CLAIRE YISTELLE is a FRENCH-AUSTRALIAN Mentalist, Mind Reader, Illusionist / Magician, Creative Consultant, Art Director, Show Producer, Brand Experience Expert, Magic & Illusion Designer for product launches, brand activations and special events and above all a WORLD-CLASS INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINER who cultivates OVER 10 YEARS OF GLOBAL PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE.

CLAIRE discovered the ART OF MAGIC at the age of 8 years old during a Summer School Circus and Theatre Performance Program. From there, she continued her training in magic, in acting & theatre and in the circus arts as a hobbyist, while simultaneously being a high level competitive gymnast trained by Olympic Gold Medalists until her mid-teenage years. Because of serious health issues caused by the intense gymnastics workouts, CLAIRE had to halt all sports activities for several years. Interested in learning how to play a wind instrument, she enrolled at one of the music schools of her home town, took on the clarinet and later played in a Youth Symphony Orchestra for a while. But eventually, as AN ENTERTAINER AT HEART, addicted to making people laugh, smile and suspend their disbelief, HER CALLING was to focus on her TRUE PASSION FOR MAGIC AND MENTALISM with the SECRET DREAM of one day becoming a professional magical entertainer and psychological illusionist.  

HER INNATE SENSE OF ADVENTURE, LOVE FOR THE UNKNOWN, and CURIOSITY TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER CULTURES & LIFESTYLES led her to LIVE IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE GLOBE: THE USA, SPAIN, AUSTRALIA and ASIA; besides various regions of FRANCE, her birth country. CLAIRE is fluent in English, French and Spanish.

As of today, after NEARLY TWO DECADES OF DEDICATION in LEARNING, PRACTICING and PERFORMING THE CRAFT, CLAIRE is considered ONE OF THE FINEST MENTALIST AND MAGICIAN the world has to offer.
Forging her own path, she became one of the most in demand magical entertainer on the corporate circuit; and thus being nicknamed THE QUEEN OF EVENTS by industry peers and clients alike. CLAIRE has been invited to perform at Corporate and Private events in more than 20 countries, dazzling audiences from all walks of life including CEO’s from 500 fortunes companies, ambassadors, ministers, head of states, royalties, billionaires, celebrities, pioneers in health and medicine, philanthropists, Olympians, prominent academics and public figures.

Prior becoming a full-time professional entertainer and being able to TURN HER PASSION INTO A CAREER, CLAIRE worked for a few years in large corporations and start-ups as a Marketing & Communication Consultant, Recruiter and Event Producer.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Management & Industrial Relations from The University of Sydney (Australia), and a Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Business, Economics & Law that she completed while studying at The University of Barcelona (Spain) and at a top French Business School in Montpellier (South of France).
She also obtained her High-School Diploma specializing in The Performing Arts while being an Exchange Student in The United States (California) on a Merit Scholarship.

On a more personal note, CLAIRE is an avid reader and book lover. She practices the martial arts; she also enjoys swimming, hiking and camping to unwind from the busy performing life; and of course she’s an everlasting passionate and student about everything related to neuroscience, psychology, communication, human behaviour & human connection.
She loves MAKING NEW FRIENDS, BRINGING JOY, WONDER and EXCITEMENT around her and that’s where MAGIC comes in very handy as a TRULY UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

When not touring spreading wonder and blowing the minds of audiences around the world, CLAIRE spends her time between Paris, the French Riviera and Sydney.
