About Phoenix

A CAREER SPENT EXPLORING WHAT MAKES PEOPLE TICK.

Phoenix creates live experiences at the intersection of theatre, psychology and human behaviour.

He has escaped from a locked water tank on live television, consulted on a Hollywood blockbuster, opened for global music artists and performed over a thousand shows at sea, without losing sight of the one thing that makes every event work: the people in the room.

Credentials

ASKED, NOT ADVERTISED.

None of this was applied for. Each one arrived as an approach rather than a pitch, each one was done, and each has a name attached that can be checked without taking anyone’s word for it.

Consulted for Hollywood Official consultant and trainer on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, working with Taylor Kitsch on the card handling for Gambit.
Consulted for a university UNSW Future Minds Lab, on psychology and intuition, contracted by Professor Joel Pearson.
Spoke at SXSW Sydney 2025 “Neural Sorcery”, with Professor Joel Pearson of the UNSW Future Minds Lab.
Judged the Sydney Fringe Festival Four of the last five years, missing only a year spent performing overseas. The panel judges the whole festival, theatre, comedy, dance and acting, not just magic, which means being asked to assess performance itself rather than one trade.
Judged the Melbourne Magic Festival Melbourne Magic Festival 2015, on the panel alongside Cosentino. Both judged categories they were not entered in. It is the festival that gave him two awards.
Opened for Rob Thomas At ICC Sydney, on the tour.

Good questions

THE DETAIL, MADE CLEAR.

Gala dinners, conferences, awards nights, corporate events, cruise theatres and private functions, anywhere the room matters. Formats range from close-up roving mentalism to a full headline mind-reading and comedy hypnosis show, plus keynote sessions on intuition, decision-making and human behaviour.

Yes. Mentalism is the art of influence, mind reading and impossible predictions built on psychology and misdirection. Comedy hypnosis is an unscripted live experience with willing volunteers. Phoenix performs both, and often blends them to suit the audience and the occasion.

Always. Participation is voluntary, the humour never comes at the audience’s expense, and volunteers leave feeling like the stars of the moment. Duty of care to your guests and your brand is built into every show.

Worldwide, from a base in Australia, with more than a thousand shows at sea and international corporate engagements. Domestic and international travel and logistics are handled as part of the booking.
