ABOUT WORKING WITH ME

You’re probably here to decide whether this feels like a safe decision.

I’m Shane Black. I’ve been performing mentalism and psychological entertainment at live events for over twenty years. Most of my work these days is corporate, with a handful of weddings and private events each year.

What I do sits somewhere between psychology and performance. It’s built around observation, reading people, and creating moments that happen in real time.

The work I’m known for doesn’t come from being everywhere. It comes from doing the job well on the night, and people passing my name on afterwards.

I’ve learned what actually matters. I can read when a room needs energy and when it needs space. I know the difference between a moment that lands and one that feels forced. And I understand your event has a purpose beyond the entertainment.

From your point of view, this should feel straightforward. You shouldn’t need to manage me or second-guess how it’ll go. I usually work one of two ways: a short performance for the whole room, or I move through the event and create moments as they naturally fit. Either way, it’s about engagement without throwing off your evening.

Nothing’s templated. It’s all shaped around your audience, your venue, and what you’re actually trying to achieve.

I work with a limited number of events each year because the work only succeeds when the fit is right. That means being selective about where I perform, but it also means every booking gets the attention it deserves.

If you’d like to see how this translates on the night, my videos and reviews will give you a better sense than anything I can say here.
