What does the show need for setup?

Very little. Rick brings his own microphone and speaker for small and mid-size rooms, and he brings his own table. The venue needs to provide a clear area of about six feet by six feet. In larger rooms that already have a house sound system, he is glad to use the venue's wireless microphone instead.

How much space does a mentalist need to perform?

About six feet by six feet of clear floor is enough. There is no stage build, no risers and no load-in, so the show fits living rooms, private dining rooms, conference rooms and ballrooms equally well.

How long does setup take?

Under ten minutes. There is no equipment to wheel in and no sound check to schedule, so the room does not need to be held open ahead of the event.

Is there a technical rider?

No. There is no technical rider for the venue to sign off on, no stage build, no risers and no load-in crew.

The whole setup is a microphone and a room

Most entertainment arrives with a truck. A band needs a stage, a load-in door, power drops and two hours of sound check. A DJ needs tables and cable runs. A game show needs screens, buzzers and someone to run them.

Rick arrives with a bag. For small and mid-size rooms he brings his own microphone and speaker, and he brings his own table. What he needs from you is a clear patch of floor about six feet by six feet, and under ten minutes to set up. In a larger room that already has a house system, he is glad to use the venue's wireless mic instead.

There is nothing to build, nothing to wheel in through your lobby, and no technical rider for your venue to sign off on. Rick is fully insured, which is usually the one piece of paperwork a venue does ask about. If your room can hold a toast, it can hold this show.

Rooms this already works in

🍽️

Private dining rooms

A long table and low ceilings are not a problem. The show works seated, without anyone needing to move to a different room.

🏢

Conference and meeting rooms

The room your meeting is already booked in is usually the room the show happens in. No second venue, no reset between sessions.

🏠

Homes and private venues

A living room, a back garden or a restaurant's private room all work. Rick brings his own sound, so there is nothing for a host to hire in.

✨

Ballrooms and banquet halls

A house microphone and the existing stage, if there is one, are all that gets used. Nothing needs to be added to the room.

Why planners keep choosing it for tight rooms

A small footprint is not a compromise here. Mentalism is built on attention rather than volume, so a room of 30 in an office gets the same show as a ballroom of 200 — the same 45 minutes, the same participation, the same reactions.

It also means your budget goes into the performance instead of into production. There is no equipment rental line, no extra venue hours for setup and strike, and no crew to feed.

This was the most incredible experience and I’m left speechless. I consider myself skeptical and I can’t figure out how this was accomplished. Rick traveled to us, accommodated a time change, and helped us surprise our bride! He is a true professional and I would highly recommend you hire him at your next event. Our minds have absolutely been bent!! Incredible!
