Keith Barry

Keith Patrick Barry is a notable Irish mentalist, hypnotist, magician, and activist. His book Brain Hacks sold over 10,000 copies in Ireland.

Keith Barry was born on 2 October 1976 in Waterford, Ireland. His early fascination with magic began at age 5 with a Paul Daniel's magic set, leading to semi-professional performances at 15.

Barry graduated from NUI Galway in 1998 with a chemistry degree. However, he pivoted to entertainment and motivational speaking in 2000.

Barry's TV career commenced with Close Encounters with Keith Barry (2003–2005). His European success expanded globally, featuring on over 40 international shows, including The Ellen Show and The Jimmy Kimmel Show. His CBS specials and The Keith Barry Experience in Ireland further cemented his fame.

Keith suffered a severe car crash in 2007 but made a remarkable comeback later that year. His TED talk, a top 25 all-time view, showcases his talent and innovative thinking. He's consulted on two Hollywood films and performed on various international platforms.

In 2021, Keith published Brain Hacks, a bestseller in Ireland. This book offers techniques for developing a champion mindset and mental toughness. It caters to those seeking improvement in various life aspects, from career to personal growth.

His first children's book, Mind Magic, was released in 2023. Adapted from Brain Hacks, it aims to empower kids with confidence, resilience, and the ability to overcome setbacks. The book intertwines personal stories with practical advice.

Keith Barry has garnered numerous awards, including a Merlin Award and a James Joyce Award.

If you’re constantly being zapped by the idea that you can’t do something, or that you’re stupid or less important than somebody else, then eventually you’re going to start believing it.

visualise myself scoring goals or doing well,’ he once explained of his visualisation technique. ‘You’re trying to put yourself in that moment and trying to prepare yourself, to have a “memory” before the game.’

But visualisation is not just for artists, sports

asked them to concentrate on making their imagination as vivid as possible. He wanted them to see the court and feel the weight of the ball in their hands. He asked them to hear the swoosh of the ball as it dropped neatly through the net.
The third group were told NOT TO PLAY basketball for a whole month.
At the end of the month, Alan got the team back together and recorded their accuracy again, just as he had done before.
The results were astounding.
The third group (who had done absolutely nothing) showed no signs of improvement. That makes sense – as we know, you won’t get better at something if you don’t practise.
The first group, who had practised for an hour every day, had improved – in fact, they scored around 24% more. For example, if a player had scored 16 baskets the first time around, one month later they scored 20 baskets.
Again, nothing very unusual about that – Alan expected the group that practised to get better at throwing, and that’s exactly what happened.
But what about the second group? That’s where the big surprise came.
That group had done nothing but IMAGINE themselves throwing the ball into the basket – but they had improved too! In fact, they had improved ALMOST AS MUCH as the group that had practised every day!
