CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT
THAT SURVIVES A CORPORATE AUDIENCE.

A corporate entertainer for Sydney conferences, gala dinners, awards nights, Christmas parties and trade shows. Twenty-five years of it, for clients including Coca-Cola, IBM, Qantas, Porsche and KPMG.

Who books it

THE COMPANIES THAT BOOK IT TWICE

Corporate entertainment is a repeat business or it is nothing. These are clients from 25 years of corporate work, several of them repeatedly.

Coca-Cola

Invoiced and delivered. One of the two strongest names on the list.

IBM

Multiple engagements, including trade-show work.

Qantas · Porsche · KPMG

Three more from the same 25 years.

Microsoft · Mercedes-Benz · PwC

Also on the trusted-by wall.

What to book for which room

FOUR ROOMS, FOUR DIFFERENT ANSWERS

The most common mistake in corporate entertainment is booking the right performer for the wrong room. Here is the honest version.

Conference

An opener that wakes the room, or a closer that sends it out talking. Works best with a stage, decent sound and a moment when everyone is facing one way.

Gala dinner and awards night

A seated audience and a run sheet with gaps in it. The strongest fit of the four, and the one that most often turns into a repeat booking.

Christmas party

Sydney’s busiest season and the one that books earliest. November and December go first, often by mid-year.

Trade show and exhibition

A stand needs stopping power rather than a show. Roving works the aisle in short bursts and holds a crowd long enough for your people to talk to them.

Why this rather than a magician

THE DIFFERENCE A BOOKER ACTUALLY FEELS

A magician performs a prepared effect. A mentalist works with whatever your guests are thinking on the night, so the show is built out of the room rather than performed at it. That is why it survives a corporate audience that has seen entertainment before. Phoenix does both, and will tell you which one your night wants. The difference in full, or the magic and escape work.

Credentials

ASKED, NOT ADVERTISED

None of this was applied for. Each one arrived as an approach rather than a pitch, and each has a name attached that can be checked.

Consulted for a university

UNSW Future Minds Lab, on psychology and intuition, contracted by Professor Joel Pearson.

Spoke at SXSW Sydney 2025

“Neural Sorcery”, with Professor Joel Pearson.

Consulted for Hollywood

Official consultant and trainer on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, working with Taylor Kitsch on the card handling for Gambit.

Two festival awards, then the judging panel

Winner at the Melbourne Magic Festival in 2014 and 2015, and later invited back to judge it alongside Cosentino.

5.0 from 42 Google reviews

On the Google Business Profile, from real clients rather than selected testimonials.

1,000+ shows at sea

Across 500+ cruise contracts and more than 20 years continuously contracted, which is roughly where the 25 years of stagecraft came from.

Practical

WHAT YOUR AV COMPANY WILL WANT TO KNOW

Roving needs nothing

No stage, no AV, no setup. It can start while guests are arriving.

Stage shows need sound

A microphone that works and lighting that lets the room see faces.

Run sheet friendly

The set flexes. If the awards run long, the show absorbs it.

One contact, one invoice

Requirements agreed in writing before anything is confirmed.

Before you ask

NO HYPNOSIS IN ANY OF THESE SHOWS.
UNLESS YOU’D LIKE THAT.

Nobody goes under and nobody is put on the spot against their will. It is psychological mind reading and composed outcomes. But if comedy stage hypnosis is what you were actually after, that is very much on offer. It is a different show with its own site: sydneyhypnotist.live.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EVENT

Date, venue and roughly how many guests is enough to start. If a mentalist is the wrong call for your night, I will say so.
