Fred Berthelot: ARCHITECT OF THE MIND
As a professional mentalist and memory training expert (and a former architect in NYC), I entertain and educate audiences at corporate events, but I'm also passionate about supporting public libraries — our last true community centers. That's why I offer my unique programs at a discounted rate for libraries, helping to foster lifelong learning and community engagement for your patrons.
“You are truly AMAZING! Thank you for making our event MEMORABLE.”

With years of experience in the art of mentalism and memory, I've honed interactive and immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression. I've had the pleasure of presenting at libraries like Somerset and Princeton, and I'm excited to bring these unforgettable programs to your community.

I recently saw Fred Berthelot's entertaining presentation on Memory. He taught the audience methods to use to remember names, lists, etc. It was a lot of fun - and useful. He took the time to speak with people afterwards. Five Stars +

About Fred
-
He designed campuses, business schools, law schools, medical centers, dorms and research facilities for universities like UGA, Penn State, UPenn, Drake, Marist, Villanova, Ohio State, and Acadia, as well as business districts such as the Philadelphia Navy Yard, corporate headquarters such as Glaxo Smith Kline, and office buildings and skyscrapers such as the iconic "Carpe Diem" tower outside Paris in his native France.
Today, Fred no longer draws buildings - he draws thoughts from people's minds. As a mentalist, he reads audiences like a blueprint, and designs experiences that connect individuals and build lasting memories. Major companies like Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, and Publicis Groupe rely on his award-winning, customized, engaging and interactive performances to elevate events, celebrate teams and reinforce brand messaging.
Event planners rave about his professionalism and architectural precision, as well as his ability to relate with the crowd while over-delivering impactful entertainment. His 25+ years experience in the corporate world of architecture, coordinating complex projects and budgets with clients, engineers, consultants and contractors, as well as his life-long passion for magic, mentalism and performing, gives Fred a unique perspective on corporate entertainment.
Fred's mind-blowing teamwork finale won First Place as “Best Mentalist” at the 2023 Mindvention awards, judged by Las Vegas mentalist Banachek, world-renown mentalist Keith Barry, and corporate mentalist extraordinaire Richard Osterlind. Fred is also featured on NJ-Party.com as “New Jersey’s Best Magician and Mentalist.”
He also teaches interactive memory workshops, helping students unlock the amazing hidden potential of their untapped mind power.
Fred is an avid fan of Sting’s music, a self-professed geek, and lives with his wife, two daughters and one doghter in Denville, NJ.
