John is an award winning mentalist who uses sleight of mind and psychological trickery rather than sleight of hand.
In doing so he creates the very real, funny and slightly spooky illusion of mind reading, predictions of the future and personality readings.

John is absolutely fantastic!! We enquired after he was recommended to us. John came to our house to give us a demonstration of what to expect and we were blown away! So many of our guests commented afterwards at how entertaining and impressive he was. We would definitely recommend John for any wedding entertainment! More...

I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any function. Extremely versatile and very popular.. If you want your occasion to be memorable then John the mentalist is for you.. More...

On the day of mine and Kevin Mclaughlins' wedding in 2016, John came and literally entertained all our guests and family tirelessly ALL DAY. The tricks and magic we all witnessed are still being talked about, we are STILL baffled and left us wanting more. Off to the Bolton Magic Club on Saturday with friends, to get all our minds blown.

We have booked magicians in the past and had mixed results. We won't be looking any further than John The Mentalist in the future. Best close up entertainer we have had and we've had a few at various events over the years. Highly recommended. 5 stars More...

If your looking for someone to truly mash the brains of people then I would recommend John. Scary and yet funny at the same time. Like a magician but much better. You'll not be disappointed. More...

Roger Whitehead
Ok he's not a magician but if he were i'd say he's the best magician i've seen, close up or TV. My head still hurts with the things he did. Entertaining and funny, kept everyone captivated and stayed behind chatting and engaging guests at our reception. Worth every penny. More...

Thank you Roger, your friends and family made it what it was - a fantastic day to remember.
How long have you been interested in magic?
Was founded abandoned as a baby on a snowy hilltop by a tall man , well he would be to me at that time anyway. He sported long white hair and a flowing beard. The Big G, I was to later find out was his name. Later in life having been expelled from boarding school, I always hated Hogwarts, I my story begins............oh ok, I was hooked as a child and turned my hobby into my passion and then into my mortgage, just love performing, entertaining and adding that something special to your event.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Your in for a real treat I promise but you guys are the real stars not me. I simply facilitate the fun. You will , off course, be amazed, captivated and entertained but it's together we achieve this, its certainly not all about me. My objective is simple , to provide top class entertainment that will enhance the event. If its just slight of hand magic you want then I'm probably not your guy, but if its mystery entertainment with laughter, shock and fun and then it's perfect for your event. I guarantee it will be great and you'll be happy to have booked me.
What do you love most about your job?
To entertain and leave guests with a feeling of wonder and awe. To be a small part of the greater goal which is the event itself. It is truly humbling to play a positive part in other peoples lives and together feel that sense of wonder that is normally reserved for children. To be able to give that feeling is a blessing and the greatest job in the world.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It was my hobby but was inundated with requests to perform so here I am.
Why should our clients choose you?
I would! Honest. There are some dodgy entertainers out there who damage the reputation of our craft. I strive not to be one of those. Expect to be amazed, to be baffled, to be a little scared, but above all, expect to be entertained and left with lasting memories . Maybe, and hopefully, I , as with many others out there, can give this great art a great name once again. I predict our paths will cross at some point but until then, good luck and best wishes. p.s did I say its fun, it really is :-)
