Long Shot Leaders with Michael Stein

Shownotes Transcript

Keith Kong is a world-class mentalist who blends psychology, influence, and showmanship to create mind-bending experiences. Initially aspiring to be a hostage negotiator, he became fascinated with magic at age 10 and later discovered mentalism through his studies in psychology and criminal profiling. ⁣ After years of performing in Orlando’s entertainment scene—sometimes even underage—he turned his passion into a full-time career. His journey includes a triumphant return to Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where he successfully fooled the legendary duo. ⁣ Today, Kong captivates audiences at corporate and private events worldwide, using mentalism to explore the mysteries of human behavior. He’s currently expanding into keynote speaking and writing a book on situational psychology.
