Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS A MENTALIST OR PSYCHIC ENTERTAINER?A mentalist or psychic entertainer is a theatrical performer who works with the human mind and thoughts, can receive those thoughts mentally and the ability to manipulate those thoughts. By using a variety of techniques, he is able to create effects that would only seem possible by psychic or paranormal means.
WHAT TECHNIQUES DO YOU USE?
I use a range of techniques including but not limited to: verbal and non-verbal communication, psychology, magic and perceptual manipulation. Usually it is a combination of many techniques at once.
DO YOU HAVE PSYCHIC OR SPIRITUAL POWERS?
First I want to make the distinction that what I do as a performer is very similar to theatrical art, and has no more inherent psychic or spiritual activity than music or any other art form. Since what I do can have a big impact and be unsettling in a positive way, I like to balance it with just the right amount of entertainment and do not imply some "higher” power.
I NEED TO FIND ENTERTAINMENT FOR AN UPCOMING EVENT AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED SOMEONE CLEAN. THE LAST PERSON THAT WAS HIRED OFFENDED MY GUESTS AND RUINED THE EVENT. ARE YOUR SHOWS CLEAN?
Yes, I take pride in the fact that my show is absolutely clean. I know it's YOUR name behind booking the entertainment; my main goal is to have the audience thanking YOU for hiring me.
THE LAST ENTERTAINER I HIRED WAS DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND HAD INCREDIBLE DEMANDS. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO DO A PRESENTATION?
No, in fact clients always comment on how easy I am to work with. Feel free to contact me for more information on my show requirements.
DO YOUR SHOWS INCLUDE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION?
Yes, all of my shows include audience participation. My presentations not only take place on stage but throughout the entire audience as well. Everyone feels like they were a part of the show and treated with total respect both on and off stage. I never embarrass any spectator who is kind enough to volunteer as an assistant. My goal is to have any volunteer who assists in the show, volunteer to assist again the next time we meet.
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO MEET WITH MY GUESTS AFTER THE SHOW TO TAKE PICTURES OR SIGN AUTOGRAPHS?
Yes, unless there is a schedule conflict that would require me to leave after my presentation, I'd be happy to meet with your guests at no additional charge.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW... IS IT REAL?
My interest is to bring people to the point where they would ask such a question but I will not answer it. The rest of that journey is up to each individual to decide. So, sit back, concentrate on the name of your first love, and enjoy the show.
