July 11, 2023Keith 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!

January 22, 2023Fun 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.

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