About Andy Nunn

Andy Nunn is a Sydney-based mentalist who has spent 25 years on stage and worked more than a thousand events. A mentalist trades in thoughts, choices, memories and predictions rather than cards and coins, using psychology, observation and suggestion to create moments guests know should not be possible. He is clear that none of it is psychic; the interest is in how easily attention and belief can be shifted, which is also what his keynote speaking and leadership workshops are built on. There are three ways to book him. The stage show is a sharp, funny mind-reading set for the whole room, which suits conference sessions, awards nights, gala dinners and after-dinner slots. Roving mentalism is close-up work for small groups during arrival drinks, networking and cocktail receptions, with no stage and no setup to plan around. The complete event runs roving through drinks and then brings everyone together for the stage show later in the program, which is a common choice where the run sheet has both a mingling phase and a seated one. Every format is interactive rather than something guests sit and watch. People make choices, hold objects and end up part of the demonstration, and the tone stays playful and respectful so nobody is embarrassed. He has performed for groups from five people in a boardroom through to 5,000-person rooms at Sydney venues including ICC Sydney and the Hordern Pavilion, adapting the material to the audience and the format. To check a date, send the event date, venue, audience size and the atmosphere you want, and he will come back with availability, a recommended format and clear fee guidance.

Performance Details

Three formats are offered. The stage mentalism show is an interactive mind-reading set for the whole room, suited to conference sessions, awards nights, gala dinners and after-dinner entertainment. Roving mentalism is close-up work performed for small groups during arrival drinks, networking and cocktail receptions, with no stage and nothing to set up. The complete event combines the two, with roving through drinks and a stage show later in the program. Audiences take part throughout rather than watching passively, and the tone is kept playful so no guest is embarrassed. Andy has performed for groups from five people in a boardroom to 5,000-person rooms at Sydney venues including ICC Sydney and the Hordern Pavilion, adapting material, format and production to the room. Production needs are confirmed early when a stage show is booked.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mentalist, and how is it different from a magician?

A magician usually works with visual tricks using cards, coins or objects. A mentalist works with thoughts, choices, memories, influence and predictions. Andy blends both, but the act is more about the people in the room than the props, which is why it suits corporate audiences and awards nights.

Should we book the roving or the stage show?

Roving mentalism is best for arrival drinks, networking, cocktail parties and client events where guests are moving around. A stage show is best when you want the whole room focused on one shared moment. Many events use both, with roving first and a feature show later in the program.

What does it cost?

Fees are not published. Send through the date, venue, audience size and the kind of atmosphere you are after, and Andy will confirm availability, recommend the format that fits and provide clear pricing with no obligation.

What size audience does it work for?

Andy has performed for five people in a boardroom and for 5,000-person rooms at Sydney venues including ICC Sydney and the Hordern Pavilion. The format scales while keeping the experience personal, and production needs are confirmed early where a stage is involved.

Will guests who think it is silly still enjoy it?

Usually they enjoy it most. Because the demonstrations happen with guests' own thoughts, choices and reactions, the most sceptical people in the room tend to give the biggest reactions. The tone stays playful so nobody is made to look foolish.
