Hi everyone,

Joined today even though I've been meaning to for years. I'm a 41 year old Mentalist based in Stockholm, Sweden although I was born and lived in the UK for the first 20 years of my life. Mentalism is my full-time career and I work 70% in the corporate sector and 30% for the general public. I do mostly stage work for large audiences with the occasional cocktail/mingle party thrown in too. My niché is mentalism showcasing Spiritualism, séance and Victorian spirit theatre although I perform clean mindreading shows too. I perform in Swedish but sometimes an International client wants a show in English so I get to practice mentalism in my mother tongue.

I don't tend to post loads on Forums as I prefer to read and only speak when I have something to say (instead of just trying to get a good post count). But I look forward to sharing my knowledge and learning new stuff. I'm here to get inspiration and to use the forum as a sounding board.

So Hello and Hej from Sweden.

All the best,
Ringo.

Hi and welcome to TM!

Hi and welcome to TM

Thanks Mandrake and Moonbeam.

I've been browsing around but I'm sad to say that there isn't anybody here. It's hard to join in a conversation by yourself and there's not much to comment on when 90% is off limits and the rest are comments from 5 years ago.

It's true that things are 'quiet' to say the least but that seems to be the trend for bulletin boards. It's a bit ofca chicken and egg thing, which comes first: the topics to discuss or the members to discuss them?

As for the hidden areas, there's nothing earth shatttering in there, certainly less than 90%, but what there is has produced some very workable and commercially successful magic so we restrict access to proven long term members with at least 50 valid posts. It's a rough and ready process but it has served us well for many years.

Understood and quite rightly so.
