Pre-ORDER: Mentalism as Art VideoLecture
If you are interested in exploring your artistic potential in Mentalism, this videolecture is for you!
Quote of the Week: Romero Britto
Today we explore the idea of "art" from Brazilian artist Romero Britto
Is Mentalism Art?
Thats a classic question in the Mystery Performances.
In a short answer: "It can be, but it doesnt need to be"
What I mean by that?
Mentalism for some people is a cool hobby that doesnt require a deeper aesthetic exploration, and thats fine. Not everyone feels the call to understand Mentalism as her/his art, but what if you feel that ?
There is no much published work specifically this topic, and that is why I will start a "Gnostic Series" of VideLectures in which I will touch 4 dimensions of Mentalism, and the first one is "Art"
If you are interested in this topic, this videolecture is for you!
AND because it will be release next Monday, I will open a 50% discount as pre-order.
If you feel that you can share understand Mentalism as your artistic vehicle of expression, join me in this fascinating conversation!
Quote of the Week: Mieko Kamiya
What a beautiful and meaningful idea from Mieko Kamiya, Japanese Psychiatrist and the "Mother of Ikigai Psychology".
What is Ikigai?
In simple terms, whatever gives you the experience of being in a meaningful moment. Right now my Ikigai is writing this text for you to reflect about the relevance of these concepts as Mystery Performer. Then my Ikigai will be writing future projects for Mentalism Center, be in service as a psychotherapist, be ready to perform is the casual situation appears, play guitar and be with my family.
Is Mentalism your Ikigai?
I hope so, for me at least is part of my mission for sure. It doesnt matter if you are a professional or casual performer, being able to share this beautiful mental mysteries for others can be a fantastic and meaningful activity and way of being for you in service to others. Going out of your individualism, practice and rehearse with passion so you can be prepared to offer an unique moment.
Mentalism can be a fun hobby without much depth for sure, but if you are interested in explore your authenticity through this beautiful art, welcome to the exploration!
That is why we offer much more than tricks and cool props. They are fun toys for sure, but the true richness of Mystery Performance is not about What we do but How and Why. Thats the true space in which you will learn the essential and fundamental principles. If you are open to those secrets, you can still do cool tricks and use that ultimate prop, but you will not need that in order to offer your best and create meaningful mysteries.
If you are interested in these topics, I highly recommend you to get "The Path of Mystery" and check our Videocourses.

Quote of the Week: Margaret Atwood
What a beautiful insights from poetess and writer Margaret Atwood, completely applicable in our arts.
From the "Birreal" paradigm, the idea is to manifest the Inner Reality of our secrets through the Outer Reality in such a way that everything that is perceived doesnt expose or even communicates in any way any type of procedure. Every action must be studied as choreography, every word needs to be relevant and the artifacts are the focus of the mystery.
If you dont do all these reflection and action, you will enter into the classic risk of simply doing a trick, hoping that people are not logically-oriented so they cant discern some part of your method, or worse, the core method in itself. For example in using a billet to create a telepathic experience, every action needs to be motivated as if you are just holding an innocent piece of paper without real relevance to the actual telepathic experience. If the participant or the audience thinks or feels something about the actual paper, we are losing potential of mystery, bringing the critical mind in an unnecessary way.
Is our task as Mystery Performer to transform potential puzzles and tricks into actual mental mysteries.
