This is one Belgium's finest mentalist or like he calls himself "Stage Warrior"
His style is the same as Hayashi's. Using swords, danger and helpless women to make his act.
I've seen him live last saturday and his x-factor is just trough the roof. He's got a certain je ne sais qoui about himself.
here's a little clip:

I didn't really care for it. the overall effect was good, but I find it nearly impossible to sit through an act with no speech. Teller is about the only exception, for me.
I get that he wants to build dramatic effect here, but would the whole thing really have been diminished if he'd just said "can you please take off your ring?" instead of pantomime...
I just didn't feel myself getting pulled into the demonstration.

I'm with Demitri on this one.
The effect was nice but too much poncing around for my liking.
I got a bit bored by the end to be honest
You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

It wasn't a bad routine. A bit like Hans Moretti. But how you can call is mentalism is beyond me.
