Henrik Fexeus (born 29 September 1971) [1] is a Swedish mentalist, author and TV-host. Since 2005 he is a frequent guest, as expert on body language and non-verbal communication, in television and newspapers including for Expressen at the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria's wedding [2] and for Aftonbladet during the US SuperTuesday 2016. [3]

Contents

He competed as a celebrity dancer in Let's Dance 2022, which was broadcast by TV4. [4]

Early life and education

Henrik Fexeus was born in Örebro, Sweden and grew up in Vallentuna, where he moved seven years old. [5]

Henrik has a BA in Philosophy from Stockholm University and has worked in communications and marketing.

Author

Fexeus has written seven books on practical psychology and influence. His first book, The art of reading minds, was released in 2007 by Forum Bokförlag. In 2010, it received the Pocket Platinum sales award. His second book, When you do what I want, was released in 2008 and received in 2010 the Pocket Gold award.

As of 2019, his books have been translated into over 30 languages, including Chinese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Japanese and Portuguese. [6] Fexeus books have sold more than a million copies worldwide. Since 2019 he is published by St. Martin's Press in USA and by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK.

The first edition of the book The power game had on its cover a picture of Henrik with devil horns, but the image allegedly offended people outside Sweden, so the picture was changed to Henrik with halo and angel wings.

In 2015 Henrik Fexeus released the board game The power struggle – a manipulative family game. The game was based on psychological techniques that Fexeus had written about in previous books and was designed by Henrik Fexeus and Per Nystedt. The power struggle was issued by the game publisher Tactic. [7]

2017 saw Fexeus' debut as a fiction writer, with the urban fantasy thriller The Lost: The Last Illusion Book One.

2019 marked his first collaboration with another writer, with the book RELOAD, co-written by Catharina Edlund.

The TV host

Fexeus television appearances often deal with the same psychological topics as his books. He has appeared in both his own programs and already established program formats.

The lecturer

Since 2005, Henrik Fexeus gives talks based on his books. His lectures deal with non-verbal communication, relationship-building, and "mental super powers". Henrik lectures in Swedish and English all over the world, e.g. in Norway, Mexico, [17] Finland [18] and Spain. His presentations are most often targeted towards corporations and organisations, but in 2018–2019 Henrik toured the theatres in Sweden with his full-evening talk "Your Social Super Powers".

The mentalist

Fexeus is an entertainer within the magic discipline of mentalism. Mentalism uses techniques from psychology, magic and theater to create the illusion of a supernatural ability of mind reading or influence. Other famous mentalists are Uri Geller and Derren Brown. In 2009 Henrik Fexeus was presented with the international award The Dunninger Award from the organization "Psychic Entertainers Association", an award which in 2006 went to the aforementioned Derren Brown and 2010 to Uri Geller. [19] Henrik Fexeus has performed four large stage shows. The last three also become nationwide tours in Seden. To the show BOX (2015–2016), Henrik Fexeus also produced two hours of original music.

Circus of the Mind was produced as DVD by Cinematic Vision in 2011. In Your Head was released on DVD by NjutaFilms in 2013.

Personal life

Fexeus lives in Stockholm and his family consists of his partner and three children. [23] [24] He has two children from a previous marriage with interior blogger Emma Fexeus, and is since 2018 married to Linda Ingelman.
