Small rooms, important guests and no space for a generic act. Johnny Wu comes to Aspen for executive retreats, incentive trips, private dinners and conference week events, with mind reading and close up magic that is quiet and polished enough for a room full of CEOs. Johnny performed three hours of roaming close up magic at the Caribou Club in September 2026.

Aspen corporate events are rarely huge. They are the leadership retreat at a lodge, the client dinner at a private club, the incentive trip for top performers, the board dinner during a festival week. The guests are used to the best of everything, so the entertainment has to be personal, polished and brief. Mentalism is built for exactly this: no stage, no production, one impossible moment at a time.
No stage and no production. Johnny sits with your leadership team in a private room at a hotel, lodge or private home and reads minds at close range: a thought, a number, a name no one said out loud. Thirty to sixty minutes, for groups under a hundred.
It is the same show described on the corporate magician page, shrunk to fit a fireplace.
Close to the guestsIncentive travel is about the stories people take home. A walk around close up set at the welcome reception or the après ski gathering turns a room of top performers into a room that laughs together. It roams lodges, terraces and private rooms, needs no setup, and works in ski boots or in black tie.
Weather can change a mountain trip fast, so we plan the arrival around it. More on that below.
Close up at the tableAspen fills with conferences and festivals, from Ideas week in June to company summits through the year. The guests spend the day on big ideas, so at dinner they want to be delighted, not lectured. Johnny gave a TEDx talk and knows how to move a room that thinks for a living, with a mind reading set that ties back to your theme.

Aspen programs lean intimate. Most clients choose one or two formats and keep the evening unhurried.
Lodge receptions, terrace mixers and welcome dinners, table to table and group to group.
A short mind reading show with your theme built in, no heavy production.
Voluntary, funny and respectful, for private dinners and after parties.
Sponsor spaces at conferences and festivals, in short rotations that hand off to your team.
When snow closes roads or the airport, remote guests can still join a live show on Zoom.
Common settings for corporate programs in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. We coordinate timing and the space directly with the venue.
Slopeside lodges and receptions for incentive trips in ski season.
Ballrooms and private rooms for retreats and client dinners.
Campus settings for conference week programming.
Where much of Aspen's entertaining happens.
Johnny is based in Los Angeles and flies to Aspen for your event. Travel is quoted separately, so the show is never padded to cover a flight. We also travel to Las Vegas · San Francisco · San Diego.
Aspen's airport is small and mountain weather can close it, so we plan to land the day before, never the morning of your event.
Flights, lodging and ground transport are quoted separately and spelled out, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Ski season, summer festival season or a one night dinner: the dates and the venue are enough to start.
Real reviews from corporate clients, their words, unedited.
“Was lucky enough to attend a work event where Johnny Wu was the main act for the night. What an amazing performance he put on! Phenomenal stage presence, captivating tricks, and the ability to immerse everyone. I highly recommend for any personal event.”
“We just had our holiday party today and Johnny had an outstanding performance. Very fun personality and left our team with a WOW! He challenged some of our "know it all attorneys" and they just couldn't believe it!! We will for sure be seeing Johnny in the future. :)”
“Johnny performed for a company party a while back, but I remember him as the highlight of the evening. Not that the board's speeches and lukewarm food were stiff competition, haha but he really was a great showman. Highly recommended!”
Yes. Johnny flies in from Los Angeles for events in Aspen, Snowmass and the Roaring Fork Valley. Travel is quoted as its own line, separate from the show.
Yes. In September 2026 Johnny performed three hours of roaming close up magic at the Caribou Club in Aspen.
That is where we are strongest. For groups under a hundred, Johnny's VIP parlour show needs no stage, no production and no setup, and can run in a lodge, a hotel suite or a private home.
We plan around it. Aspen's airport is small and weather can close it, so we arrive the day before your event. The show should never depend on a flight landing on time.
We work the dinners, receptions and closing events around conference weeks. Johnny gave a TEDx talk and builds the finale around your theme, so it fits an audience that spends the day on big ideas.
A corporate magician uses sleight of hand and illusions. A corporate mentalist uses psychology, mind reading and prediction, which feels more personal and suits a small room. Many Aspen programs combine both in one evening.
