Entertainment for Peninsula Events
Santiago is a magician and mentalist from the Santa Cruz Mountains who performs regularly on the Peninsula. He has performed at Obscura, the variety night at The Hub in Redwood City, and he works company holiday parties, client appreciation dinners, team offsites and private celebrations from Palo Alto and Menlo Park to Mountain View and Los Altos.
His work is mentalism: mind reading and psychological illusion, blended with close-up magic that happens in the guests' own hands. It suits a room of founders, engineers and investors because it does not ask anyone to suspend disbelief. It invites them to work out what just happened.
Santiago has performed for twenty-five years, is a member of the Academy of Magical Arts at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and teaches at the McBride Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas.
Ways Santiago Performs at Your Event
Walk-Around Mentalism
For receptions, mixers and networking hours. Santiago performs for small groups as they mingle, so the room has something to talk about besides work.
Tableside at Dinner
For a client dinner or a private dining room. Santiago visits each table between courses, close enough that every guest is part of it.
Featured Set
A 20 to 30 minute performance the whole room watches together, for an after-dinner program, an awards night or a milestone toast.
Santiago brings everything the performance needs. No stage, no sound system and no setup, so it fits a private dining room as easily as a ballroom.
Santiago at Obscura in Redwood City
“A Truly Enchanting Experience. We had the pleasure of welcoming Santiago to our corporate gala, and what unfolded was nothing short of extraordinary. With a calm presence and quiet confidence, he guided us through an experience that felt both deeply personal and universally captivating. This wasn't just a few card tricks, it was psychological entertainment at its finest. He effortlessly blended humor, audience interaction, and jaw-dropping moments that had even our most analytical colleagues questioning reality. It sparked conversation for hours afterward. What really stood out was his professionalism and ability to adapt to our business environment. He was polished, respectful, and knew exactly how to engage a diverse corporate audience without ever crossing a line.”
“Santiago is a brilliant performer! Everyone was amazed, and we will always have him back!”
