Finnish honesty, global mystery.
They say Finns are the most honest people in the world. I’m the exception that proves the rule—I’m an honest liar. I’m based in Finland, but I travel globally to break the silence and spark wonder at high-end corporate events. Distance is just a thought.

Let’s schedule a brief Zoom discovery call. Jose can walk you through the performance and explain exactly how a world-class mentalist can turn your upcoming event into a resounding success.
MIND GAMES! – Beyond Traditional Entertainment
Mentalist Jose Ahonen’s MIND GAMES! is not just a show; it’s a psychological catalyst. It’s an experience where your audience laughs, gasps in amazement, and experiences genuine moments of wonder. Every performance is a sophisticated blend of psychology, humor, and—most importantly—active audience participation.
Jose is a master of the human mind, engaging audiences through suggestion, non-verbal communication, and psychological illusion. This isn’t about "magic tricks"—it’s about creating a shared experience that breaks the ice, sparks conversation, and leaves a lasting impression.
Mingling Mentalism: The Ultimate Icebreaker
Not every event requires a grand stage. Sometimes the most profound impact happens just inches away from your guests' eyes.
Often, the most memorable moments occur in small groups—when logic fails and a smile of pure disbelief takes over. Thoughts are read, a watch momentarily vanishes from a wrist, and even the most analytical minds are left debating the mystery of a bending spoon long after the night ends. Jose doesn’t just perform a "set piece"; he integrates seamlessly into your event as an inconspicuous enigma. He is the charismatic guest who seems perfectly normal—until the reality-defying moments begin. This is social magic at its best: it turns strangers into conversationalists and creates a shared buzz that flows through the entire room.
You’ve organized events before. You know the difference between a program that simply fills a slot and one that hits the mark. You’ve also seen events that look perfect on paper, yet the atmosphere fails to spark.
What if, this time, you brought in an experience that guests will be discussing long after the final applause?

Jose Ahonen
– Mentalist and Mystery Entertainer
Over the past 15 years, Jose has performed at a wide array of events across Finland, ranging from intimate private gatherings to large-scale corporate galas. His prestigious client list includes major organizations such as Nokia, Google, Finnair, the Parliament of Finland, Kone, Nordea, Metsä Group, and ABB. Known for his sharp wit and captivating stage presence, Jose’s reputation has also taken him to international stages in the United States, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. He remains a trusted premier performer for Finland’s leading booking agencies.
Jose’s dedication to his craft has earned him significant professional acclaim. In both 2024 and 2025, he was awarded the prestigious Emeritus Reijo Salminen Trophy for his long-term artistry and skill in magic. His accolades also include a bronze medal at the 2025 Nordic Championships of Stage Magic and the Timo Tuomivaara Award in 2019.
He is a member of the elite Psychic Entertainers Association, an organization limited to approximately 250 of the world’s top professional mentalists, hypnotists, and mystery entertainers. Additionally, he is a member of the Finnish Magic Circle and the founder of Club Harha, Finland’s longest-running magic club. Beyond his own performances, Jose is a sought-after consultant, helping fellow performers craft more impactful magic.
Also a talented author, Jose has written three non-fiction books: Yli luonnollisen (Beyond Natural), Ajattele kuin mentalisti (Think Like a Mentalist), and Huijauksen Anatomia (The Anatomy of Deception, co-authored with Pete Poskiparta). His books have seen multiple print runs and have consistently ranked among the most-listened-to titles on audiobook platforms.
Jose’s influence extends into the digital realm as well. In 2014, he created a viral video that garnered tens of millions of views worldwide and was featured in major international media outlets.
From 2023 to 2024, Jose toured Finland with his solo show, Yli luonnollisen. The production visited 26 theaters across 24 cities, attracting audiences who do not typically attend magic or mentalism shows. The tour featured numerous sold-out performances—including dates at Tampere Hall and the 500-seat Pohjankartano Hall in Oulu—and culminated in a series of sold-out shows at the Rakastajat Theatre in
