Cards spread across a table at a black-tie dinner

Where he works

Corporate magician in Geneva

Geneva books smaller evenings than most cities on this list, and takes them more seriously. Thirty people in a private room, a guest list nobody wants published, and an expectation that none of it appears on social media the next morning.

How pricing works

The register

Small rooms, high stakes, no photographs

Private banking client evenings, watch-industry hospitality, family-office dinners and the fringe programmes around the international institutions share one shape: a small number of people who matter a great deal, in a room that is deliberately not a ballroom.

That rules out most entertainment on register alone. What fits is a performer who sits down, works at conversational volume, and leaves without anyone having stood up, held a microphone, or been photographed.

A card held up to two guests standing at an evening reception — Nobody stood up, nobody held a microphone, and the group never got bigger than the people already talking to each other. That is the whole register a room like this asks for.

What Geneva asks for

Three things that come up on almost every brief

No photography
Not as a request, as a default. Nothing is taken, nothing is posted, and your event does not become content. He has no interest in the pictures either.
No client names, ever
This site publishes none, and that is a policy rather than a gap. Offer a reference in writing and it is used exactly as you wrote it; otherwise your booking does not exist publicly.
The mentalism register
For a room of private bankers or watch executives, card work reads as entertainment and mentalism reads as something worth discussing. Most Geneva evenings end up here.

Practical

The easiest logistics on this list

A short flight, hand luggage, and a Swiss venue that has already thought of everything. Geneva takes the least effort on the practical side, which leaves the conversation free for what matters: who is in the room and what the evening is for.

For the April watch-fair week, treat the calendar like Davos: the city fills, the hotels price accordingly, and lead time is the binding constraint.

Discretion: No photography, no naming, no exceptions without written consent

Questions worth asking before you book

Can you guarantee nothing is published?

Yes, and it is the standing arrangement rather than an upgrade. No photographs taken or used, no names anywhere, and the booking is not referenced. A published reference has to be offered in writing.

Does he perform in French?

No. He performs in English or Dutch. For a francophone room, mentalism carries considerably better because the material does not lean on language, but know the limit before you book.

Is a thirty person evening worth a fee like this?

Fair question, and it depends on who the thirty are. For a client evening where the relationships are worth seven figures, it usually is. For a staff dinner, it usually is not, and you will be told so.
