Keith Barry's Biography

Keith Barry is a world-leading hypnotist, mentalist and brain hacker.  He has been blazing a trail across the globe for many years.

His mind-blowing skills have been showcased in over forty international television shows, including You’re Back in the Room. The first hypnotism format on TV in the UK for several years, this show garnered huge audiences and proved to be a big prime-time hit for ITV. Due to the insurmountable success of the show Keith then went on to feature in the Australian and US versions. Both the Australian version (Channel 9) and the US version rebranded Hypnotize Me (CW network) were very well received. Keith’s RTE TV series The Keith Barry Experience aired in the last quarter of 2019, returning to screens for a second season in April 2022.

As well as his own hugely successful US TV series, Deception with Keith Barry, Keith has appeared many times on some of the most prestigious US shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show and The Conan O’Brien Show. He has also brain-hacked many celebrities including Bono, Nicole Scherzinger, Morgan Freeman and many more.

One of Keith’s movie projects saw him working as chief mentalist and hypnotist consultant for two blockbuster films in the Now You See Me Franchise. Shot in New Orleans and Paris, it starred Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Caine and grossed over $360m at the box office.

He is the author of three popular books, including “Mind Magic” (2023), a children’s book designed to help children build their confidence and resilience, as well as “Brain Hacks” (2021), which explores a variety of techniques to cultivate a ‘magical mindset’ and develop mental toughness. His Ted Talk has over 18 million views, and he is the recipient of multiple awards, including a Merlin Award, the Best Magician in Las Vegas and a James Joyce Award.

Keith is available as a captivating and motivational keynote speaker, covering a variety of topics including the art of non-verbal influence, unleashing leadership, redefining the impossible and motivational mentalism. His mind-blowing demonstrations leave audiences spellbound, and feeling empowered to shatter barriers and embrace their true potential.

He always tailors his one-of-a-kind sessions to clients’ individual needs and objectives and is available to book as a keynote speaker, an entertainer (in both live and virtual formats), and an emcee. He also delivers C-Suite seminars, day-long workshops and other bespoke offerings.
