WHY NICK AT YOUR PRIVATE PARTY?

An Unforgettable Experience

In Your Living Room

This isn’t background entertainment. When the cake is cut or dessert is out, your guests gather in the living room, family room or finished basement, and Nick puts on a 50-minute stand-up magic and mind reading show for the whole room. He picks volunteers, including the guest of honor, and the room becomes part of the act: secret thoughts revealed, impossible predictions and plenty of laughs.

Want more? Add strolling close-up mentalism as guests arrive. Nick moves through your home performing for small groups of 3–8, inches away. The favorite combo is an hour of strolling, then the show after dinner. No stage, no setup, no hassle. Just an evening your guests talk about for months.

Searching for a “psychic entertainer” or a “party psychic”? Plenty of hosts are, and what they usually want is exactly this show: guests’ thoughts revealed, impossible predictions and a room full of people asking how. I am a mentalist, not a psychic, so it is all in fun and nobody is told anything about their future. Here is how a psychic entertainer compares to a mentalist.

In-Home FAQ

In-Home FAQ

No question is too small. Reach out and Nick will walk you through everything.

Very little. For the show, your guests just need to see one spot in the room. Most living rooms, family rooms and finished basements are perfect, and no stage is needed. For strolling close-up mentalism, Nick just needs room to move between guests.

Yes. The 50-minute in-home show is a parlor-style performance where your whole group watches together, with the guest of honor in the spotlight. It’s the most-requested option for adult birthday parties. Many hosts also add strolling close-up mentalism during cocktails, then the show after dinner.

Walk-around (strolling) mentalism works best while guests are arriving and mingling with drinks. Nick moves from group to group, performing for 3–8 people at a time. The 50-minute stand-up show is best once everyone is in one room, usually after dinner or cake. Most adult parties do both: walk-around as guests arrive, then the show after dinner.

Yes. The show is built for adults: clever, interactive and funny without being crude. No balloon animals, no kids’ tricks. It’s a perfect fit for adult birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties and cocktail parties. Guests 13 and up are welcome too.
