im a mentalist (mind magic)
I get it that it is a magician’s tuxedo coat and I am not sure what other image would be more suitable for a logo.
The only thing that I don’t really like is having your tag line centered when everything else is flush left.
Check out a couple of different renderings. I kind of prefer to put your name first, but that’s the major difference. The second version with the tag line rotated and moved is sort of "interesting" itself. Picture someone taking the card and rotating it to read that line. Maybe it would be too much of an annoyance, though.
And I took the "elbow" out of the coat, too. It looks better this way.
I also see In A Moment’s point. Maybe you can add a line that says, "Entertainment for your" about the part about "Corporate events… etc."

I really like CaliSue’s version.

You know, my life would not be complete without these thumbs down. It shows me that someone cares enough to follow me everywhere I go.
The image and what you do are not communicating together
Try a picture of two brains maybe………its a good card for a suit hire company

I think the card is fine. I’d move the "seen anything interesting lately" over under the email address though. keep everything in whats called unity.

ohhh mind magic!!!! awesome!!! I like the design. Maybe you should add a little sparkle here and there like two or thtee kinda like this * just scattred around. To show off the magic part. I think it looks good other wise. Very clean. Not too distracting. Nice.

I find it striking and classy.

you have a bit of what is called dynamic tension in the upper right hand corner because of the two white elements that run off the page. I would have to agree that the look is okay but the fact that it is a mentalists’ card gets lost in the shuffle of the images also I agree that the slogan of "seem anything"… could be moved further into the black of the diner jacket might even consider changing seen to "thought"of anything usual hope that helps a bit just keep playing with it a bit you will get it to gel just right.

It’s okay but the card does not tell the viewer what exactly you do. If I’m having a party, do I call you for food, music, set up,… You see what I mean???

Most people will not know what a mentalist is.
A graphic with text for a business card will have to be 600dpi resolution or you will get stepping in the text.

Did up a graphic for 1000 yesterday to printer’s specs.
When I first looked at the card I thought maybe you did catering. The fact that you’re a Mentalist doesn’t jump out at first glance.
I thought it would be more defining if your name & Mentalist were at the top of the card, so I played around with it just to give you another option to think about. Here’s my version….

(NOTE: I have no experience with making business cards, so I don’t know any of the technical stuff involved. My version is purely a rookies attempt.)
