Welcome
Mentalist, Mind Magician or Psychological Illusionist, call him what you will, Alex McAleer reads minds. At just twenty-six, Alex has become a sought-after entertainer across the UK. He doesn’t claim to be psychic. He doesn’t read palms or talk to the dead; he reads people and talks to the living.
“I’m not the usual hackneyed, mysterious, brooding magician who takes himself too seriously. I want people to laugh and enjoy meeting one of the country’s few professional mind readers. I provide a new and exciting experience for people.”
Combining a sharp wit and a flair for showmanship with his unusual psychological magic, Alex creates a fascinating and highly interactive performance which leaves people utterly entertained and is ideal for the adult audience seeking a thought provoking form of entertainment.
Stand-Up & Close-Up Mind Reader
Alex’s career has seen him perform for countless party guests, theatre audiences and even royalty. He has delighted corporate clients ranging from small, independent companies to some big names like Virgin Atlantic, The Ferrari Owners Club, The BBC, Greene King, The Princes Trust, Marriot Hotels, Addison Lee… plus many more.
Alex performs his psychological magic across England at wedding receptions, civil partnerships, corporate events, private parties, Christmas parties, birthday parties (from eighteenths to sixtieths), cabaret nights, and theatre shows.
Stand-Up Entertainment
Alex’s stage and cabaret act is an extraordinary display of contemporary mind reading. He is frequently booked as after dinner entertainment for both corporate events and private functions and regularly makes appearances as a guest-artiste in cabaret and variety shows across the UK.
Alex’s forty-five minute show is full of laughs, applause and audience participation. He tells people words, names, places and drawings they are merely thinking of; facts about themselves he couldn’t possibly know; he teaches one lucky member of the audience how to be a mind reader and he even predicts the lottery… sort of.
Alex’s experience as a stand-up performer means he is flexible enough to entertain hundreds of guests at a large corporate event or just a few close friends around a dinner table. His creativity and expertise in his field allow him to create Bespoke and Unique Stunts for publicity events and incorporate your message into his Trade Show & Exhibition performances by engaging with the passing trade, leaving potential customers associating your product with an unforgettable experience.
Close-Up Entertainment
This style of performance is versatile, self-contained and suitable for almost any occasion. Alex’s friendly, captivating and humorous style is the perfect ice breaker that really gets people talking and enjoying themselves.
Alex performs in such a way that people experience his mind reading skills up close. This is the kind of thing they might have seen on TV, only nothing can be set-up and there’s no possibility of using actors or stooges – everyone gets to see everything in front of them as it happens.
Sometimes known as walkaround, mix and mingle or table hopping, close up magic has become very popular at weddings, corporate events and private parties, but what Alex offers is something different to the usual close up magician. Alex can walkaround, mingling with guests, amazing them with his mind reading skills, or alternatively he can perform as a static close-up entertainer, allowing people to approach him – either as himself or his very special Mind Reading Machine act.
