"An absolutely insane show! One man playing three roles: mentalist, magician and stand-up comedian. Even the next day, our guests were still expressing their gratitude for an incomparable performance."
"The demeanor of Jose Ahonen somewhat resembles that of his American colleagues, but his artistry left the audience totally mesmerized. A real entertaining artist like Jose Ahonen enchants his audience and is able to create and maintain this atmosphere of enchantment with absolute control. I recommend warmly."
Mentalist Jose Ahonen offers you entertainment that will amaze even the most demanding audience, and takes you on a wild ride into the deep canyons of your imagination. An experienced showman, he engages his audience and leaves in his wake wonder, elation and the desire to be deceived again.
Jose is able to get his audience hooked, both on stage and on video. His YouTube video “Magic for Dogs” elevated him to worldwide fame, and subsequently his viral hits have acquired more than 50 million views. Among other acknowledgements, he was invited to shoot new videos for the Collective Digital Studio in Los Angeles. In Finland, Jose is a member of the “Scammers” group, which has made popular recordings and videos for radio and television.

These lectures are entertaining, and provide easy-to-remember and actionable information that benefits all professionals to whom effective interaction skills are important.
Jose has written the books “Think like a Mentalist” & ”The Anatomy of Deception”.

The Headliner show
”The Headliner” show takes you into the world of mentalism and mind control in an experience that will leave you confused yet laughing. Jose Ahonen, a master of psychological magic and reading of people, leads the audience through suggestion and mind reading, leaving them gasping for breath and questioning their own senses. Interactive, funny, astonishing and unique entertainment that has to be experienced in person! Duration approx. 30 min.
Mingling mentalism
Sometimes, the flow of an event or the structure of a space is best suited to interacting with the audience or entertaining guests one table group at a time. Thoughts are read, a watch disappears momentarily from a wrist, an engineering team ponders the mystery of a bending spoon even the next day. Jose navigates the room with experience, respectfully engages with people, and conjures up good vibes. There's also a touch of un-Finnish magic: strangers start chatting!
Keynote speeches
Think like a mentalist
How to better interpret people? How our brains deceive us, and what can we do about it? What are microexpressions and how can you read them? How to modify reality using psychological methods? How to motivate people effectively?
Jose has provided training on interaction skills and wonders of the human mind to various professionals, including airport security staff and police officers, supervisors and sales clerks. The lectures are custom designed for each target audience.
A skilled mentalist with a talent for his pen has also authored non-fiction books Beyond naturall (Atena/Otava), Think like a mentalist (Atena Publishing), and The Anatomy of deception (together with Pete Poskiparta, Readme). Several editions of these works have been published, and they have also been enjoyed among the top rankings on audiobook services
”Think Like a Mentalist” is an entertaining lecture full of practical information that will help you learn new things about yourself and others, as well as about effective interaction. This is no mumbo jumbo, but really incredible stuff about the wonders of the human mind.
