Rare and chilling. Superstitious spectators be warned!
Ralph’s performances are intimate, yet exhilarating, lighthearted and profound.
Ralph arrives as a fully prepared one man show.
He requires no special set up. Witty humor and mind reading entertainment.
Ralph has lived and performed from New York City to San Francisco. Today between travels Ralph calls beautiful San Diego home. His work history has been, predictably, unusual - paramedic, massage therapist and martial arts instructor. Ralph received his degrees in science and Paramedicine from BMCC in NY and SRCC in California. His work as a NYC paramedic and martial arts instructor were fundamental to his future in mentalism. The common thread being his compassion for people and his intuitive nature. A decade ago he took the plunge he’d dreamed of: to follow his passion as a full-time professional mentalist. He hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back.
Ralph believes that mentalism consumes all in its path, at least in his personal experience. What started as a childhood exposure to magic evolved, grew and persisted throughout a lifetime of studying and refining the ways of mind readers of all stripes.
Ralph’s true gift is in taking you away from your expected reality to someplace special, intimate and 100% unique to you. Now modern psychological principles gently blend with older more esoteric approaches. The result is beautiful, fun and stunning. In performance Ralph’s goal is simple…allow the assemblage to not only witness but experience what should not be possible. Ralph’s demonstrations are always unscripted, intimate, and stimulating.
An experience...not soon forgotten!
Ralph’s unique performance will be tailored to your event.

Very minimal, I am self contained. Adequate lighting good enough to see written words and, when necessary, a lavalier or handheld microphone.
Number of expected guests and layout of venue.
No.
A clear area of about 3 metres by 3 metres is ideal, but close-up sets need no dedicated space at all.
One the many that comes to mind was for a psychiatry convention with over 200 attendees. My 2 hour engagement turned into 6... That was one interesting room!
My personal favorites are speakeasy themed events and corporate mix and mingles.
Prior to performing full time, I was a New York City/California EMS Paramedic, and martial arts instructor. My lifelong interest and passion has always been mentalism, magic, and hypnosis. After an exceptionally rough shift one night I knew that I needed a change. The next day I woke up inspired. I decided, then and there, to become a full time mentalist. 20 years later I still consider one of the best decisions of my life.
My goal in performing is to take you away from your expected reality. My approach is conversational, fun, and unique to each guest. I blend mind reading, magic, and hypnosis , into a seamless experience.
I usually arrive 30 minutes prior to my start time. My set up/break down time is minimal (approximately 5 minutes), or non existent, depending on the event.
Yes.
Ralph Hamrick’s performances combine astonishing mentalism, quick wit, and playful audience interaction—keeping guests entertained while they try to figure out how he did it.
“AWESTRUCK is how Ralph’s talent leaves you!”
— Grace S., birthday party host
“Among my guests were two doctors, two lawyers and a mathematician who were dumbfounded, confounded and determined to figure how Ralph does it; left without a solution but thoroughly entertained.”
Grace added that her guests were “fascinated” and called it “one of the best parties they’ve ever attended.”
“He is great with the crowd and leaves them wanting more.”
— Joey C., fundraiser organizer
That’s the kind of performance guests keep talking about—and hosts are happy to book again.
Absolutely. Each event is unique and special. I am happy to discuss your specific desires.
