Company: redBus
Venue: The Leela Palace, Bengaluru
Event Type: Bring Your Kids to Work Day
Entertainment: Kids’ Magic & Illusion Show + Corporate Mentalism Show
When redBus decided to open their doors to the families of their employees, they didn’t just want a fun afternoon — they wanted a day that employees and their children would still be talking about weeks later. That’s exactly what happened when Pradeep Tyson took the stage at the iconic Leela Palace, Bengaluru.
A Day for the Whole Family
“Bring Your Kids to Work” events are a rare and special occasion — a moment where the line between professional and personal blurs in the best possible way. Parents get to show their children where they spend their days. Kids get to see a side of their parents they rarely witness. And for a few hours, the office becomes a place of excitement and discovery.
For redBus, making this event truly memorable meant thinking beyond a typical activity or workshop. They needed entertainment that could speak two very different languages at once — the wide-eyed language of a child, and the sharp, curious mind of a tech professional.
Enter Pradeep Tyson.
Magic and Illusions for the Kids
The younger guests were the first to be swept off their feet. Pradeep opened with a vibrant, interactive magic show designed specifically for children — full of colour, laughter, and moments that made little eyes go wide with genuine disbelief.
Cards transformed in tiny hands. Objects vanished and reappeared in impossible places. Colourful silks, impossible knots, and disappearing coins created a cascade of “how did he do that?!” moments that echoed through the Leela Palace’s elegant halls.
But what made the kids’ show truly special wasn’t just the tricks — it was the involvement. Children were invited up, made to feel like the real stars of the show, and given the chance to “assist” with illusions that genuinely baffled them. The result was an atmosphere of pure, uninhibited joy — the kind that’s rare to find in a corporate setting and completely priceless when it appears.
Mentalism for the Parents
While the children were busy marvelling at the impossible, their parents were about to have their own minds bent.
Pradeep’s mentalism segment for the redBus employees was a completely different kind of experience — one that felt far less like entertainment and far more like something that shouldn’t be possible. Thoughts were seemingly read before they were spoken. Predictions sealed long before the show began were revealed to be correct. Personal details that Pradeep couldn’t possibly have known were called out with quiet, unsettling accuracy.
The reactions from the redBus team were everything — gasps, laughter, genuine disbelief, and more than a few people quietly asking their colleagues “did you tell him that?” (They hadn’t.)
Mentalism works best when performed for an audience of intelligent, sceptical people — and a room full of tech professionals at one of India’s leading travel-tech companies is exactly that. The sharper the minds in the room, the more satisfying it is when the impossible happens anyway.
Why the Leela Palace Was the Perfect Backdrop
There’s something fitting about an event built around wonder and magic taking place at the Leela Palace. The venue’s understated grandeur — warm lighting, elegant interiors, impeccable service — added a layer of occasion to the afternoon that made every moment feel a little more special.
For the children, walking into the Leela Palace was already an experience. Paired with live magic, it became a memory.
Two Shows, One Room, One Unforgettable Afternoon
What made the redBus event stand out was the seamless way the two halves of the show complemented each other. This wasn’t a case of splitting the audience and running separate programmes. Parents watched alongside their children, laughing at the same moments, then leaning forward together as the mentalism began and the energy in the room shifted.
It was entertainment that genuinely worked for everyone — and in an event format designed to bring families closer, that was exactly the point.
