A mind that blends art and science
Leandro Morgado stands out for his rare ability to unite anthropology, psychology and illusion into meaningful and immersive experiences. Born in Lisbon in 1981, he has built a career that crosses performance, research and corporate education. His work has taken him to stages and organisations throughout Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States, where he continues to refine the craft of turning complex ideas into engaging and accessible moments of discovery.
As an anthropologist, Leandro explores the way humans perceive and interpret the world. As a performer and mentalist, he translates this knowledge into interactive moments that leave audiences questioning how they think, decide and remember. This dual background allows him to approach communication and critical thinking from a perspective that is both scientific and deeply human, ensuring each session feels original, personal and thought-provoking.
Book Leandro Morgado for your event
Event organisers seeking a speaker who delivers more than traditional keynote content quickly recognise Leandro’s appeal. His sessions are designed not as monologues, but as shared experiences where the audience actively participates in the unfolding narrative.

Leandro specialises in themes such as perception, critical thinking, communication and memory, areas that shape individual performance and team dynamics. His work demonstrates how easily our minds can be influenced, misled or distracted, while offering clear strategies for improving awareness and decision-making.

Performer, author and creator of interactive learning

His storytelling style makes each performance unique, ensuring the emotional impact stays with participants long after the event.
He is also the author of The Secrets of Your Mind, a book in which he shares insights shaped by his work as a mentalist and research anthropologist. The book examines how we perceive, remember and decide, turning scientific principles into practical tools. Readers gain a clearer understanding of their own mental processes, while event audiences benefit from the same clarity when Leandro incorporates these themes into his talks and workshops. His ability to simplify complex ideas without losing depth is one of the reasons he remains a highly requested speaker.
