Corporate Event Entertainer at Boston Scientific Executive Retreat
About the Event
When Boston Scientific celebrated its 40th anniversary in New York, they invited me to be their corporate event entertainer to make the night truly unforgettable. This Fortune 100 company hosted an exclusive executive retreat with just 50 guests in a private Manhattan restaurant. The event’s theme, “Future Ready,” inspired me to create a customized entertainment experience that aligned perfectly with the client’s vision.
My Role at the Event as a Corporate Event Entertainer
For this intimate and high-profile gathering, I provided reception-style entertainment during the cocktail hour, engaging guests one-on-one with close-up magic and mind-reading. Later, I performed a custom after-dinner show designed to captivate the entire group. Small audiences like this create a unique, close-knit atmosphere — perfect for personalized interaction.
To reflect the “Future Ready” theme, I designed a special interactive routine featuring custom decks of cards made especially for the event. Near the finale, every guest participated in a magical moment where, against all odds, everyone revealed the exact same card. This powerful shared experience symbolized unity and forward-thinking, leaving a lasting impression.
Each guest was also gifted a custom deck of cards as a souvenir to remember the evening by — a thoughtful touch that connected the magic to the company’s core values.
