Let’s face it—remote teams have seen it all. Happy hours that fizzle out after ten minutes. Trivia nights with awkward silences. Endless Zoom meetings with no personality. If you’re trying to bring energy back to your team without adding another item to their to-do list, a Virtual Mentalist Show might just be your new best friend.


This isn't your average screen-time filler. It's live. It's interactive. It's surprising in all the best ways. And if done right, it actually helps people feel more connected.

What Is a Virtual Mentalist Show, Anyway?

A Virtual Mentalist Show is a live, online performance where a professional mentalist reads minds, predicts choices, and creates moments of real connection—all through your screen. Sounds impossible, right? That’s half the fun.

Unlike traditional magic shows, a mentalist show is all about psychology, intuition, and suggestion. It's less about flashy props and more about how your team reacts, engages, and bonds.


I’m Spencer Grey, a full-time magician and mentalist who performs both in-person and virtual events. What I’ve seen over the past few years is this: remote teams are hungry for shared experiences. And a bit of mystery and surprise goes a long way.


Why This Works for Remote Teams

It’s easy to tune out during a virtual presentation. But try doing that when someone just guessed the name of your childhood pet.


Here's what makes a Virtual Mentalist Show work so well:

  • Interactive moments: People aren’t just watching—they’re part of the show

  • Genuine reactions: Laughter, shock, connection—it’s all real and in the moment

  • Low lift for planners: No shipping, no setup, no stress

  • Perfect for Zoom: It’s designed for this format, not just a live show crammed into a webcam


And most importantly: it makes your team feel something. And that “something” is a powerful tool for connection.


The Secret to Real Connection: Surprise + Shared Moments

When you can make someone laugh and gasp in the same five seconds, that sticks with them. It also creates something that Zoom meetings rarely do: a shared experience.

And shared experiences build stronger teams.


That’s why companies book me not just for entertainment, but for engagement. A magic team building workshop or Virtual Mentalist Show can break down walls, make introverts speak up, and remind everyone that working remotely doesn’t mean working alone.


You’ll see people lean in. Smile. React. And talk about it long after the call ends.

More Than Magic—It’s Team Building

Let’s talk about results. Here's what clients often say after a Virtual Mentalist Show:


  • “Our team felt seen.”

  • “That was actually fun.”

  • “We’re still talking about it weeks later.”


Sure, you could host another virtual trivia night. But it won’t have the same emotional punch. This is where fun corporate magic and intentional team building meet.

That’s also why I offer a magic team building workshop as an optional add-on. In this format, your team doesn’t just watch the magic—they learn how to perform a few tricks themselves. It’s light, hands-on, and encourages collaboration. Think of it as mental push-ups that make people smile.


Planning a Show? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re thinking, “OK, I want this, but how do I plan it?”—here’s the good news: it’s simple.


What you’ll need:

  • A Zoom or video call platform

  • A group of 10 to 500 people (yep, it scales)

  • A solid internet connection

  • A few volunteers willing to unmute


And that’s about it. As your magician for events, I bring the rest: the tricks, the tech, and the timing. I tailor each performance to fit your company culture and group size. Whether it’s a tight-knit team of 10 or a holiday celebration for 400, the show adjusts to you.


And yes, this works for all kinds of events:

  • Virtual holiday parties

  • Team celebrations

  • Off-site retreats

  • Onboarding experiences

  • Quarterly wrap-ups

Why People Search “Magician Near Me” for Virtual Events

It might sound weird, but people still Google “magician near me” or “magician hire near me” even when the show is virtual. Why? Because they want someone they can trust. Someone who understands corporate culture and doesn’t feel like a leftover from a kid’s birthday party.


As a corporate magician who has done hundreds of shows online, I’ve seen how powerful it is to work with someone who gets the vibe. Someone who knows how to engage professionals, make HR look good, and not embarrass anyone along the way.

Whether you’re booking a magician for corporate events, planning something special for your department, or just tired of the same old Zoom activities, I’m here to help.


What About the Cost?

Good question. The magician price for a virtual show depends on the length, group size, and any custom elements you want to include. But here’s the truth: this isn’t just about filling time. It’s about creating an experience your team will actually remember.

Think of it this way: if you had to assign a dollar amount to team morale, engagement, or that “Whoa, how did he do that?!” moment—what would that be worth?

My clients often say it’s the best money they spent all quarter.



What Makes Magician Spencer Grey Different?

Let’s cut to it. You’ve got options. But here’s what I bring to the table:

  • I’m not just a performer—I’m also a collaborator. Your goals are my goals.

  • I customize every show. No two events are ever the same.

  • I’m clean, funny, and professional. You won’t need to “warn” anyone beforehand.

  • I’ve done this hundreds of times, for companies big and small.
