A London mentalist with a difference
Magic has been a big part of Ian Rowland’s life since he was about seven. Today he is a widely respected name in mentalism, the type of magic that looks like mindreading.
What makes Ian different from other London magicians is everything else he brings: decades as a corporate speaker and trainer, the definitive book on cold reading, and TV appearances demonstrating how ‘psychic’ powers can be convincingly simulated. The result is magic that is clever, warm, funny and in perfect taste for business audiences.

The mentalist broadcasters call
Ian’s ability to simulate psychic and paranormal phenomena, while openly admitting it is only simulation, has made him a go-to expert for television. He has been hired for documentaries and shows by the BBC, NBC, ABC and Sky, and featured on ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Paramount Television and Australia’s Channel 9.
On ABC’s Primetime, Ian gave convincing ‘psychic’ readings to volunteers and then revealed exactly how it was done. He was also hired as a consultant on the European series of Uri Geller’s TV show The Successor.
“Even today my team is still talking about it”
“At the conclusion of his comprehensive seminar, he entertained our entire team and families with a mindreading show at an evening social. Not only was it great fun, but even today my team is still talking about it. I'd highly recommend Ian to anyone who's interested in these subjects and wants a first-class speaker and trainer.”
