Daniel Nicholas grew up on Long Island and has been performing mentalism full-time since 2017. He holds an MS in Healthcare Systems Engineering from Binghamton University, but walked away from that path to do this full-time. His client list includes Google, Meta, Goldman Sachs, and UBS. He's got 90+ five-star Google reviews and he's performed over 1,000 events across Nassau County, Suffolk County, and beyond.
He knows the Island. He knows the venues. And he doesn't do cookie-cutter shows. Every performance is built around your event, your guests, and the specific moment you're trying to create.
A DJ fills the room with sound. A band fills it with music. A mentalist fills it with something people can't explain. That's the difference. Mentalism is personal, it's interactive, and it hits differently than anything else you can book for an event.
Daniel has performed at corporate cocktail hours at Crest Hollow Country Club, private parties in Great Neck and Manhasset, and charity galas at Oheka Castle. He reads the room and adapts on the fly. That's what separates a working mentalist from someone doing tricks.
Daniel moves through the room during cocktail hours and receptions, performing mind-reading for small groups. No stage, no setup. Just real reactions from real people. It's the format clients rebook most.
When it happens right in front of you, it doesn't feel like entertainment. It feels like something you can't stop thinking about.
For seated dinners and galas, Daniel performs a full mentalism show with audience volunteers, predictions, and reveals that leave the entire room talking. He's performed for groups from 20 to over 5,000. The approach scales. The quality doesn't change.
Mentalism that turns private parties into something people talk about for months. Birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, and milestone events across Long Island.
Mind-reading right in front of your guests. No stage, no distance. The most intimate and personal format, perfect for cocktail hours and receptions at Long Island venues.
A full mentalism production for any room size. Audience volunteers, predictions, and reveals that leave the entire room stunned. From 50 to 5,000.
Mentalism custom-built for your company and your guests. Daniel reads the room, works the crowd, and leaves people talking long after the event ends.
90+ five-star reviews. Thousands of shows. Watch for yourself.
