Keith was incredible!

We were all very impressed with Keith's mentalist performance, with his spot on mind reading and then guests were thoroughly entertained by his tarot card readings for the next 3 hours of the party. This was a rare combination of talent and all our guests were amazed! I would highly recommend hiring Keith!

Fun Mardi Gras Party

We hired Keith to do quick palm or tarot readings for a party of about 125 people. He was very personable, everyone who wanted a reading had a chance and thought it was a great experience. He showed up early to set up and was ready to go, communication before the event was great as well. He added a fun addition to our themed event!

Additional booking notes

For my mind-reading show: I have my own PA, which can realistically be heard in a room with 200-250 people. I prefer not to use a stage, as I spend much of time interacting directly with members of the audience. If you are also having a DJ, I am happy to use the DJ's PA with his/her permission to help save space & time.

For readings: A table & 3-4 chairs. An area not situated near loud music is ideal, but not required.

Set list

For my mind-reading show: the set can be anywhere from 20 - 90 mins

For readings: past experience has shown that I can realistically read for about 10 people in the course of 1 hour. If a more condensed time is desired, I can provide group palm readings or shortening the length of individual ones. Please specify in your request.

Influences and inspiration

Too many influences to list: I am influenced by everyone I meet, and my experiences with them.

Setup requirements

For mind-reading show: 6'x8' area. Level with floor is preferred, as I spend much of my show out in the audience.

For readings: table & 3 chairs. Separate area away from loud music is preferred, but not a requirement.
