Thomas de Bernède travels worldwide. From Mediterranean islands to Alpine chalets, from Caribbean beaches to Middle Eastern palaces — wherever your event is, Thomas brings world-class magic to your guests.
Hiring Thomas was the single best decision we made for our wedding entertainment. Our guests — from 18 countries — are still talking about the moments he created. Hire a magician who truly understands luxury events.
As a planner, when my couples ask me to recommend entertainment, Thomas is the first name I give. Reliable, punctual, and his magic is genuinely world-class. If you want to hire a magician who makes planners look good, this is him.
Thomas performed at three of our executive events across Europe. Each time, he read the room perfectly — adapting his performance to suit a room of CEOs at one event, then a creative team at another. Extraordinary versatility.
We wanted to hire a magician who wouldn't feel like a children's entertainer — someone elegant, sophisticated, who could hold his own at a venue like Scorpios. Thomas exceeded every expectation. Pure class.
When you hire a magician for a Lake Como wedding, the bar is impossibly high. Thomas didn't just meet it — he redefined it. The magic felt like it belonged in that historic villa, like it had always been there.
I hired Thomas for an intimate dinner party of 12 guests. What amazed me most was how he adapted his magic to the setting — no stage, no props visible, just moments of pure wonder that unfolded inches from our eyes. Unforgettable.
International Magician & Mentalist

Thomas de Bernède is an internationally acclaimed magician and mentalist who has dedicated his career to the art of sophisticated close-up magic. With over a decade of experience performing at the highest level — from royal weddings in the Middle East to corporate galas for Fortune 500 companies, from private dinners in Geneva to destination weddings across the Mediterranean — Thomas has refined his craft into something genuinely rare: magic that feels personal, elegant, and utterly astonishing.
Unlike many performers who rely on large props or stage illusions, Thomas specialises in sleight-of-hand and mentalism that unfolds in the most intimate settings — inches from your guests, often involving objects borrowed from their own hands. A borrowed ring vanishes and reappears sealed inside a walnut. A freely chosen card materialises under a guest's phone. A thought — never spoken aloud — is revealed with uncanny precision. These are not tricks; they are experiences that create gasps, laughter, and the kind of shared astonishment that binds a room together.
Thomas performs fluently in English, French, and Spanish, with working proficiency in Italian. He has been featured in luxury wedding publications, trusted by the world's most discerning wedding planners, and has travelled to over 50 destinations to bring his unique brand of magic to couples, executives, and hosts who demand the very best.
