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.
-
Fred’s service is a custom, bespoke experience. Each event is different — size, location, date, time, customization, etc. He does not charge an hourly rate but an appearance fee for each event, based on the value he provides.
