Psychics don't visit this forum, they simply remote view the details. Mentalists use body language and hypnosis to make it appear that what they are doing is remote viewing the contents.
50 eggs no way! |

I have a $100 against Mr. Cool Hand Luke. Perhaps a publicity stunt is in order Luke.

A mentalsit is a magician who performs mental magic tricks. Don't be a mentalist; be a great showman, then you wont be classified into something that sounds so dorky.

If you perform mentalism effects, then for the purposes of discussion within the trade, you are a mentalist. How you define yourself to the public is purely personal preference.

I would go as far as to say if you perform Mental Effects then you are a Magician within the trade. Nothing more. A year or so ago I thought about just calling myself a Magician to avoid all of the disclaimer controversy. No one seems to bug them at all. Then I wanted to say that I perform MAGIK ... Just a little twist there to throw them off. Then there was the Paranormalist buzz ... But honestly, I do not fancy the term Mentalist. It needs to be something more in my mind ... Just not 100% sure what it is yet.
I will eat 50 eggs if I can get them deviled

For purposes of discussion within the trade, if you call yourself a Magician, other performers won't know you perform Mentalism. They'll think you do box tricks or produce doves, etc.
By calling yourself a Mentalist (meaning one who performs mentalism) if conveys what you do in broad terms that are easily understood by other performers. - entity

Why the pigeoen holing? Let a guy call himself whatever he wants. I see calling yourself "a mentalist" a little like going to a sales convention and calling yourself a salesman.
Question: What do you do? Answer: I'm a mentalist. Response: Is that like a Mindreader? The phrase mentalist seems to have become SO generic and vague like psychic entertainer. If a performer better captures his essence in his own description or title let it fly. As I've said before: I once was a mentalist, but now I'm cured. |

Then why hang around a mentalism forum, if you have such disdain for mentalists?

I don't believe he was saying he has a disdain for mentalists, rather, he has a disdain for the labelling...
that's how I read it anyway...i was re-watching the derren brown lecture dvd the other day, he says at one point "im not a magician, I'm a mind-reader..."

He used to be a Mentalist, but now he's "cured"? What an assinine thing to say.
Is it pigeon-holing when one doctor is referred to as a neuro-surgreon and another is referred to as an ear-nose-and throat specialist? These are just specialists withing a trade. That's what Mentalism is. My point, if he'd read my post, was that within the trade, calling one's self a Mentalist conveys broadly the performer's interest to other performers within the trade. However performers define themselves to the public is personal preference. - entity - entity

Hang on, I did read your post...it said:
Then why hang around a mentalism forum, if you have such disdain for mentalists? and I was only pointing out that he didn't say at any point, that he had disdain for mentalists - the people, he just wasnt keen on the label itself...i was only talking about that specific point/post that you made... anyway - hardly worth a big discussion is it... I notice you're so good they've named you twice! entity-entity...
