Brian Ledbetter on How to Incorporate Mentalist Techniques Into your Daily Routine

April 19, 2019

by: Mentalist Brian Ledbetter As a mentalist, I perform my stage show at colleges, corporate events, casinos, fairs, and theatres, as well as on luxury cruise ships all over the world. I’m so often asked by people who have never seen my show, “What does a mentalist do?” – which is not an easy question to answer because as a mentalist I present such a wide variety of unusual demonstrations during my show.

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

“I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed their presentation at the Penn State Altoona University campus today. Cody is an amazing dancer. Mark is an amazing storyteller. Together with Jenny and Mark’s son, Niche (not sure how to spell it), it was a great experience, so personal and up close and it really left a feeling of joy and happiness as well as appreciation with me. I hope they continue celebrating, teaching, and sharing their heritage.”

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

Campus Feud

“I just wanted to get back to your email and let you know about how the event went. You guys were a pleasure to work with, as was Keith. He was an awesome host, very good with getting the students to get in teams and was very organized. He also went at a great pace, since we did have a larger turn out, he was very good about getting everyone involved and made sure everyone that wanted to play, could. Thank you guys so much for teaming up with us for this event. Have a great weekend. “

Brian Miller

The show went great! Our student staff loved him and said it was one of the best keynotes they have had for training in a long time! Brian was so great as usual. I had accidently messed up the time that I thought the students were arriving so he had to set up around the students and he was so gracious and easy going about the mistake. He even stayed after the show a bit for about 30 students or so who wanted to chat with him and he gave them a little extra magic too.
