Orlando’s Best Entertainment and Emcee for
Conventions, Meetings, Conferences, and Celebrations.

Orlando is the land of theme parks and magical experiences, but it’s also home to amazing conferences, meetings, and incentive travel retreats. Master mentalist Michael Gutenplan is the entertainer that matches the thrill of Orlando and creates unforgettable experiences at Orlando’s top events and celebrations. From conference halls in the Orange County Convention Center to the ballrooms at Disney’s amazing conference hotels, Michael delivers the kind of entertainment that makes a destination event feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Headline
Mentalism Show

A company that flies its top performers to Orlando for an incentive trip or national conference can’t settle for ordinary entertainment; they need someone that matches the energy of the room and knows how to celebrate the work it took to get there. They need… the best. Named “Best Entertainment” by Boardroom Magazine, Master Mentalist Michael Gutenplan’s mind reading show combines mind reading, intuition, ESP, psychic demonstrations, influence, and comedy into a performance built for exactly that kind of night. As the closing entertainment at an association conference dinner, the highlight of an incentive trip’s final evening, as the show after a sales meeting awards banquet, or the after-dinner show at a milestone celebration, Michael engages, excites, and creates an unforgettable experience – turning a room of people having the night of a lifetime into enthusiastic participants!

Perfect for: Large scale events that require headline entertainment including corporate incentive trips, resort galas, milestone celebrations, family reunions, sales team awards dinners, conference keynotes, and any event where the entertainment needs to match a destination-level experience.

Strolling Entertainment
Magic & Mentalism

Orlando’s conference and event culture has a slightly relaxed feel – after all it is the theme park capital of the world, and sometimes a stage show doesn’t match the needs of the event. Events like a welcome cocktail hour by the pool, a hospitality suite in the Four Seasons, at a board meeting in a private dining room in Downtown Disney, or at a family reunion at Universal where three generations are catching up at once – these are the events where Michael’s strolling magic and mentalism fits best.

With strolling entertainment, Michael moves through the crowd and creates up-close, impossible moments that get attendees and relatives alike talking about what they just experienced – that’s what it’s all about.

Perfect for: Trade show booths, kick-off dinners, sponsor receptions, resort receptions, poolside happy hours, wedding cocktail hours, family reunions, corporate mixers, and any event where guests are mingling.

Event Emcee &
Charity Auctioneer

Your convention, meeting, or conference might be in the most magical place in the world, but without a great emcee, the whole thing feels flat. Michael takes your event to new heights with professional leadership, direction, and hosting. Your attendees are in great hands with Michael as their host.

If your event has an auction you may want to consider having Michael as the auctioneer. Michael makes raising money fun – with laughter, amazement, and bids that seem to keep getting higher and higher.

Perfect for: Association meetings, multi-day conferences, charity galas, school fundraisers, and any event that has multiple sessions that need a strong, fun, and amazing host.
