WHO IS BRO GILBERT?
Some entertainers fill time. Bro Gilbert changes it.
Bro Gilbert is a Vancouver, BC-based corporate magician, mentalist, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of live performance experience and thousands of shows across North America. He has performed for Fortune 500 companies, national brands, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and professional associations - turning ordinary corporate events into moments guests talk about for years.
His work is rooted in something deeper than tricks. Bro specializes in the psychology of surprise - using magic and mentalism to break down barriers between people, spark genuine conversation, and create the kind of shared experience that no icebreaker exercise or team-building workshop can replicate. Clients like the Royal Bank of Canada, Fountain Tire, and Demonware book him not just as entertainment, but as the spark their events needed.
TV, stage, and international credentials
Bro has consulted and performed alongside some of the world's most recognized magicians, including work on productions featuring Dynamo, Criss Angel (Mind Freak on A & E), Penn & Teller's Fool Us, and America's Got Talent. His behind-the-scenes expertise as a magic consultant gives him a level of technical mastery that translates into performances that look genuinely impossible - because he helped create some of the impossible things you've already seen on television. Bro is also an accomplished author.
More than a show
Beyond performing as a corporate mentalist at events across Vancouver and BC, Bro is the founder of The Astonishment Academy - a leadership and training company that applies the principles of magic, engagement science, and human psychology to organizational culture, educator development, and executive leadership. He is also a proud member of the team at Aitken Leadership Group.
Whether you're planning a cocktail reception for 80 guests or a conference stage show for 1,000, Bro designs every experience around your event, your people, and the result you want to create.
