Alain Nu Special Events
Known as the capital of the powerful, elite and clandestine, Washington, DC, is also the home of Alain Nu, “The Man Who Knows.”
Star of the international television series “The Mysterious World of Alain Nu,” this unprecedented man of mystery has entertained audiences worldwide with his uncanny demonstrations that blur the line between science and the mysteries of unexplained phenomena.
Whether Alain Nu is mesmerizing Washington insiders at The National Theatre, captains of commerce at a capital conference or revelers at a Presidential Inauguration, his worldly audiences all share a common sense of awe, exclaiming comments such as, “I don’t know how to explain that!” “No way, no way!” and “I don’t believe in magic. But, I saw it happen. And, I believe what I saw.”
Exploring the line between what is real and what is not, what is possible and what is impossible, Alain Nu challenges the mind to explore how we are all strangely connected through a mysterious energy.
Alain Nu is “the modest explorer, the gracious and kind tour guide leading the audience into investigations and ultimately mysterious realms,” Donn Murphy, Ph.D., Executive Director of The National Theatre, wrote after seeing him. “It works beautifully… with electric energy, enormous imagination and warm appeal.”
“I’ll take you to where nothing seems impossible,” says Alain Nu. “Think about it. With just our thoughts and words as tools of visualization, we have the beginnings of untold power.”
Whether performing on stage or television, Alain Nu utilizes these untold powers to foretell our actions, reveal our unspoken thoughts and create seemingly impossible phenomena.
How does he do it? Living in a town known for secrecy, Alain Nu is reluctant to reveal his especially sensitive powers. He does acknowledge that his uncanny effects are a clever conglomerate of ideas, incorporating elements of probability, psychology, suggestion, professional techniques and good timing. First, and most importantly, however, he considers himself an entertainer.
Q: So just what does ‘The Man Who Knows’ know?
A: “I know that each of us has a super hidden potential that is real” Alain Nu
Q: Is it possible for us to actually develop these super powers?
A: “I think that answer lies in our ability to dream” Alain Nu
Q: Are you really going to freak me out?
A: “Let’s give it a try!” Alain Nu

"Your mental abilities are phenomenal and mind boggling. I was totally mesmerized by your work. I am at a loss for words… so how do I describe it? You are a mentalist, which is a bit scary for those of us who have simple minds. It is truly amazing to imagine the human capacity and then to see it in action! Thank you for ‘wowing’ me and my audience. People still ask – “Do you know how he did…” and my response is still, ‘I have no idea! It’s crazy!’ Our audience enjoyed, questioned, and wanted MORE!"
- Dwaine C. Coley, Artistic Director, Alexander Central Auditorium
"Your unique demonstrations of extraordinary powers of recollection, divination… combined with a mental focus strong enough to bend metal fascinated the crowd.

- Jonathan P. Graham, Vice President, Litigation & Legal
Policy, General Electric
"It takes a great deal of talent and showmanship
to impress our performers, and you did so with great style! You
were truly mind-boggling and very entertaining. Even at close range,
your work is stunning. We look forward to seeing your performance
again in the future."
-Tim Robinson, Cirque du Soleil, Mystere Treasure
Island Resort and Casino
"I just had to write and thank you for sharing your knowledge of the human potential of the mind, through your spellbinding presentation. Inasmuch as I was mesmerized by the cable TV series I was fortunate enough to view, to actually see you perform, in person, was totally awesome! I can’t imagine what we’ll do for an encore, next year!”
- Rose Clancey, Executive Assistant to the President, Solaris Health System
"You absolutely blew us away with your performance! Friends of mine that have seen you previously told me you were phenomenal, but that word does not even fully describe your talent and performance. Our guests loved you and are still talking about you, as am I!! We enjoyed having you for dinner with us, and spending the evening with our friends and clients. II will absolutely refer anyone I know to you, and have already given your name to a coupe of our guests."
- Pam Whitmer, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
"Alain performed at my son's graduation
party, which was thick with Ivy Leaguers and lots of serious DC
brain power. The great minds of Washington are still scratching
their heads: how did he do that? He was sensational, professional,
personable and just superb in every way. Prepare to be amazed."
- Sofia Bassman, Writer
"More unusual is the act in the Secret Pagoda Theatre. It offered an all-too-brief performance by Alain Nu who rotates as headliner until the end of the month. After seeing so much magic in this town that I could give the wine back, the highest praise for Nu is to say he did things that I'd never seen before. The most intriguing had two audience recruits sitting in chairs with their eyes closed, both feeling the same sensations, such as a feather's tickle, even though the audience can see only one of them is being touched."
"
- Mike Weatherford, The Las Vegas Review Journal
"My guess is that, during the course of any single year, you receive a steady stream of mail from clients who write for no other reason than to rave about your evenings of mystery and magic. Nevertheless, in the hope that well-deserved kudos never grow old, I hope you will forgive me if I plunge into that current with nothing more original than a great big Wow. We were willing passengers on what for you must have been a routine commute but for us was a voyage of discovery and wonder. I swear I heard at least one person audibly gasp when, with an elegant flourish, you concluded one of your memorable set."
- Herbert Thomas, Partner, LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene, & MacRae, LLP
"On behalf of President George W. Bush, we thank you for making our special event so memorable. You held our guests spellbound with your unbelievable spoon bending and magical entertainment!

Your performance was simply fantastic and just perfect for this historic event! In addition to your incredible performance abilities, we appreciate your cooperation and sincere desire to create an unforgettable experience for our guests. You certainly met and exceeded our expectations, which is the mark of a true professional. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you again in the future."
- Cynthia Grubb, Entertainment Director, Presidential Inaugural Committee

"I just wanted to write a note to sing the praises of Alain Nu's ESP show. It was truly amazing! I was a bit skeptical about the show when I booked him, simply because I had had no previous encounters with a mentalism show, but I am SO GLAD that I didn't let my skepticism influence my decision. Now I cannot even IMAGINE a better way to have closed out our event; everyone was on a bus to get back from the waterfront, and they were all in a heated exchange about how Alain could have possibly done what he did."
- Karen Preston, Fairfax , VA
"I wanted to let you know how crucial you were to the success of our party and how grateful I am to you. Young and old, children and adults, filled my ears with your praises. And again last night I saw some parents of our son's friends who told me their children had such a great time at the party and thought you were absolutely amazing. I wish you only the best of everything and thank you from the bottom of my heart for adding so much to our beautiful memories of our Bar Mitzvah celebration."
- Debby Hellman, Baltimore , MD
