Fred Berthelot

Fred Berthelot is a performer who has bridged two careers, first as an architect and now as a corporate mentalist known as the Architect of The Mind. Berthelot earned a Master of Architecture degree from Savannah College of Art & Design, graduating summa cum laude, and received the Excellence in Architecture Award and the American Institute of Architects Henry Adams Medal. He worked at Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York City, designing projects for Fortune 500 companies, universities, and a former U.S. president. His architectural work includes contributions to institutions such as University of Georgia, Penn State, University of Pennsylvania, and Villanova, as well as business schools, law schools, medical centers, research facilities, and business districts like the Philadelphia Navy Yard and structures such as Carpe Diem Tower near Paris.

Berthelot transitioned from architecture to focus on mentalism, combining his design background, creative thinking, and knowledge of mentalism to deliver corporate entertainment and training. As a mentalist, magician, speaker, and consultant, he works with Fortune 500 companies, providing interactive experiences that integrate thought reading and drawing skills, creating a collaborative atmosphere for team building and corporate events.

His interactive mentalism show, "Architect of The Mind," features demonstrations of mind control, thought reading, and illusions involving space and time, culminating in a team-building finale that highlights teamwork and company branding. Companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, and Publicis Groupe have engaged Berthelot for corporate events. His teamwork finale received First Place as Best Mentalist at the Mindvention awards, judged by industry professionals including Banachek, Keith Barry, and Richard Osterlind.

In addition to performing, Berthelot teaches memory workshops focused on enhancing recall, sharpening thinking, and applying memory techniques in professional and educational settings. These programs are designed for professionals seeking to improve client relationships and for educators aiming to help students retain information, with versions available for schools and libraries. A native French speaker, Berthelot offers performances and workshops in both English and French for national and international audiences.
