One of the most remarkable aspects of John Riggs’ mentalism is his powerful combination of edgy comedy and realism. I mean, if you are really someone with a strange psychic ability, why not use strange topics and fun themes? The first time I saw this piece (recorded from an old DVD lecture), I was rolling with laughter while being amazed at the same time by his blunt creativity. Thanks, John, for sharing your unique way of thinking.
I bought several of his publications back when I was just starting out. He was always a kind teacher, consistently offering extra attention and genuine care. Those small gestures meant a great deal to a beginner, and I've never forgotten them.
If you don't know his work, do yourself a favor and seek out his published material. And if you can't afford it, you can still discover a tremendous conversation on this underground gem of a YouTube channel by Lee Earle. It's well worth your time.
