This will push boundaries, and astonish even the most sceptical audience members, he says.

Keith Barry has been blazing a trail across the globe for many years.

His mind-blowing skills have been showcased in over 40 international television shows, with Keith's series 'Hypnotize Me' currently airing on the CW network in the US.

Based on the smash ITV hit 'You're Back in The Room', ‘Hypnotize Me’ is going down a storm with the American audience.

He has also just finished production of his new RTÉ series 'The Keith Barry Experience' which will air on RTÉ One this September.

As well as his own hugely successful US TV series, including ‘Deception with Keith Barry’, Keith has appeared many times on some of the most prestigious US shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show and The Conan O’Brien Show.

He has also brain-hacked many celebrities including Woody Harrelson, Bono, Nicole Scherzinger, Morgan Freeman and many others.

Keith has written, produced and performed many of his own stage shows in the last 15 years and has sold out venues in the US, Australia, Canada, Spain, South Africa, the UK and of course his native Ireland.

He has also recently presented his keynote speech ‘Mind Magic’ at places such as The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, The Pendulum Summit and The Dublin Tech Summit.

In 2004, Barry performed in a MTV television special entitled ‘Brainwashed’ and 2005 ended with Barry performing a live Christmas special in Europe.

Keith Barry Live With Friends featured various celebrities such as magician Billy McComb, Jim Corr of The Corrs, and The Conway Sisters.

Barry’s success throughout Europe coupled with his MTV special led to a four-year multi-special deal with CBS. His first special with CBS debuted on 12 May 2006 and was entitled ‘Keith Barry: Extraordinary’.

The special later aired on New Year’s Eve 2006 on The CW and on New Year’s Day 2007 on TV3 in New Zealand and on  the Arena channel.
