I have been whanting to post this for a while now but haven't got around to it. Well, last night reminded me once again.
I was at a wedding reception last night and some one came up to me who had heard that I was a mentalist and wanted to see something. He was a nice guy, friendly but very skeptical. I said sure and proceeded to do what I normaly do in impromptu cases. I had three things one me which is what I always carry with me, my p**k wallet, business card and pen. I decided to do a simple ct, I then proceeded to tell him that this was a male, his best friend, and got him to think of any letter in the name and then told him the letter he was thinking of and finaly the name he wrote. Being a skeptic he didn't no what to think or believe. that's when the questions started to come. He told me he dosent believe in phsycics but as the same time he didn't now know what to believe. Now for the record I don't claim to be physcic but do have a speal that works good for me and proceeded to tell him who I am and how I use intuition and ect to acheive certain things. This is when I usually leave but do to the circamstances I had no where to go. It was a small place and he was interested in everything I had to say and wanted to know more. In most cases I just perform , chat for abit and then leave(dine and dash)This has now started to happen to me more and more and in most cases I slowly change the subject and in this case it was changed to hypnosis and it worked really well. All in all I think he walked away with a different perspective on the mind. My question is what do some of you do in this case? I mean, He was a skeptic from the begging and now still not believeing in phsycic phenomeon, he had been blown away and now had so many questions. Like I said befor I gave my reasons but the questions just keep comming. I deffently feel I did my job as a mentalist as I stated above, he walked away with a different view on things, Just wish I didn't spend over an hour with him. Any hints would be apprecieated, thanks, Daren

I've had that same thing happen. A few times he had been hard-core scientists who now had their worlds destroyed. I remember one scientist's wife coming up to me and saying, "You've got to tell him. He's not going to sleep. He's disturbed by this."
In most of those situations I tried to ease their worries by saying that everything they saw was not psychic and that I had used a lot of techniques to fool their minds. A few were happy with that, but some still needed to know or it would wreck them. Unfortunately I had to leave it at that and let them worry about it. I did try over and over in those cases to restate that it was all entertainment and nothing was mystical about what I did. Greg
