  • May rely more on standard tricks rather than personalized performances

Advanced Magicians – $700 to $1,300 per hour

  • Usually 5-15 years of experience

  • Strong stage presence, audience interaction, and high-quality effects

  • Most professional mentalists fall into this category

Mentalism vs Magic – Why Mentalism Costs More

When booking entertainment for your event, you might wonder: what’s the difference between a magician and a mentalist? And more importantly, why does mentalism often cost more?

Unlike traditional magic, which focuses on sleight of hand and visual tricks, mentalism taps into psychology, influence, and audience participation to create an immersive experience. A skilled mentalist like Andy the Mentalist doesn’t just perform tricks; he creates mind-blowing moments that make guests question reality.

Mentalism demands years of study in psychology, body language, and suggestion, making it a highly specialized art form. This expertise, combined with the unique impact it leaves on audiences, means mentalists are often in higher demand and command premium fees
