On the occasion of its grand annual convention at the Royal Resort in Évian, Mobalpa chose to call on mentalist magician Harry Covert to energize its corporate evening with an elegant and impactful performance.

For its major annual convention in Évian-les-Bains, Mobalpa entrusted the evening entertainment to Harry Covert, a professional magician and mentalist based in Haute-Savoie.
The event took place only a short distance from Mobalpa’s historic headquarters in Thônes, bringing together two Haute-Savoie-based businesses for an evening designed around interaction, connection and shared experiences.
Rather than interrupting the convention programme with a separate performance, Harry created entertainment that fitted naturally into the rhythm of the corporate eve
Between presentations and informal networking moments, Harry Covert performed a series of close-up magic experiences directly among Mobalpa’s employees.
Moving naturally from one group to another, he created moments of surprise only a few inches away from the guests. Objects appeared, disappeared or transformed in their hands, while experiments in intuition and mind-reading encouraged colleagues to react and participate together.
The close-up performance was followed by an interactive mentalism experience involving several members of the audience.
There was no imposing stage set and no abrupt interruption to the evening. The entertainment was carefully integrated between the cocktail reception and dinner, combining mystery, refined humour and the sense of timing that characterises Harry Covert’s dandy-inspired style.
During a corporate convention, the objective is not simply to surprise people once. The real challenge is to give colleagues—sometimes working in different departments or locations—a shared reason to interact, laugh and connect.
The first close-up magic experiences quickly sparked conversations between the different groups.
The same question began circulating throughout the room:
“How did he do that?”
During the interactive mentalism performance, several volunteers became the central figures in apparently impossible experiments. Their choices, thoughts and reactions became part of the experience, generating laughter, surprise and applause throughout the room.
The employees were not simply watching the entertainment. They became part of it.
An annual convention is an opportunity to share information and strategic priorities, but it is also an important occasion for strengthening the sense of belonging between employees who may not work together every day.
Entertainment that is too conventional can easily be forgotten. Entertainment that is too intrusive can distract from the purpose and schedule of the event.
Harry Covert’s performance was therefore carefully adapted to the structure of the evening.
Each sequence fitted naturally between the presentations, cocktail reception and dinner without placing additional pressure on the organiser’s schedule.
The result was an experience that supported the atmosphere of the convention while giving employees a strong collective memory to discuss long after the event had ended.
In this context, magic became more than entertainment. It became a tool for connection, conversation and team cohesion.
Annual convention, product launch, company celebration, team-building event or seminar: every professional event has its own objectives, audience and scheduling requirements.
