Mentalist John Pullum has entertained corporate audiences around the world for more than thirty years. If his face looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen him on TV.
John hosted the Discovery Channel’s “More Than Human” and “Cheating Death” served as game show host for “Thrill Rides: Put to the Test” and appeared as the hypnosis and mind-reading expert on “Unsolved History” and “More Science of Magic“.

Every one of John’s presentations is 100% clean and built around genuine audience participation. He’s easy to work with, low-maintenance for planners, and knows how to make an event run smoothly from the moment he walks in. Ask any planner who’s booked him twice why they came back.
John’s client list includes 3M, Ford Motor Company, Reebok, Prudential Financial, University of Notre Dame, Morgan Stanley, Hitachi, Nestle, Shell Oil Company, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Toyota, Nissan, and dozens more across nearly every industry imaginable.
From intimate gatherings of five people to arenas holding thousands, John has a presentation built to fit the room.
Where It Started
Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, John started performing at local events while still in his teens. His uncanny mentalist abilities and sharp comedic timing quickly made him a favorite at corporate events and private parties across the country.
In 2003, the Discovery Channel put that reputation to the ultimate test. During the finale of

“More Than Human,” producers pitted John against top body language experts and cutting-edge thought-reading technology, in one of the most elaborate lie-detection experiments ever built for television. Man versus machine. John held his own.
What Happens at a Show
John continues to astonish audiences around the world, and there’s no state-of-the-art equipment required—just John. During his show, you’ll wonder: will he read your mind? The CEO’s? Your spouse’s? Nothing revealed is ever too personal or embarrassing—every moment is designed to make people feel like they were genuinely part of something, not put on the spot.
That’s the difference between a magician, a comedian, and a mentalist. You’ve seen plenty of the first two. A mentalist is something else entirely.
