Rob Polonsky | Comedic Character Mind Reader Magician from Los Angeles, CA

“I’ve seen a lot of magic and mind-reading shows, and I’ve never seen anything like this.” — Benjamin B. I’m not your ordinary magician or mentalist. I give your guests something they haven’t seen before: a funny, interactive, character-driven mind-reading experience featuring impossible predictions, surprising reveals, original comedy songs, improvised crowd work, and themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome. I do more than a series of tricks — I create a shared experience where the audience becomes part of the show from start to finish. Thoughts are revealed, choices are predicted, volunteers help shape the comedy and magic in real time, and original songs woven throughout turn the inner voices we all deal with into something surprising, relatable, and joyful. Unlike a traditional magic or mentalism act, the performance features original comedic characters, each with their own unique style, costume, personality, and unique approach to mind-reading magic. Depending on your event, I can perform as a single character, move between multiple characters with costume changes, or create a custom character-driven experience that fits the tone of your event.
