Is a Virtual Mentalist Right For Your Next Online Event?
Looking for a one-of-a-kind entertainer to perform at your next online conference, fundraiser, or business meeting? A virtual mentalist might be the ticket!
If you’re not familiar with the profession, a mentalist is a mind reader who can make accurate predictions that stun audiences. A virtual mentalist, then, is a performer who can do this via a video conference tool like Zoom.
Mentalists are NOT psychics. They don’t commune with spirits or predict the future. They just have a unique ability to guess what audience members are thinking.
Why Should You Hire a Virtual Mentalist?
If we’re being honest, you probably never thought to hire a mentalist. You might even think them better suited to child birthday parties than adult events. But the truth is, mentalists can really elevate a get-together — in-person or virtual. Here’s why:
Audience Engagement
A virtual mentalist show requires audience participation. After all, no one would be impressed if the performer simply read their own mind. Since online events often struggle to engage audience members, this kind of act may be the perfect way to rope them in.
But don’t worry, not all of your event attendees will be forced to participate. Those who want to interact with the entertainer will be able to, while everyone else will be free to simply observe the show.
Flexible Formats
Virtual mentalists can also perform for a wide variety of gatherings.
Booking a large business conference via Zoom? Bring in a mentalist to perform live for your attendees. Hosting a hybrid employee training event? Hire a mentalist to entertain in between sessions.
Whatever kind of online get-together you have planned, a virtual mentalist can make it more entertaining and memorable — guaranteed!
