A lot of the power of mentalism is stagecraft taken from traditional magic. What I find confusing are the ethics behind Mentalism acts.... but thats another thread entirely.


I too am a little bit curios as to what you meant here?

Before anyone gets all hot and bothered - that was a joke! I'm sure the people who I perform for lead very exciting, colourful lives. Don't blame me. I'm reading Charlie Brooker at the moment.
