Eric Dittelman is a talented mentalist based in the USA; and performs at corporate and collegiate events. Often known by just his surname, Dittelman combines amazing mind reading with stand-up and improv comedy.

He has since appeared on Ellen, Live with Kelly and Ryan, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. He’s also been featured in Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and even The National Enquirer.


He has studied improv comedy with The Upright Citizens Brigade, ImprovBoston, and The Second City. In 2018, he made his Broadway debut appearing with The Illusionists.
