March 26, 2025Best mentalist!
Our overnight dance-a-thon was extremely enhanced by Fred's show. We had 170 high school students quiet and glued to Fred's dynamic style. He impressed us so much, and students were talking about how "weird and cool" his "mental architecture" was. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Allyson! It was a blast performing at Squan-A-Thon. Your students were so well-mannered and engaged, displaying rapt attention throughout the show—it was refreshing to see teenagers forget about their phones for an hour (that is, until we needed calculators to do math at 1:30 AM)! Congratulations to everyone for raising money for pediatric cancer—what an incredible cause, and I’m honored to have been part of it.
P.S. “Weird and cool” is the PERFECT compliment! :)
All the best,
Fred Berthelot
