Showreel of just under a minute, without speech: music and ambience over footage of Tijl Kerckhove performing close-up mentalism at real events — guests at the table, at receptions, at weddings and moving between small groups, with their reactions in frame. The text that appears on screen reads, in order: “Psychological illusions up close”, “Close-up mentalism”, “Tijl Kerckhove”, “A shared experience that becomes a lasting story”, “Two options”, “Both simple to host, seamless in any setting”, “We create memories that ignite conversation and spark connections”, “Tailored for the discerning organiser, our performances make your event stand out”, “Receptions, dinners, client events and staff parties”, “Mindf*cks”, and finally “Let’s talk — we help events stand out — info@tijlkerckhove.com”.
Bespoke encounters, shaped by modern mentalism.
Both effortlessly integrate into any setting. Designed to complement your event, not complicate it.

We orchestrate interactions that challenge the senses and evoke emotion. Audiences leave smiling, captivated, and unsettled. Not because their eyes were fooled, but because their mind was engaged.

Strangers talk, teams bond, and the energy shifts without you lifting a finger. Clear communication, minimal setup, reliable execution.

Close-up mentalism is psychological illusion at arm's length: no stage, no technology. Choices, thoughts and coincidences that nobody else is supposed to have a grip on.
On request. The price depends on the type of event, the format you choose (Walking or Seated), the number of guests and the travel distance. Tell me about your event and you get a tailored proposal.
A magician works with objects such as cards and coins. With a mentalist it is the thoughts and choices of your guests. A mentalist acts as though he has a grip on things you cannot possibly have a grip on.
