Fred Berthelot      

Corporate Mentalist, Know as "The Architect of The Mind"

Born in France and raised in NYC, Fred Berthelot earned a Master of Architecture degree, Summa Cum Laude, from the Savannah College of Art & Design, along with the Excellence in Architecture Award and the American Institute of Architects Henry Adams Medal for the top-ranking architecture student.

Berthelot joined a prestigious New York City architecture firm that catered to high-end clients, celebrities, and even a President of the United States. Over the course of 25 years, he designed a plethora of buildings including business and law schools, corporate headquarters, and a striking skyscraper dubbed the "Carpe Diem Tower" on the outskirts of Paris in his native France.

But Berthelot’s lifelong passion was always entertaining people with mystery and mental magic. There is no degree for such a skill, but after a successful career as an architect, he decided to "seize the day" and pursue his dream of amazing audiences with the power of the human mind. His experience working in a corporate and creative landscape gives him a unique perspective. He’s not just a professional corporate entertainer — he’s a corporate professional who entertains.

As The Architect of The Mind, Fred no longer draws buildings for his clients from his own thoughts — He draws thoughts from his clients! He not only extracts what is in his audience’s minds, he uses his drawing skills as an architect to literally sketch those thoughts out. His affable and charismatic nature generates a relaxed and open atmosphere that builds bonds, energizes teams, and creates unforgettable spontaneous moments. Corporate event planners love his professionalism, precision, his ability to speak to the group as "one of them", and his drive to "over-deliver". He is also recognized by his peers in the industry. His grand finale — a mind-blowing celebration of brand and teamwork — won First Place at the 2023 Mindvention mentalism convention, judged by renown mentalists Banachek and Keith Barry.

The Architect of The Mind is more than an entertainment experience — it’s a blueprint for a truly memorable event.
