The Velvet Close-up Table

Close-up Mentalism and Magic in Los Angeles. A small green velvet table, a deck of cards, and a few guests leaning in close. What happens next is real mind-reading, inches away. Sansa's signature experience, and the one guests talk about long after the night ends.

An intimate stage in the middle of your event

Sansa sets up her miniature green velvet table with gold fringe as a station in your room. Guests drift over in twos and threes, lean in close, and become part of the performance: their thoughts revealed, their choices foreseen, the impossible happening in their own hands.

Because guests come to her, Sansa can perform deeper, more personal feats of real Mentalism than strolling allows. Each small group gets its own private show, and the table quickly becomes the place everyone in the room wants to be.

Why guests never forget it

At the Velvet Close-up Table, guests aren't watching a trick from across the room. They are the ones whose minds are read. People leave the table delighted, a little shaken, and wondering what else the mind can do. Clients often tell Sansa it was the highlight of their entire event.

It also brings people together. Strangers become a small audience, coworkers see each other laugh, and the conversation that starts at the table carries on long after they walk away.

How it works

The Velvet Close-up Table is booked for one to five hours and runs as a station during your cocktail hour, reception, or party. Guests visit whenever they like, so it never interrupts dinner, speeches, or dancing.

Every booking is quoted individually, and the written quote spells out what's included: performance time, setup, and travel within the LA area. The fastest way to get one is a free 15-minute consultation.

What the venue needs to provide

A small corner of the room and a sound level where guests can hear normal conversation. Sansa brings the table and everything on it. Just keep it away from the DJ, band, or loudspeakers.

A beautiful fit for corporate receptions, holiday parties, weddings, milestone birthdays, and dinner parties at home.
