Rusk Renovations

NYC is basically a second home for me now. I've been traveling here for so many shows that I may have to start looking for an apartment.

Rusk Renovations invited me to be part of a special company celebration in New York. They wanted sleek, contemporary, hip entertainment that would dazzle even their most skeptical employees.

The event was held at the Evergreen Shanghai in Manhattan, right down the street from Grand Central Station. Tonight was all about strolling mind reading, so I walked through the crowd for several hours amazing every guest in attendance up close and personal.

“Thank you so much for coming! Everyone was amazed and impressed. They’re still talking about the show. I can’t thank you enough.”
— Mary Kocy, Rusk Renovations

From NY to LA, I'm available for your event. Contact me today for more information!

The Hemi Hideout - Conference Entertainment

,

Last weekend I performed at a corporate conference outside Houston, TX. My show was the closing event for the company’s 2016 kickoff and was held in one of the coolest venues I’ve ever performed in. A mile or so off the main highway on some picturesque Texas farmland is a large unassuming barn known as the Hemi Hideout. Coming from the cold Chicago winter, my wife and I were thrilled to enjoy the sun while we explored the property.

Of course, we spent our time taking pictures and shooting video so we could remember the trip. Eventually we went in to see the performance space and were blown away by the interior. The Hemi Hideout is home to hundreds of vintage neon signs, classic cars, antique gas pumps, posters, tractors, and more. And it’s all for sale!

My show was held at the long end of the room under the bright neon lights. I could tell immediately that the room presented several challenges.

First, my show is designed for an audience that can focus on the performance. The bright lights could potentially be very distracting for an evening of entertainment. Luckily, the audience was attentive, fun, and responsive to my entire show!

Additionally, the acoustics in a large barn are not the greatest. My mic is top of the line, though, and we had no issues.

Part of being a good corporate entertainer is the ability to adapt to different venues with minimal experience in your surroundings. Frequently, I’ll be thrust into a new performance environment with only a few minutes to acquaint myself with the room. It’s this adaptability that has allowed me to perform my corporate mind reading shows in nearly any venue you could imagine.

After the show I mingled with the guests and wowed them with even more mind reading up close. Turns out, the company had heard about my work for a partner company in Jersey City, NJ and had been hoping to book me for over a year. I love when I learn of word-of-mouth referrals between clients. I always feel that my entertainment is world class but it’s great to hear someone else say it!

All in all, it was another successful trip. I doubt I’ll ever perform in as unique a venue as the Hemi Hideout.  As usual, here’s a video I put together from the trip - check out this amazing space!

Mats Inc.

Quick trip to Boston to provide entertainment for the Mats Inc. holiday event this year!

The event was held at their company headquarters for a group of around 50 employees. The audience was a pure delight, with playful banter and interactions added throughout the night.

Tomorrow it's on to Texas for another event. But first, check out these photos from tonight:

To give you an idea of how fun the audience was, enjoy this clip from the show!

My entertainment can work for an audience of 20 up to a group of 2,000. Contact me for more information today!

Rave Review From Cameron & Mittleman

I had a great time providing corporate entertainment for Cameron & Mittleman's 30th Anniversary Celebration a few weeks ago.

The event was held in the beautiful Aldrich Mansion in Warwick, Rhode Island. The audience was incredibly receptive and gave me multiple standing ovations at the finale of my performance.

As a result, I just received this kind letter thanking me for my performance.

Texas Tech University

The first college show of 2016 is in the books!

We just got back from Lubbock, TX, where I presented my full-length college show at Texas Tech University.

As many times as I've been to Texas I've never made it to Lubbock before, so it was great to see a new part of the state.

I did a campus teaser during the noon hour, where I read minds up close and personal in the TTU cafeterias and student union. The idea is to amaze the students and encourage them to come out and see the show that night.

“On behalf of the Tech Activities Board, I’d like to thank you for your delightful performance. Students raved about how mind boggling your performance was. I hope you liked performing as much as we liked to watch. We hope to work with you again in the future.”
— Margie Olivares, TTU Program Coordinator

Then, I took the stage in an ENORMOUS thousand seat auditorium for my performance. My wife took some incredible photos during the show:

I also took the time to film our journey. When you travel as much as we do, things are bound to go wrong. This time was no different - our luggage got lost! You can see the full trip in my most recent Tour Video:
