DUBAI, UAE – Following a successful debut, Yasas Gunaratne, the acclaimed Mentalist and founder of the premium brand KNIGHT of ILLUSIONS, is set to perform his second major show, “Yasas the Mentalist”, in the Emirate on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The 75-minute performance will be held at the prestigious Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, a five-star venue celebrated for its international appeal and cultural ties.
The show cements Yasas’ position as the first professional Sri Lankan-born Mentalist to successfully win over the demanding Dubai audience and establish a strong presence in the Gulf Region. Now a resident in the UAE, Yasas has been busy performing for high-profile VIP and Corporate events, an experience reflected in his high-calibre, sophisticated performance style.
A World-Class Act Designed fior an International Audience
The 75-minute production is meticulously crafted to meet the high expectations of an International Audience, showcasing a compelling blend of mystery, suspense, laughter, wonder, and profound emotions. The show is built around three core segments that push the boundaries of perception:
- Power of Influence: Audience members will witness how thoughts can be seamlessly guided and actions subtly influenced, revealing moments of impossible synchronicity and control.
- Power of Connection: This segment explores the invisible bond between minds, allowing individuals to share sensations and prove that human connection transcends the physical, delivering true moments of astonishment.
- Predict the Future: Challenging the audience’s perception of time, Yasas delivers astonishing revelations, making the future no longer a mystery.
Yasas’ reputation for professionalism and delivering powerful corporate entertainment is solid, with a performance history that includes global brands like Virgin Mobile, Toyota, Domino’s Pizza, TEDx, Round Table International, and Toastmasters International.
KNIGHT ofi ILLUSIONS: Bringing Vegas to the UAE
Beyond his personal performances, Yasas Gunaratne is now focused on expanding the KNIGHT of ILLUSIONS brand within the UAE to become the premier gateway for international illusionists.
In the past, KNIGHT of ILLUSIONS has produced shows featuring world-champion magicians and Vegas Headliners, including celebrated names like Xavier Mortimer, Shawn Farquhar, The Clairvoyants, and Michael Finney. Yasas believes the region’s growing event
infrastructure is perfect for large-scale magic, mentalism and illusions.
“The Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, and the emerging entertainment hubs like Al Marjan Island in Ras Al-Khaimah are the markets for international-level magic and mentalism,” Yasas stated. “While I perform as a Mentalist, my versatility extends to large-scale Magic and Illusion acts, and my goal is to fill those arenas with the calibre of performers the world deserves to see.”
As a self-taught artist whose achievements are a source of pride in Sri Lanka, the focus is clearly on elevating the standard of VIP entertainment in the UAE and cementing KNIGHTofILLUSIONS as the essential connection for agencies and organisations seeking the absolute best.
