Meet Kevin Stone of Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kevin Stone.

Hi Kevin, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of the human mind and the connection between psychology, influence, and entertainment. What began as a curiosity eventually became a lifelong passion and career. More than 30 years ago, I began studying hypnosis, mentalism, magic, psychology, and human behavior, dedicating myself to understanding not only how people think, but how extraordinary experiences can inspire, amaze, and entertain.

Over the years, that passion evolved into a career spanning more than three decades. I’ve had the privilege of performing for audiences around the world, including corporate clients, private organizations, celebrities, executives, public figures, and audiences of all sizes. Along the way, I expanded my expertise beyond hypnosis into mind reading, mentalism, and interactive entertainment, developing a unique performance style that combines psychology, audience participation, mystery, and human connection.

Today, I am known professionally as the Amazing Mind Reader and am recognized as one of the most experienced performers working in the fields of hypnosis, mentalism, and mind reading. Throughout my career, my goal has never simply been to fool people. Instead, I strive to create moments that challenge assumptions, spark curiosity, and leave audiences wondering what might be possible. The most rewarding part of what I do is seeing people experience genuine amazement while creating memories they will talk about for years.

Beyond performing, I have remained committed to studying, promoting, and helping preserve the arts of hypnosis, mentalism, and mind reading. The field continues to evolve, and I believe there is always more to learn, teach, and contribute. That commitment to growth and excellence has allowed me to remain active and relevant in an industry that is constantly changing.

After more than three decades in the profession, I remain just as passionate about the art as when I first began. Every performance is an opportunity to connect with people, bring them together through laughter and wonder, and share the fascination with the human mind that first inspired me to start this journey.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it definitely has not been a smooth road, but I believe that’s true for anyone who dedicates their life to pursuing excellence in a specialized field.

Like most entrepreneurs and performers, I started with no guarantees. Building a career in hypnosis, mentalism, and mind reading required years of study, practice, persistence, and a willingness to perform whenever opportunities presented themselves. In the early days, I had to earn credibility, prove my abilities, and establish trust in industries where reputation is everything and success is never handed to you.

One of the greatest challenges has been distinguishing myself in highly competitive fields while continuously raising my own standards. Hypnosis, mentalism, and mind reading are professions where audiences expect something extraordinary, which means there is a constant responsibility to innovate, improve, and deliver an exceptional experience every time you step in front of an audience.

Another challenge has been overcoming misconceptions. Many people have preconceived ideas about hypnosis and mind reading, so part of my career has involved educating audiences while entertaining them. Helping people better understand these arts while creating experiences that genuinely amaze them has become one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.

Over the last three decades, I’ve also had to adapt to significant changes in technology, marketing, media, and audience expectations. What worked years ago does not necessarily work today, and long-term success requires a willingness to evolve while remaining authentic to your craft. I’ve always viewed change as an opportunity to learn, grow, and discover new ways to connect with people.

Of course, there have been setbacks, disappointments, and moments when things did not go as planned. However, I’ve learned that challenges often provide the greatest opportunities for growth. Many of the obstacles I faced ultimately pushed me to become a better performer, a stronger businessman, and a more effective communicator.

Looking back after more than 30 years in the industry, I can honestly say that every challenge taught me something valuable. The road was not always easy, but the lessons gained from perseverance, adaptability, and continuous improvement have made the journey far more rewarding and meaningful.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a professional entertainer, hypnotist, mentalist, mind reader, and creator with more than three decades of experience studying and performing the arts of hypnosis, psychology, influence, and interactive entertainment. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to creating experiences that blend mystery, humor, audience participation, and the extraordinary possibilities of the human mind.

What makes my work unique is the combination of disciplines I bring together. While many performers focus on a single specialty, my career has allowed me to develop expertise in hypnosis, mentalism, mind reading, magic, human behavior, and audience dynamics. Bringing these elements together has enabled me to create a distinctive performance style that is both highly interactive and deeply engaging.

No two performances are ever exactly alike. Whether I’m working with corporate audiences, private clients, celebrities, schools, or public events, every presentation is tailored to the people in the room. My goal is not simply to entertain, but to create memorable experiences that leave audiences amazed, inspired, and talking about what they witnessed long after the event has ended.

What I am most proud of is building a career that has remained successful, relevant, and continually evolving for more than 30 years. The entertainment industry is constantly changing, and very few performers have the opportunity to sustain a long-term career while continuing to grow and innovate. I believe that longevity reflects a commitment to continuous learning, professional excellence, and always striving to give audiences something exceptional.

Beyond performing, I am passionate about advancing, preserving, and promoting the arts of hypnosis, mentalism, and mind reading. Throughout my career, I have remained a student of these disciplines while also contributing to their growth through education, performance, and public awareness. Even after three decades in the industry, I continue to study, develop new ideas, and explore creative ways to expand what is possible.

At its core, my work is about creating connection. The greatest reward is seeing people laugh, wonder, and experience something they never thought possible. Knowing that an audience leaves with a sense of curiosity, amazement, and lasting memories is what continues to inspire me every day.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that long-term success comes from consistency, not shortcuts.

When I first started, like many people, I believed success was about discovering the perfect technique, the perfect opportunity, or the perfect strategy. Over time, I learned that lasting success is built through continuous learning, improvement, persistence, and showing up every day committed to your craft. The people who achieve extraordinary things are often not the most talented. They are the ones who remain committed when challenges, setbacks, and obstacles would cause others to quit.

I’ve also learned the importance of authenticity. Audiences are incredibly perceptive. Whether I’m performing hypnosis, mind reading, or mentalism, people connect most with someone who is genuine, passionate, and fully invested in what they do. Trust is the foundation of every meaningful interaction, and authenticity is what creates that trust.

Another lesson is that success is not measured solely by personal achievements, recognition, or professional milestones. True success is measured by the impact you have on others. Some of the most rewarding moments in my career have come from hearing how an experience inspired someone, changed their perspective, sparked their curiosity, or created a meaningful memory that stayed with them long after the event ended.

I’ve also come to appreciate the value of lifelong learning. Even after more than 30 years in the fields of hypnosis, mentalism, and entertainment, I still consider myself a student. There is always more to learn, new ideas to explore, and better ways to serve audiences. Maintaining that curiosity has allowed me to continue growing while remaining passionate about what I do.

Looking back, I’ve learned that careers are not built in a single year or through a single breakthrough moment. They are built one performance, one client, one relationship, and one opportunity at a time. If you stay focused on providing value, continuously improving your skills, treating people well, and maintaining a commitment to excellence, success tends to follow naturally.

That philosophy has guided me throughout my career and continues to inspire me today.
