Seated: mentalism at the table
Seated is mentalism at a fixed table. Your guests choose whether to take a seat.
During a dinner, a client event or a long programme, Seated provides a calm anchor point. Guests take a seat, in a small group, and step out of the bustle of the evening for a while.
The table has an atmosphere of its own: quieter than the rest of the party, and a touch conspiratorial.
The question you'll hear most that evening: have you been to that table yet?
What it is
The curious find their own way over.
With Walking, Tijl comes to your guests and picks the moment. Seated turns that around: there's one fixed table, and anyone who fancies it sits down, out of curiosity or because Tijl has asked them over. Everyone who experiences it has chosen to be there.
After the first group it runs by itself: guests who experienced it tell the ones who weren't there. Whoever hears about it wants to see it for themselves and comes by later in the evening. That way a buzz builds around that one table.
What happens here doesn't stay at the table.
Tijl orchestrates every session: he reads the group, chooses what to perform and builds to an ending no one sees coming. Guests don't keep a moment like that to themselves: it makes its way around the event the same evening.

Questions for Tijl
Practical
When should I choose Seated?
Seated fits when you want one spot where something special happens: during a dinner, client event, executive meeting or staff party. Your guests choose whether to take a seat, and it also works as a moment of calm in a busy programme.
Tell me about your event and I'll send you a proposal.
How many guests can take a seat?
Count on 25 to 40 guests per hour, depending on the pace and the group size at the table. We work out beforehand how many rounds fit, so the programme never feels rushed. Whether every guest gets a turn depends on the evening: not everyone wants to sit down, and there's only time for so many rounds. Anyone who doesn't want to miss it only has to ask, and I'll make sure they don't.
What do I need to arrange?
A quiet spot is all it takes. No stage, no microphone, no technical setup: I bring the table myself.
How long does Seated last?
Usually one to two and a half hours. Each set runs 10 to 20 minutes per group, depending on the group, the rhythm of the evening and the setting.
Does Seated work with a multilingual audience?
Yes. I work in English and Dutch and switch smoothly between the two, even at the same table.
Can I combine Walking and Seated?
Yes. A classic is Walking during the reception and Seated later on, whenever it suits the flow of the evening better. The event gets movement first and a fixed point after. Which balance fits depends on the programme and the timing. We work that out together beforehand.
