Quote of the Week: Theo Annemann

Annemann was a pioneer, a powerful creator that offers us constant inspiration. He was able to understand the power of Mentalism for audiences, bringing amazing classics that we can apply today using our modern technologies and understandings.

Card tricks are cool, but being able to reveal not just a thought of name, but special characteristics of this person is the fascinating exploration that we can explore during performance.

In our "Minimal One Man Act" we use playing cards as a playful opener that facilitates rapport with the audience, preparing their minds to amazing telepathic mysteries.

Pre-Order: Minimal One Man Act

Annemann's "Complete One Man Mental and Psychic Routine" is a classic that every Mentalist should study and explore.

A powerful example of the potential of Mentalism with several hidden lessons for us. Six beautiful pieces, 30 minutes of telepathic experiences, dramatic revelations, powerful predictions and more!

Inspired by this powerful act I created years ago a minimalistic version that uses no gimmicks, uses simple props and offers an intense experience of mind mysteries.

Quote of the Week: David Hoy

What an amazing opening line from the master David Hoy. A beautiful paradox that opens the curiosity and appeals both to close minded skeptics and open minded explorers of the mysteries.

"Openers" are not just performances pieces, but scripts that you can use in order to consciously use the power of language as artifact in your performance.

That is why at Mentalism Center we focus so much in those forgotten arts, one of them being the art of scripting. There is SO MUCH power in being able to say what you want in a way that is crafted and designed for impact. All our heroes were aware of this, and we can too!

Quote of the Week: Isaac Newton

Today we bring the wisdom from Isaac Newton, an unique polymath full of powerful understandings about reality.

He was not only a master of mathematics and physics but also a philosopher and an alchemist. A true demonstration that both exoteric and esoteric sciences can co-exist . He understood nature in an unique manner and we can learn from his insights as Mystery Performer.

Nature follows what is simple, and because we are also nature, we can bring this naturalness into our performance by embracing simplicity as value. In all my work you will find that minimalism, simplicity and natural interactions are part of what I consider powerful Mentalism.

Explore simplicity in your work both in your Inner Reality of methods and secret techniques and your Outer Reality of interactions, performance and conversations.

Quote of the Week: Milton Erickson

Language is a powerful technique if we explore deeper, and the work from master hypnotherapist Milton Erickson is a clear example of that.

Language is a dynamic that we can polish so our performance improves every day.

His use of indirect communication and effective ambiguity is a must if you are interested in these concepts as part of your toolkit as Mystery Performer.

In my experience, Equivoque is one of the essential techniques in Mentalism.

Being able to influence others is a real skill that you can learn, and if you are interested in going deeper in a simple and guided manner, be sure to check your offerings!
