Elijah Edwards creates Modern Mental Comedy for Dayton conventions, association meetings, leadership gatherings, university conferences and professional audiences. Mentalism, comedy hypnosis, psychology, spontaneous comedy and authentic participation become one polished audience experience.
Every program begins with the real room, schedule and people—not a generic routine copied into another city. The objective is to create shared laughter, theatrical mystery and those impossible moments that make an audience ask, “How on earth did that just happen?”
The Audience Is The Experience™

Downtown Dayton conferences may involve exhibit halls, meeting rooms, theaters, hotel ballrooms or multipurpose event spaces. The Dayton Convention Center is a major downtown conference setting with exhibit, meeting and theater environments, but each room still requires its own entertainment and production plan.
A successful program considers the distance between the stage and first audience row, ceiling height, screen placement, sound reinforcement, lighting, meal-service timing and transitions between conference sessions. A theater-style general session requires a different approach from an after-dinner ballroom or executive meeting.
Planners serving Montgomery County and the Miami Valley should also account for attendee transportation, downtown parking, hotel movement, vendor access and the time required to reset a room after meals, exhibits or educational sessions.
For a Dayton Convention Center setting, confirm the exact room, seating plan, stage, microphones, lighting, projection and attendee flow. Current facility specifications and approvals must come directly from the venue.
Ballroom and general-session programs benefit from strong sightlines, focused lighting and a sound system that keeps every spoken moment clear. Audience proximity matters as much as overall room capacity.
Elijah’s program may be discussed as an opening experience, closing celebration, after-dinner feature, awards-program centerpiece or high-energy transition between major conference segments.
The broad entertainment format combining comedy hypnosis, mentalism, psychology, spontaneous comedy and invited audience participation. It works as a premium shared experience for conferences seeking laughter, energy and connection.
A distinct interactive evening of mentalism and comedy. Choose this direction when theatrical mystery and impossible psychological moments should lead the experience instead of a hypnosis-centered presentation.
Interactive keynotes, conference breakouts, seminars and corporate training designed around audience connection and participation. Learning objectives and entertainment objectives are established clearly during planning.
Participation is invited, never forced. There are no planted stooges, concealed off-microphone instructions or manufactured reactions. Real people make real choices, and their personalities help create the laughter, mystery and shared moments experienced by the room.
