Zephyr | Comedy Mentalist & Mind Reader

When you book Zephyr, you’re getting interactive mind reading magic and comedy built around your guests. Performances combine mentalism, improvisation, audience participation, and Zephyr’s completely unexpected brand of character-driven comedy.

STROLLING / WALK-AROUND MIND READING MAGIC
Zephyr mingles with your guests, performing mind reading and mentalism up close for small groups throughout the event. It’s perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, dinners, and parties where guests are moving around and socializing.

PARLOR OR STAGE SHOW
A 30–45 minute comedy mentalism show for the entire group featuring mind reading, audience participation, impossible moments, and spontaneous comedy. The show can be adapted to fit the size and style of your event.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Zephyr’s performances are playful, welcoming, and highly interactive. Guests become part of the fun without being embarrassed or put on the spot. The goal is to create huge laughs, genuine reactions, and the kind of moments your guests are still talking about after the event.

Mind reading magic. Comedy. Completely unexpected.

I’m Rob Polonsky, the Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, and mentalist behind Zephyr the Mentalist. I combine astonishing mind reading magic with character-driven comedy, improv, and audience interaction to create performances that are spontaneous, surprising, and genuinely funny.

I’m a Magician Member of the world-famous Magic Castle and train in the advanced levels of The Groundlings Theatre, where I continue to develop my comedy, sketch, and improvisation work.
Early in my career, I co-created the viral YouTube channel Chad, Matt & Rob, whose videos have received more than 100 million views.

Before returning to performing full time, I spent 15 years leading creative teams at Google, Amazon, and Disney. That combination of mentalism, comedy, storytelling, improv, and professional experience is what I bring to every event—whether I’m performing mind reading magic up close with guests or a show for the entire room.

STROLLING / WALK-AROUND MIND READING MAGIC
Fully self-contained. No staging, sound system, or special equipment is required. Zephyr brings everything needed and moves throughout the event performing directly for your guests.

PARLOR OR STAGE SHOW
Sound: Zephyr provides a professional wireless headset microphone and receiver. For larger audiences, access to the venue’s PA system or house mixer is preferred. If a suitable sound system is not available, audio needs can be coordinated in advance.

Performance Space: A clear, well-lit performance area or stage with good sightlines for the audience. No elaborate set or staging is required.

Audience Access: Because the show includes audience participation, an easy path between the audience and performance area is helpful.

Lighting: No complicated lighting or technical cues are required. Standard house lighting or a basic stage wash works perfectly.
