Mark Salem, one of the world’s greatest mind-readers, was star turn at Tabula Mentis XV – a twice-yearly get-together of some of the greatest minds in mentalism. His two-hour lecture on the skills and techniques that he employs to help him read minds was a real master-class; combining subtle yet simple techniques that I will making great use of in my future performances.
Marc wasn’t the only stunning lecturer to take part in the day. Brian Barne’s expose of the classic blindfold card reading techniques employed by Al Koran will certainly be a part of my new show – though with tarot cards I think. And both Ben Cardell and Peter Turner were inspirational in their approaches to the black art of mind-reading.
