Brad Montgomery Biography

For business speaker Brad Montgomery, a funny thing happened on the way to law school. After graduating from Brown, his college “side hustle” of professional drumming, street magic and comedy clubs led him to performing on cruise ships and even the prestigious Hollywood Magic Castle. Brad turned his love for the stage into his life work of becoming a successful keynote speaker who helps people feel valued, appreciated, respected and recognized. He never made it to Law School!

Brad is an entrepreneur, author, and podcaster. As a business keynote speaker, his expertise is increasing performance by focusing on the people side of business. He speaks about the Undeniable, Jaw-Dropping Power of Encouragement (And How It Might Be the Business Strategy You Can’t Afford to Ignore.). Brad is a member of the National Speakers Association Speakers Hall of Fame, an elite group of 150 inductees worldwide.

His diverse client list ranges from Fortune 500 companies to smaller leadership groups in rural health care and groups of educators across the USA. He even spoke to the IRS where he withheld 30% of his best ideas.

His background in entertainment is still very present in all his business presentations. Whether he’s telling funny stories, sharing his innate and impromptu wit, or blowing audiences minds as a mentalist – he’s definitely not your standard “talking head” speaker. He’s fresh. He’s funny. He’s unique.

He has three awesome kids and an amazing wife of over 30 years. Brad’s a life-long drummer and loves playing jazz and funk and then heading out for roller hockey. And in an emergency, Brad can ride a unicycle while juggling.

Brad Montgomery Speaking Topics

  • The Undeniable Jaw-Dropping Power of Encouragement (The Business Strategy You Cannot Afford to Ignore)

    Brad talks about how to strategically improve and implement the Power of Encouragement in the workplace to increase job satisfaction, performance and purpose. Audiences leave the program feeling valued, significant and knowing that their management cares about them.

    Harvard calls this topic "... The KEY to every educational and business outcome."

    This science-backed keynote helps your people to remember that nobody wants to be customer #459 or employee #459. We want to be seen and heard. We want to be significant. And when we take steps in every human interaction to improve others with encouragement, every business metric improves. (Yes. Every. Business. Metric.)

    Here’s the Key: No matter what business you are in, you’re in the people business. Focus on the people and watch your performance — and your career! — improve.

    There's a bonus: Brad's authentic humor, together with a ton of audience engagement, will make the time fly. Trust us...they'll want more.

  • Freshly Brewed Comedy Mentalism & Mind Reading

    HIGH-END ENTERTAINMENT WITH A MENTALIST TWIST

    Brad Montgomery is best known as a keynote speaker, crisscrossing the globe and earning a spot in the Speaker Hall of Fame. But here’s the twist most people don’t know: Brad started as a magician. Over years of mastering his craft, he’s transformed into a world-class mentalist.

    With his razor-sharp wit and mind-bending skills, Brad reads your audience’s thoughts, cracks them up, and leaves them utterly amazed. He creates an entertainment experience like no other—custom-made for high-end events. Funny Mentalist Brad Montgomery knows things about your group he absolutely should not know.

    THE ART AND SCIENCE OF BLOWING MINDS

    Brad has spent a lifetime blending his skills as a magician with psychology, the power of suggestion, and even reading body and facial cues (hello, poker pros!). The result? An experience that’s equal parts mesmerizing and hilarious.

    Audiences don’t just watch the show—they feel it. It’s a shared sense of wonder, a throwback to that magical feeling we had as kids when we didn’t have all the answers. And that’s what makes people say, “Wait—how did Brad do that?”

    In a world saturated with technology, Brad’s mentalism feels refreshingly real. No AI. No CGI. Just Brad, his humor, and your secrets.

    THIS ISN’T JUST ENTERTAINMENT—IT’S A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

    Seeing a show is one thing. Being part of an experience that will never be repeated? That’s entirely different. Brad’s performances are unique, unscripted, and tailored in real-time to the audience. Because so much of the magic comes directly from the people in the room, every performance is unforgettable—a shared, unrepeatable moment that bonds everyone in the audience.

    A FUNNY MENTALIST? YOU BET.

    Brad Montgomery is more than just a mentalist; he’s a comedian mentalist. His journey began as a street magician, then moved through Renaissance fairs, comedy clubs, cruise ships, and now, the corporate stage.

    Those years of perfecting his comedic timing mean his show isn’t just amazing—it’s laugh-out-loud funny. Brad understands that laughter isn’t just fun; it’s essential. It connects us, lifts us up, and reminds us we’re human.

    That’s why his blend of mind-reading and comedy has earned standing ovations from the Magic Castle to corporate events large and small in all 50 states.

    Ready to experience something extraordinary? Brad’s mentalism show is a high-energy, unforgettable adventure. Don’t just book entertainment—create an experience your audience will talk about for years to come.
