FOUR WAYS TO BOOK. ONE PERFORMER.
PICK THE ONE THAT FITS YOUR NIGHT.
Phoenix does four genuinely different jobs. They suit different rooms, different run sheets and different audiences — and they are not interchangeable. Here is how to tell them apart in about thirty seconds.
Mentalism no hypnosis
The award-winning stage shows. Mind reading, impossible predictions and psychology, built around the people actually in the room. Best where there is a stage, decent sound and a moment when the room is looking one way.
No hypnosis in these shows. Nobody goes under. It is psychological mind reading, mind stunts and intricately composed outcomes, wrapped in sophisticated comedy.

Comedy Hypnosis separate show
The comedy hypnosis show, and a completely separate booking. Volunteers come up, the room does not stop laughing, and everyone leaves the stage looking like a rock star — that part is the whole point.

Emcee host & compère
Someone to hold the whole night together — keeping the run sheet moving, bridging the awards and the speeches, and reading the room when it drifts. A performer who hosts brings something a hired presenter cannot: he can lift a flat moment rather than just announce the next one.

Roving no stage needed
No stage, no AV, no setup — just guests. Phoenix works the room in small groups, around five minutes at a time. The right answer for cocktail hours, arrivals, networking and the awkward stretch before everyone sits down.
How roving worksENTERTAINMENT FOR CORPORATE EVENTS
Every kind of night has its own trap. Here is the one that belongs to yours, and how it gets handled.
Gala dinners
Between courses, or a feature set once plates are cleared. It works around the service rather than against it — and roving fills the stretch while people are still arriving.
Awards nights
Scheduled before the awards, never after. The night belongs to your winners; this warms the room, then gets out of the way.
Conferences
After eight hours of sessions a room needs something that uses them, not something else talking at them. Interactive, and awake at 4pm.
Christmas & end-of-year parties
Earlier than instinct suggests. Comedy survives an open bar; anything needing concentration does not. Let the party be the party afterwards.
Product launches & PR events
The reveal can be your product. A prediction that lands on your campaign line, or your new model, is a genuinely different launch moment — and it gets filmed.
Themed & custom events
Where a slogan, a theme or a brand message has to run through the entertainment rather than sit beside it. Built to the brief, not adapted to it.
Private functions
Smaller rooms, closer work. No stage required — the impossible happens six feet away, in their hands.
Cruise & international
1,000+ shows at sea across 25 years. Theatre-scale, tech-rehearsed, and used to an audience that has seen a great many performers.
Something more specific in mind — a brand message, a campaign line, a bespoke build? That is a different conversation, and a good one.
The mentalism shows contain no hypnosis. Mind reading and comedy hypnosis are two separate shows and two separate bookings. If you book mentalism, nobody is going under — it is psychological mind reading, mind stunts and intricately composed outcomes, wrapped in sophisticated comedy.
And if Comedy Hypnosis is what you came for, that is MIND GAMES — a genuinely different night, and a very good one.
