Max Davidson
Bring Max Davidson to your next event for corporate magic and mentalism that wows. Max performs 150+ shows yearly for companies including Google, Apple, and Under Armour, delivering interactive, corporate-friendly experiences that leave teams talking.
Max Davidson is a New York-based magician and mentalist who has turned a childhood fascination with card tricks into a full-time career performing for some of the country's most recognisable companies.
He performs more than 150 shows annually for clients including Google, Apple, Under Armour, and Lindt, and his stage work has taken him to venues from The Magic Castle and Caesars Palace to Disney World and the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Max's shows are entirely interactive. He specialises in mentalism — guessing phone passwords, revealing star signs, and memorising the names of up to 100 audience members at a time — a skill that has become a signature feature of his performances. Every show is designed around the audience, whether that's close-up strolling magic for five executives or a stage show for 500.
Beyond corporate work, Max created and produces Stand-Up Magic, New York's premier comedy and magic show, which has completed two sold-out nationwide tours and been featured in the New York Times and the New York Comedy Festival. He also brings an unexpected angle to his keynote program: as an 11-time marathoner and Ironman finisher, Max draws on endurance sport to explore focus, resilience, and high performance.
For event planners looking for something genuinely memorable, Max delivers polished, fast-paced shows that earn repeat bookings.
Topics, sessions and talks
Max Davidson doesn't just talk about high performance, he demonstrates it. In this interactive program, the mentalist and endurance athlete behind Stand-Up Magic reveals the framework he calls "Crazy Good": a method for cutting through distraction, breaking hesitation, and moving with clarity in high-stakes moments. Drawing on completing multiple Ironmans, performing at Everest base camp, and captivating audiences at Google and Apple, Max shows teams how precision and bold execution — not effort alone — produce real results. Participants leave with a memory technique, a magic trick, and a sharper approach to focus and decision-making.
Max builds his shows around the specific audience in the room, combining interactive mind-reading with quick-witted comedy to create moments that feel genuinely personal for every audience member, whether you have five people in a VIP suite or 500 on a conference stage. Book Max for your next corporate event and give your team an experience they will still be talking about next quarter.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
