Meet the Mind Behind the Mystery: Spotlight on Original ATOM Performer Paul Draper with A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group
Some entertainers amaze you.
Some make you laugh.
Some leave you wondering, “How on earth did they do that?”
And then there’s Paul Draper, someone who somehow manages to do all three while also making you think.
As one of the original performers in the A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group family, Paul has been helping audiences experience the impossible for years. Whether he’s reading minds, performing astonishing sleight of hand, sharing stories from cultures around the world, or breaking into song, Paul brings something incredibly rare to the stage: genuine curiosity about people.
That curiosity is what makes every performance unforgettable.
Paul isn’t simply a magician or mentalist. He’s also a trained anthropologist who has spent years studying how people think, communicate, believe, and connect with one another. Rather than keeping those worlds separate, he brilliantly blends them together into performances that are equal parts entertainment, psychology, storytelling, and wonder.
It’s a combination you don’t see every day.
Or perhaps… ever.
More Than Magic
When people hear the word magician, they often picture rabbits, top hats, and card tricks.
Paul certainly has extraordinary technical skill, but his performances go far beyond traditional magic.
His acclaimed show, Mysteries of the Mind, explores intuition, perception, persuasion, memory, and human behavior through interactive demonstrations that leave audiences questioning what’s possible. Rather than simply performing for the audience, Paul performs with them, making every show unique because the people in the room become part of the experience.
Guests don’t just watch.
They participate.
They laugh.
They gasp.
And long after the event ends, they’re still talking about what they witnessed.
A World-Class Performer
Paul’s career has taken him around the globe.
He’s appeared on major television networks including the History Channel, HBO, A&E, Hallmark, HGTV, Travel Channel, and TNT, with appearances on programs such as Hell’s Kitchen, Pawn Stars, Ghost Adventures, Mindfreak, and House Hunters.
He’s performed at legendary venues including:
- The Magic Castle in Hollywood
- The Magic Circle in London
- Planet Hollywood
- The Venetian Las Vegas
- Corporate events for companies like Apple, Meta, Oracle, Adobe, and Lockheed Martin
- Universities including Yale and Cambridge
- Even the United Nations
That’s an impressive résumé by any standard.
But if you ask those who’ve worked with Paul, they’ll often mention something else first.
His warmth.
His professionalism.
And his ability to make every audience member feel like they’re part of something special.
Entertainment That Connects People
One of the things we love most at A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group is entertainment that brings people together.
Paul does exactly that.
Whether he’s mingling through a cocktail reception performing close-up miracles just inches from your guests or captivating a ballroom full of hundreds with mind-reading and audience interaction, his performances naturally spark conversation.
People who have never met suddenly find themselves comparing notes.
“Did he really know what I was thinking?”
“How did he know my card?”
“There’s no way that was possible…”
Those shared moments of amazement become lasting memories—and that’s exactly what great entertainment should do.
The Perfect Fit for Corporate Events, Cruises, and Private Celebrations
Paul’s versatility is one of the reasons he’s been such an important part of the ATOM family.
His performances feel just as at home at:
- Corporate conferences
- Holiday parties
- Awards banquets
- Cruise entertainment
- Private celebrations
- Hospitality events
- Fundraisers
- Special VIP experiences
Because every show is customized to the audience, guests never feel like they’re watching a generic act.
They feel like they’re experiencing something created just for them.
Why We Love Having Paul on the Team
At A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group, we’ve always believed entertainment should be more than background noise.

It should bring strangers together and give friends something they’ll still be talking about months later.
Paul Draper embodies that philosophy perfectly.
He’s endlessly curious, deeply knowledgeable, incredibly talented, and genuinely passionate about creating meaningful experiences for every audience he meets. Whether he’s astonishing guests with impossible feats of mentalism, sharing fascinating insights from his background in anthropology, or simply making people laugh, Paul reminds us that the very best entertainment doesn’t just fool the mind—it captures the imagination.
And that’s exactly why we’re proud to have him as one of our original ATOM performers.
