People of all ages love to be entertained. And live entertainment is special. You can’t steam it or pause it. But it’s only entertaining if it’s engaging. Interactive. Personal. Fun.
Alexander Beresford will amaze your guests with a unique combination of mentalism, Bizarre magic, and psychic entertainment. But what exactly are these kinds of entertainment about? What is a ‘mentalist,’ anyway?
Mentalism is a branch of magic designed to look like real mind reading. Using a combination of skills, a great mentalist can resemble what a real mind reader would look like. But these skills are not necessarily what you might think.
While some mentalists use trickery to accomplish their feats, some use no tricks at all. They may use heightened powers of observation to find out what you are thinking. Using ‘tells’ – those little involuntary movements of the eyes, mouth, hand gestures, and more, the mentalist may use your tells when you are asked a question to zero in on what you’re thinking.
Other times, the mentalist may use facets of little-known aspects of human psychology to create the illusion of mind reading. Still others claim to use their five known senses to create the illusion of a sixth.
And that leads to the next skill Alexander uses…
Let’s set aside the debate about whether psychics are real or not.
Some people believe in real psychics. Some do not. But Alexander never claims to use real psychic abilities in his demonstrations. But as a ‘psychic entertainer,’ he uses a misunderstood and far more reliable tool.
Intuition.
More and more scientists believe intuition is a real ability humans have. Intuition can provide those flashes of deep understanding or insight that seem to border on the impossible. Alexander has honed his intuitive skills and uses those same skills during his stage or standup shows when performing for groups.
But what about ‘Bizarre’ magic, the final side of the triangle?
Like good mentalism, Bizarre magic can look like the real thing. Bizarre magic is a special branch of magic involving unusual plots, storytelling, and strange magic the regular cards-and-coins performers never touch.
Imagine this scene.
The Bizarre magician asks you to clench your fist tightly. Then he lights a match and touches it to the palm of a drawing of a hand. He blows out the match and asks you to open your hand. Your jaw drops. You look at him and can only say, “How…?”
In the center of your untouched palm is a smear of ashes…apparently transported from that drawing to you by some unknown means.
That’s Bizarre magic.
