This reminded me of the first time I went to see the Bell Witch film. . . we had a creepy woodland area just outside the town of Yellow Springs, OH. known as the Veil. . . as the film ended some old hippie called out. . . "Who's up for an evening walk through the Veil. . . " This area has a...

Christopher & Steerpike have touched on a few things I wanted to say but I do want to touch on a few other points. . . For starters any Mentalist that makes the show about his/her self should be run off the stage, that is NOT what Mentalism is and it is an ego trip that has been long passe for...

I love Christopher's solution in that it is both, artistic as well as professional. At the same time I think the idea of performing for total strangers is applicable for the reasons given. How do you stop your friends from wanting more? The solutions are generally negative so I wouldn't go...

Any of the variety arts can be boring, dull, terrible. . . IT'S THE PERFORMER THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE, it's not the art form. But too, we need to look at the venue; many will try forcing their particular specialty onto an audience that's not the least interested. Mentalism, especially the...

Here's a thought. . . DON'T BUY IT IF IT UPSETS YOU. Better yet, learning something that a.) isn't another bloody card trick; b.) actually requires skill and TALENT and in so doing, be able to contrast yourself against the kids using such a device. Show the world how hours of knuckle busting...

Let's go with Eugene's retort . . . Transcendence means that people are looking for something experiential that can be seen as "real', even when humorous, which the old Rabbi seems to convey (let's face it, Eugene does resemble that aged Rabbi with a beard from which birds fly). It's the art...

That's a dangerous question Zach. . . There are basically three key types of Seance; the silly Disneyesque bits that are basically a magic show with spooky tricks thrown in for kicks & giggles; There's the Storyteller/Collector type character that relates tales either about things he's heard...

OR. . . maybe they are going to do someting for the forum, like follow the encouragement I and others have made here in the past month or so?
