Recently, I have found that there has been an increasing interest from people enquiring into my services as a Mentalist.
What is Mentalism…and what can I tell you that a Google search wouldn’t reveal…?
Mentalism is a sub category of magic, but many pedantic practitioners of the art of mentalism would be at pains to distinguish it from magic suggesting that it is greatly different, using vastly different techniques and working in a different way and application to the art and artifice of magic.

Following its SXSW premiere the King of Horror himself, Stephen King, applauded the film, tweeting to his 7.1 million followers: “It’s absolutely brilliant, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.”

The symbol is called a Valknut ( Odin's Knot or knot of the fallen ); it is supposed to represent the gods power to bind and unbind, thereby also representing life and death and the transition between ( and therefore a ..read more
