Tristan McLindon

For fifteen years, Tristan McLindon had a perfectly respectable career in marketing, studying and applying exactly how brands steal your attention, hold it, and sell it back to you. Then, this year, he did the sensible thing and walked away from all that to mess with people’s minds for a living instead.

And so far it’s somehow working. Tristan has rocketed onto the scene as one of the country’s leading magicians and mentalists, landing a spot on The Morning Show, popping up in news.com.au, being featured in the New York Post and selling out his run at the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He’s also become a sought-after entertainer for corporate events, and a keynote and TEDx speaker, bringing the same mind-bending skills to boardrooms and stages across the country.

But, it’s not just tricks. Tristan is on a mission to hijack your attention in a world where it’s being stolen every single day, and he’s using everything he learned in comms and marketing to pull it off. The same psychology that gets you to click “buy now”? He’s turned it on you, live, on stage.

With a family depending on him and no safety net (or backup career), the stakes are real and Tristan is stopping at nothing to get inside your head, one impossible moment at a time.
