— The Standard

We brought Keith in to perform at our user group event and he absolutely delivered. From the first interaction he had our guests leaning in, gasping, and talking about it for the rest of the night.

-Navina AI

This is the second event we have had Keith Kong perform for, with two completely different types of events and audiences, and not only was everyone entertained and amazed, but our guests still talk about how awesome it was and like nothing they had ever attended. The football team said it was the best Booster event they had ever been to. We will definitely hire Keith again for future events.

Because Keith is based in Orlando, events in Jacksonville often carry minimal travel fees, which can meaningfully reduce total cost compared to booking a touring performer.

  • Mentalism stands out on the short list of genuinely unique corporate options because nothing is pre-scripted around a passive crowd.

Available as a stage show, reception strolling, or keynote.
