Common Questions
Corporate Entertainment FAQ
Is it appropriate for a professional audience?
Yes. Mentalism engages analytical, professional audiences without feeling childish or gimmicky. Participation is voluntary, nobody is embarrassed, and nothing personal or sensitive is ever revealed.
What's the difference between a mentalist and a corporate magician?
A magician performs illusions with objects. A mentalist works with thoughts, choices and the people themselves, so the experience feels conversational, intelligent and centered on your team.
Will anyone be put on the spot?
Only people who want to be. Fred reads the audience as he goes, and the colleagues who join him on stage are volunteers who end up as the heroes of the show.
Where does it fit in our agenda?
Strolling works during arrivals, receptions and networking breaks. The show works best after the main course, before remarks or awards, or as a high-energy close to a conference day.
How long does the entertainment run?
Strolling runs up to 90 minutes. The show runs 45 to 60 minutes, and the short show 20 minutes.
What does Fred need from our venue or AV team?
Strolling needs no stage, no sound and no setup. For the show, Fred sends a short tech rider and coordinates with your venue and AV team ahead of time.
Can Fred customize it for our company?
Yes. A short questionnaire helps Fred understand your company, culture, milestones and goals, and those details shape the experience, including a finale designed to recognize your team or occasion.
Our team is mostly remote. Will this help people connect?
That's one of the best uses for it. Shared amazement gives colleagues who rarely see each other something to talk about, and it gives new hires, leadership and established teams an easy reason to interact.
Can Fred work with our procurement process?
Yes. Fred provides a W-9 and a Certificate of Insurance, signs your vendor agreement, and invoices against your purchase order. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the balance is due net 15.
Is Fred's fee all-inclusive?
Yes, for events in the New York and New Jersey area, with no hidden costs. For events that require travel, flights and hotel are quoted up front. After a short call, Fred sends a clear recommendation and quote you can share with your team.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Fall and December are the busiest months for company events and holiday parties.
Does Fred travel?
Yes. Fred is based in Denville, NJ, 45 minutes from Manhattan, and performs for companies throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and nationwide. He is a native French speaker and can also perform in French.
