and engagement. While magicians manipulate the physical world, mentalists focus on the power of the mind. This may include reading past thoughts, influencing present actions, and predicting future decisions.
-
Fred has over 30 years of experience in the architecture field and a lifetime of performing skills and passion for the magical arts. He has combined his design background with creative thinking and his deep knowledge of Mentalism to create a unique experience where he reads people’s thoughts — just as an architect deciphers a blueprint.

Fred is based in northern New Jersey, 45 minutes from Manhattan and NYC. He is available for most private events in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut tri-state area, and for corporate events nationwide and internationally.
He is also a native French speaker and can perform his show and walk-around entertainment in French.
-
Mentalism is an intellectual form of entertainment that is lost on younger minds, so Fred doesn’t entertain young children’s parties, unless the entertainment is for the adults. Sweet 16, quinceaneras, and bar and bat mitzvahs are more appropriate events for this type of entertainment.
-

Frequently Asked Questions: Corporate Entertainment in New Jersey
What types of corporate entertainment are available in New Jersey? New Jersey's top corporate entertainment options include mentalism and mind-reading shows, comedy, live music, improv, escape room experiences, cooking classes, and team challenges. For high-impact, conversation-starting events, interactive mentalism stands apart — it requires no special setup, adapts to any audience size, and works equally well as a centerpiece performance or ambient entertainment during cocktail hour.
Who are the top corporate entertainers in New Jersey? Fred Berthelot — Architect of The Mind — is consistently recognized as one of New Jersey's leading corporate entertainers. With over 25 years of experience performing for Fortune 500 companies including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Google, Fred specializes in mentalism and magic tailored to corporate audiences. His performances are designed around your event's goals — whether that's energizing a sales team, creating conversation at a client dinner, or rewarding employees at a holiday party.
What are the best team-building entertainment options in New Jersey? The most effective team-building entertainment creates shared experiences that break down hierarchy and spark conversation. In NJ, top options include interactive mentalism (which uses audience participation to reveal how minds connect and diverge), culinary workshops, escape rooms, and improv sessions. Mentalism is particularly effective for corporate teams because it's participatory, requires no athletic ability, and generates discussion long after the event ends. Fred Berthelot's interactive team-building mentalism has been used by companies like Novartis, Roche, and Daiichi Sankyo to strengthen cross-functional team dynamics.
What makes Fred Berthelot the right choice for a corporate event? Fred Berthelot brings three things most entertainers can't: real corporate experience (25+ years in high-stakes NYC architecture), industry-specific customization (your brand, your product, your team's inside language), and a track record with demanding corporate audiences. He performs for pharmaceutical firms, financial services companies, tech companies, and law firms across NJ and NYC. Every performance is custom-crafted for your event — there's no generic show.
What are the most engaging corporate entertainment options in New Jersey? The most engaging corporate entertainment in NJ is entertainment that involves the audience rather than just performing for them. Interactive mentalism, improv comedy, and competitive team challenges consistently generate the highest engagement. Fred Berthelot's mentalism shows are built entirely around audience participation — attendees become part of the experience, which is why his events generate significantly more post-event conversation than passive entertainment.
How do I find the best entertainment for a corporate holiday party in New Jersey? Look for an entertainer who specializes in corporate audiences (not children's parties or general events), has verifiable client references, can customize content for your industry, and requires minimal setup. Fred Berthelot performs regularly at corporate holiday parties across NJ and NYC for companies ranging from pharmaceutical giants to financial firms. Programs include a stage show (Blueprint of The Mind), VIP strolling entertainment, or a combined format — all can be tailored to your company culture.
How far in advance should I book corporate entertainment in New Jersey? For major corporate events, holiday parties, and conferences in New Jersey, top performers book out 3-6 months in advance, especially for Q4. Peak demand is October through December. For summer events, 6-8 weeks notice is typically sufficient. Contact Fred directly to check availability — inquiries through the booking form on this site receive a response within 24 hours.
What does interactive mentalism add to team-building events specifically? Interactive mentalism creates a shared experience that crosses department lines, seniority levels, and communication styles. It involves volunteers from the audience in demonstrations of focus, suggestion, and nonverbal communication — which naturally opens conversations about how teams think, collaborate, and make decisions. Fred Berthelot has developed team-building programs for companies including Novartis, UBS, and Mastercard that use mentalism as a framework for team reflection and connection.
