We invite today piano jazz maestro Bill Evans to our conversations, a fascinating artist full of insights for anyone interested in exploring their own authenticity and sensibility.
Mentalism is not an art per se, in the same way that simply playing an instrument is not Music per se. There are no arts, but artists. Even disciplines that we don't usually consider "arts", such as sports or the sciences, can be seen as arts by people who treat them that way. When someone is brilliant at whatever they do, people often call that person a "Magician" or "Wizard". It looks like every art has a hidden magic that we can uncover through our own unique expression.
Mentalism is entertaining, commercial, and a great show to experience, but it can be more than that. And I dare to say it needs to be more than that.
Sell your show, but also be aware that this space of performance offers a possibility to inspire, uplift, and empower others.
Mentalism is only about "rationality" when we have a limited understanding of what the mind is. Let's go beyond that. Let's touch other people's souls. Let's bring a new expansion, a new experience, a moment that can remain in their memories for a lifetime.
Invite people to enjoy wonder, to embrace paradoxes, and to experience the power of the mind in a tangible way.
If you are interested in deeper explorations of this topic, I invite you to study our "Mentalism as Art" Video Course.
