Overview
An Evening with Fred Zimmerman | The Chicago Mentalist where an actor prepares ... to read your mind.
Fred is a professional actor from Chicago, and when he isn't onstage getting inside the heads of his characters, he's appearing at corporate events & tradeshows, private parties, and Chicago nightclubs, getting inside the heads of his audience.
It's fun, smart, modern entertainment.

Everything I asked of Fred was done the right way the first time through! You could tell from the video he put out for me that he had put deep thought into it. Really would recommend him!

Fred gave a highly engaging, entertaining, and professional performance for our group, and the feedback from attendees was universally positive. It was the perfect post-dinner entertainment for our ~20-person corporate event. Each of the different mentalist tricks were progressively more awe-inspiring, and the overall routine moved along at a good pace. Fred's witty comments and dialogue between and during tricks kept everyone engaged throughout. It was also a nice touch that he personalized the routine to our group and company. We've hired many different types of entertainment over the years but this was our first 'mentalist' - we would definitely engage Fred again and would highly recommend him to others.

What to Expect
Fred is not like other Mentalists or magicians. He approaches "mentalism" from the POV of an actor.
Onstage, Fred routinely gets inside the head of his characters; who are they, what drives them to behave the way they do, how would they react in a given situation, etc. Fred has taken these skills and applied them to his audience; who are they, what drives them, why do they behave the way they do, and how can I get them to behave the way I WANT them to, etc?
It's fun and fascinating, and by the end of the show Fred reveals how these skills can be used to not only read minds, but to make a better world.

Set List
My set list is flexible, and I adapt it to the group, the occasion, and the physical environment. I try to have a conversation with the host prior to the event to get an overview of the situation, the audience, etc. I then decide which demonstrations would be best suited for the group.
Setup Requirements
I normally bring a banner stand (not mandatory), a small table, and a mic.
