What if everything you see, hear, and believe… isn’t quite what it seems?
Prepare to question reality as you step into the world of Mind Over Magic—where thoughts are guided, choices are predicted, and perception itself becomes the ultimate illusion.
Through a blend of psychology, influence, and a touch of the impossible, I will take you on a journey where your mind becomes the stage, and your decisions—no matter how free they feel—have already been anticipated.
So take a deep breath, open your mind… and let’s begin.

January 26, 2026Baxley, the Mentalist, performed at our corporate holiday party in January. My only hope was that there would be a couple of cool moments. EVERY SINGLE moment of his performance was beyond just being cool - it was AMAZING! I have no idea how he did the things that he did - it was seriously like he was reading everyone's minds. Totally blown away! A++!

February 12, 2025So good! Stephen entertained an entire room of high school students and adults for well over an hour. The same question of amazement kept popping up… how did he do that!?! From performing as a mentalist to his close-up magic, he had us locked in. Stephen is not only good at his craft, he is also a fantastic guy to be around. Fun, charismatic and great at what he does! 10 out of 10… would recommend.

June 7, 2022Giggles and laughter could be heard for miles as Stephen Baxley provided up-close and interactive magic at our Father-Daughter dance. Don't be fooled into thinking this was just for the little girls, as Dad's were probably the most fun to watch! They certainly walked away scratching their heads thinking, "how did he do that?" Cherish Center HIGHLY recommends working with Stephen!!
