Brad Baker | Mentalist & Psychic Entertainer
Overview
I present strange phenomena (mind-reading, precognition, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and hypnotism) showing the power our mind holds and its ability to either help or hinder our lives. I not only entertain with mental mysteries but also show others how to tap into their intuition and subconscious potential, giving people permanent mental tools or at least something to think about long after a performance.

November 1, 2023Simply, the BEST!
Hired Brad to entertain our guests during the cocktail hour of our wedding, and he went above & beyond for us!
He was super friendly, responsive and very easy to chat with not only on the phone, but with all of my guests as well - he had no problem striking up conversations!
His hand reading was extremely throughout and his deep expertise on the subject was very evident through the amount of detailed information he was able to share. He was kind and present with each guest, and they had only great things to say about him afterward!
Brad is extremely punctual, professional and entertaining - he would fit right in at any party or wedding!

September 26, 2023Great job
Brad was punctual, personable, and professional. We had a small gathering for a friend’s birthday, and she really enjoyed Brad’s performance and interaction.
Some of the feedback our guests asked me to include:
“Personable and flexible, able to read the room.”
“I really enjoyed the entire performance but liked the mentalism portion the best!!!”

Brad was fantastic at our event! He did one on one Palm and Tarot readings and stayed late to make sure all of our guests had a chance to participate! So appreciated!
Highly recommend for your event!

What to expect
Walk-around:
Multiple routines to allow people to see multiple performances. They are always fresh. Routines cover everything from card magic, metal bending using someone else's keys or coins, hypnosis creating temporary amnesia and catalepsy, telepathy and reading peoples minds, unlocking their phones, knowing what person they're thinking of and more.
People can also receive complimentary tarot readings and palm readings during walk around performances. People are free to take pictures of the actual reading and take notes.
Stage Show:
Thirty to fifteen minutes before the show, Brad interacts with the guests either seated at their tables or chairs or at a booth where he offers complimentary tarot and palm readings, giving the audience a taste of what's in store for the evening. He also invites people to start thinking of questions or things that would be interesting to reveal during the show.
The lights dim and the show begins. For the next 45 minutes Brad explores the depths of the human mind. He not only reads minds, hypnotizes people to forget their names, and bends metal using only his mind; he shows how our minds work. He challenges audience members to push their own intuitive abilities, getting audience members to read his mind and each others minds.
Things do get personal. Everyone learns how we're all concerned about the same things. The benefits and limits of holding on to our memories and past. Audience members are invited to share their story in one of the most interactive experiences of their lives.
It is both funny and deeply sentimental. The message of the show: persistence, sincerity, and passion are the ingredients of real magic.
About
With a background in traditional magic and theater, Brad also grew up with a love of people, psychology, and the paranormal.
In 2019 he was featured in the popular reality TV series Encore! on Disney+ where he gave a 100% accurate palm reading regarding the health of a former classmate that he hadn't seen in 10 years.
For the past decade Brad has devoted himself to learning everything about the human mind and applying it in a practical way towards his form entertainment. Hypnosis, psychic readings, influence and persuasion tactics, and occult phenomena such as telekinesis, telepathy, precognition and clairvoyance.

Influences and inspiration
I have studied techniques and do similar stunts that performers like David Blaine, Derren Brown, and the amazing Kreskin have performed. I love their impromptu style, naturalism, and the way they raise the stakes during their acts. I've also been heavily influenced by Milton Erickson and his work on indirect suggestion and hypnosis.
Setup requirements
Small table roughly 1' x 1'
4 x Chairs, preferably folding chairs
