Magic for grown ups!
Mentalist, magician, speaker Jose Ahonen
An illusion that doesn't happen in the magician's hands, but in the minds of the audience.
MIND GAMES! - Magic for grown ups and entertainment for corporate audiences
You've organized events before. You know how it feels when the program hits the mark. You also know the feeling when everything looks perfect on paper, yet the atmosphere falls flat.
What if this time something happened that had people talking even a week later?
Mentalist Jose Ahonen’s performance is not traditional entertainment. It's an experience that makes audiences laugh, gasp in amazement, and have genuine insights. It’s impossible to fully describe in advance because you truly understand it only when you experience it firsthand. Every performance is a captivating blend of psychology, humor, and above all, active audience participation.
Jose is a master of psychological magic and the human mind, enchanting audiences through deception, suggestion, and mind-reading. This show doesn't just entertain—it sparks conversations and creates memorable experiences that linger. Thunderous applause, often accompanied by standing ovations, is an essential part of every show.
Jose has entertained everyone from Japanese engineers to Finnish plumbers, and everyone in between. Each performance adapts seamlessly to your audience’s background, culture, and atmosphere, tailored specifically to your event.
The mentalism show scales effortlessly according to the size and nature of your event. It fits equally well in large concert halls and theaters with thousands of attendees, as it does in an intimate company lounge with a group of ten.
Who is this perfect for?
Corporate parties seeking impactful, memorable entertainment.
Kick-off events aimed at boosting energy and team spirit.
Client events looking to stand out and impress.
Weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or birthdays that crave something entirely different from traditional entertainment.
Duration: Approx. 30 minutes.
Let's schedule a Zoom meeting where Jose can tell you more about his performance and explain why a mentalist might be exactly the right choice for your event.
Jose who?
Over the past 15 years, Jose has performed for a wide range of corporate clients and organizations across Finland, from intimate executive retreats to large-scale company events. His client list includes prominent names such as Nokia, Finnair, the Government of Finland, Google, Kone, Nordea, Metsä Group, and ABB. His reputation for creating intelligent, audience-engaging performances has also taken him abroad, with appearances in the United States, Czech Republic, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Jose is also a trusted performer for Finland’s leading entertainment agencies—when the evening’s success truly matters, they call Jose.
His outstanding work in magic has earned him prestigious awards, including the Emeritus Reijo Salminen Trophy from the Finnish Magic Circle in both 2024 and 2025, recognizing long-term excellence in magical arts, and the Timo Tuomivaara Award in 2019. Jose is also a proud member of the exclusive Psychic Entertainers Association, comprising only about 250 of the world's best professional mentalists, hypnotists, and psychic entertainers. Additionally, he is a member of the Finnish Magic Circle and founder of Club Harha, Finland’s longest-running magic club. Beyond performing, Jose has consulted numerous colleagues on creating impactful magical performances.
Jose is also an accomplished author, having published several successful books including 'Yli luonnollisen' (Atena/Otava), 'Ajattele kuin mentalisti' (Atena), and 'Huijauksen Anatomia' (co-authored with Pete Poskiparta, Readme). His books have enjoyed multiple editions and consistently rank among the most listened-to audiobooks.
Beyond mentalism, Jose has also made his mark digitally. In 2014, his viral video amassed tens of millions of views worldwide, gaining attention from major international media outlets.
During 2023–2024, Jose toured Finland with his solo performance 'Yli luonnollisen,' visiting 26 theaters across 24 cities. The tour attracted new audiences who don't typically attend mentalism or magic shows and achieved multiple sold-out performances, including in Tampere (Tampere Hall’s Small Hall, Palatsiteatteri) and at Oulu’s nearly 500-seat Pohjankartano Hall. The tour culminated with additional sold-out performances at Rakastajat Theater in Pori, produced by Komediatalo, with Raimo Lusma as the opening act.
“Thank you so much for your exceptionally captivating performance. Everyone enjoyed it greatly and kept praising your show long after you had left.”
