Over 30 years of considering, pursuing and performing mentalism I came to the eventual conclusion that it’s all training wheels for the real thing.
Billets and book tests teach you how to communicate mystery.
Mental magic teaches you how to compelling deliver information and conjure with the intersections of randomness and personal meaning.
The Questions & Answers Act teaches you how to play the part of someone doing the real thing.
Eventually the time comes to let go of all the deception and to stand in front of a room full of strangers and use what you have been taught to do the real thing.
To deliver readings, predictions and magical experiences without the need for the deceptions. Eventually the time comes that the deception simply isn’t needed. Eventually you don’t have to play the part, you have become it.
Now the big questions arrive! How to manage the excitations of the audience so you can meet them without the obvious fireworks the old deceptions allowed? How can you structure a 50 minute show that builds to a compelling and satisfying climax without the tricks?
What …. Do…. You…. Do…. Now… The… Time…. Has… Come…..
On March 12th at 9pm U.K time we will host a special live 2 hour session in which I will share the answers I came to and how eventually I left behind the tricks and deceptions and instead managed the audience expectations allowing me to present a 55 minute deception free performance of intuitive readings complete with a compelling and satisfying climax that might be more effective than any trick any mentalist could do. This is a shift in perception for not just the audience but more importantly for the mentalist.
The session is limited to 30 people only. The session can be downloaded after it is finished and full performance rights in all settings are granted with ticket purchase. We anticipate demand being high. Tickets are offered on a first come first served basis.
