Sidney is amazing!

I can't say enough about Sidney. He was that perfect added touch that made our whole party come together. We had 40-50 guests. Sidney did not leave one persons jaw undropped. Even the biggest skeptic at our party was left speachless. He was so warm and kind to everyone. I previously hired a different person to give readings and they cancelled the day of the party. I put a notice on gig salad and Sidney contacted me back within a half hour and agreed to do the party that same day. I'm actually glad the other person cancelled, things just have a way of working out the way they are meant to sometimes. I would definitely hire Sidney again in the future, and you should too!

Sidney's performance absolutely wowed our guests! Without a doubt the highlight of our holiday party. This is not your typical "magic" show, Sidney really gets your audience thinking! On a professional level, he was also a pleasure to work with. He was well prepared and helpful the day of the event - a welcomed relief on a day that's already hectic. I highly recommend Sidney and would without a doubt work with him again in the future.

Sidney Friedman Wows the Audience in Greater New Haven, CT.

The Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven recently hosted a successful community campaign featuring Sidney Friedman, "Mentalist to the Stars". Having seen Sidney Friedman a few years ago through another Federation, I was determined to bring him to the greater New Haven community. The outcome was beyond my expectations. It was a fascinating, entertaining and engaging program.

The highlight was that Mr. Friedman was able to articulate and integrate the Jewish Federation message of into his performance. So many attendees stated this was the best Federation event they had ever been to; the crowd eagerly engaged and participated and our lay leadership enjoyed Sidney's show as well as the enthusiastic impact he had on our audience. Sidney effectively weaved our Federation message into his performance which resulted in people opening their hearts and pockets, making their annual campaign pledges after his performance. I think he used his psychic powers to help increase gifts!

I highly recommend Sidney Friedman to every Federation looking for an enjoyable, engaging, and entertaining program to wow their donors and increase annual campaign giving.

Incredible! Outstanding! Amazing!

I have a WOW thank you for Sidney! Just a note to tell you how much everyone was blown away by your performance at our home Saturday afternoon. It was't just your extrasensory ability and musical talent that was obvious and enjoyed by everyone....there was an invisible something, a sweetness, a gentleness directed at Inez. I felt it and I hope she did too. Thank you again for an unforgettable afternoon.

Amazing entertainment that related to our Business.

Sidney did a wonderful job entertaining us at our company meeting. However, even better than that, he spent the time with our leadership learning all about our Behavioral Health Hospitals and was able to make his act very relevant to us specifically. The participants were blown away by the act and even several days and weeks after the event they are still raving about the performance. I would strongly recommend Sidney Friedman to any group that wanted to be amazed and have their spirits lifted.

The audience stayed engaged.... even the skeptics!

We've all seen this: Ten minutes into an inspirational/motivational speaker, the guest slides his pelvis forward in the chair and leans back. The right ankle comes up to rest on the left knee. Then the hands disappear under the table. While the head remains seemingly aimed at the speaker, the eyes are clearly focused under the table.... and the guest is now firmly engaged with his cell phone. He's gone. He's in another galaxy. You've lost him.

No more! I wanted a speaker/performer that would engage the audience and hold their attention, with a little audience participation thrown in. I wanted something different!

That's exactly what we got in Sidney Friedman. Sidney kept the audience fully engaged and shaking their heads in amazement. When he asked for volunteers, hands shot up all over the room. Even the skeptics wanted to participate! Sidney not only held their keen interest, but he left them asking "How did he do that??" and "What did I just see??". Sidney uses his gift in ways that are truly entertaining, while both unbelievable and believable at the same time.

There were no cell phones under tables during Sidney’s performance. That says a LOT! Sidney is a win-win-win!

Highlight of an already perfect day

Sidney Friedman performed at a celebration for my mother's 80th birthday. He captivated the audience (which included all ages from 2 1/2 to 88), with his charm and his engaging and interactive style. Sidney is warm, and funny as well as startlingly skilled as a mentalist. I have never seen a room filled with delighted faces, not a bored look among them. He made my mother feel so special and he wowed everyone. He was also very flexible and willing to work with us in a space which which smaller than ideal. I give him my highest recommendation as a performer and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. You couldn't possibly be anything but completely satisfied by choosing Sidney Friedman to perform at your event! Five stars and bravo!

Sidney Friedman is the most amazing Mentalist

Sidney Friedman performed at our client appreciation dinner and he was a unanimous HUGE hit!!! My guests and staff are still talking about him, clients are calling me and thanking me. He has a remarkable personable engaging way of presenting his "miracles," plus he weaved in our theme throughout the show, making the evening not only fun and spellbinding but also meaningful. Sidney is most likely the best mentalist in the world, plus just as important, he and his booking manager Richard are terrific to work with. If you don’t book Sidney for your next event you are missing out the most amazing show I have ever seen.

Review by Betsy J.

Hiring Sidney was a risk for us, because we had no idea whether people in the community would be interested enough to come. Well, they were! We had a large crowd that enjoyed this event immensely. The audience participation that Sidney engineered was hugely successful and created an electric anticipation for audience members, many of whom were hoping to participate. The audience was genuinely amazed at Sidney's abilities, but also appreciated his frank assessment of how successful he might be from show to show. After the show we could hear people everywhere -- in the lobby, in the parking lot, talking about which aspect of the performance they were most awed by. This was an extremely fun night and a really good fund raiser for our arts group.

What to Expect

Three things set mentalist Sidney Friedman apart from all other entertainers: 1) His performance makes Everyone feel special. He literally elevates an entire crowd as if he is speaking to each person individually. 2) Sidney and his staff are the easiest, most professional people to work with. Sidney doesn't want you satisfied. He wants you Wowed!!!

As seen on the Today Show and The View, Sidney's show features the art of perception and intuition performed to the highest degree, but more than that, your audience will feel charged up, happy and excited about our minds, our lives and all the possibilities.

The Friedman experience includes telepathy, extrasensory perception (ESP), premonition, even "mathemagic" and all kinds of extraordinary mind power. PLUS, uniquely and exclusively, you will see Friedman's "Music Mind Reading" where you think of specific songs, Friedman then senses them and plays them on the piano or guitar (See GigSalad Video).

In addition, Friedman customizes each presentation so your theme, concepts and goals are an integral part of the show.

TODAY SHOW host Hoda Kotb exclaims, "A few people are better at seeing the future than others, like mentalist Sidney Friedman...I love Sidney!"

Jo Jerman, the Sr. VP of Merck calls Friedman's show, "Simply outstanding!"

Win Christiansen, Sr. VP of McDonald's Corporation states, "Our people were (and still are!) spellbound by your feats. You absolutely captivated your entire audience."

And Dan Donahue, the Sr. VP of Campbell's Soup Company wrote: "You made an indelible impression.... You always do a great job of linking innovative and creative ability.... It means a great deal to us that you are also very entertaining and fun."

Additional Booking Notes

The technical requirements for Friedman's show are very simple and easy. With few exceptions, his show is adaptable to almost any environment and almost any space. A small table, a stool and a microphone are all that's required for smaller crowds. A small riser and some lighting are also needed for larger crowds, though often Friedman can bring his own lighting. Please inquire for specifics.
