Entertainment Built for Silicon Valley Rooms
Santiago is a magician and mentalist based just over the hill in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Silicon Valley is part of his regular territory. He performs for company holiday parties, client appreciation dinners, sales kickoffs, team offsites and milestone celebrations from San Jose and Santa Clara to Palo Alto, Cupertino and Fremont.
His work is mentalism: mind reading and psychological illusion, blended with close-up magic that happens in the guests' own hands. It plays especially well to a room full of sharp, analytical people. Nobody is asked to suspend disbelief. They are invited to work out what just happened, and they talk about it for the rest of the evening.
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 moves through the room and performs for small groups, which gets colleagues who rarely talk to each other sharing the same moment.
Tableside at Dinner
For seated company dinners and client events. Santiago visits each table between courses, so every guest gets a close, personal performance without interrupting the meal.
Featured Set
A 20 to 30 minute performance the whole room watches together. Suited to an after-dinner program, an awards night or the moment the evening needs a centerpiece.
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.

“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.”
