Thom Berger & MindGames

Thom Berger is The Perceptionist

Unlock Minds, Ignite Decisions

Prepare to be astounded. For over 30 years, Tom Berger has mesmerized corporate audiences worldwide with his razor-sharp reads of human behavior. From intimate boardrooms to 900-strong conferences, he blends mind-bending entertainment with neuroscience-backed insights—revealing thoughts, predicting actions, and cracking the code of persuasion. Born in Tasmania and shaped by multicultural roots (German first, then English and Afrikaans), Tom's "speed reading" of non-verbal cues has headlined every Australian capital, plus Las Vegas, Hawaii, Vietnam, Fiji, and New Zealand. Even the FBI tapped him for deception-detection expertise after his Elastic Truth blog research.

MindGames: Evening Astonishment That Steals the Show

Your Thoughts Are Written All Over Your Face

Craving corporate entertainment that packs a punch? MindGames is your X-Factor—a high-octane, one-man spectacle fusing psychology, humor, and jaw-dropping perception. Tom turns your guests into co-stars, speed-reading secrets, priming minds for impossible predictions, and exposing lies in The Lying Game (where volunteers hilariously fail to fool his FBI-honed radar).

Why it wows:

  • Total immersion: 100% audience interactive—no scripts, just real-time thrills.
  • Scales anywhere: Thrives for 9 or 900 with just a mic, table, and flipchart.
  • Unforgettable buzz: Sparks icebreakers, bonds teams, and lingers for weeks.

"We book a lot of shows, but that is by far the best entertainment we have ever had. By far!"
– Phil Jones, Bendigo Bank

"Tom's act... had the audience mesmerised. Initial thoughts that his perceptions were pre-planned set-ups quickly gave way to genuine astonishment... Entertaining, Engrossing and Enlightening. Five Stars!"
– Andrew Ellis, Suzuki Australia

"An astounding and brilliant performance... something they will never forget."
– Healthscope

  • Trigger "yes" with subliminal influence and trust-building cues.
  • Project confidence that closes deals—backed by neuroscience and live demos.
