The newest challenge on my plate this month is Mentalism for some very special children. Next Tuesday I'll be performing for a unique group of people .. Children at a very high risk level, and parents and family members struggling with what may be the biggest loss of their lives. They are literally looking eternity straight in the eye! And then something extremely COSMIC happens... I get a package and in it is something totally unexpected.... BLOOD LINES ... Horrible Jokes. One-Liners, and Stories To Haunt Your Mind (Compiled by Tony Iacoviello) Tony Eye!!!! http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/tony-iaco......287.html Mentalism for children is hard enough. Mentalism for these children and their families would be even more difficult. But we are making "Memories" here! Hope, comfort, entertainment, and MEMORIES for all involved. As the Blues Brothers I've been doing these events for over 12 years, but this will be my first time as a Mentalist( I'm sure I'm listed as a magician) This book simply bridged the gap between Spooky mentalism and hokey comedy!!!! Wish me luck and a quick prayer for the kids and their families if you can. Thanks Tony!!!!!!

Thanks Ray!!! It doesn't bother me in the least to put on a Blues Brothers outfit and walk out in front of 40,000 people, but something like this makes me a bit nervous ..Weird. I hope to do it once a month.

You can deceive and entertain them through your magic/mentalism. As for you as a performer... you must be yourself and be genuine or they will see right through you. As I said above, you will do a great job.

I always try to leave the audience with a few serious questions at the end of the show .. Not this time ... I think they have enough questions on their minds ..
IT'S ALL ABOUT FUN THIS TIME!!!!!

Still nervous about this. I need to break in my new PA that day too ... Seems the stage is about 40 feet across .. That's a lot of room. I have about 20 feet of banners.

Thanks for the link to Tony Eyes book 'Blood Lines'. Being primarily a family entertainer at restaurants....and with Halloween approaching...this book is perfect for my purposes. I will be able to share some Halloween humor with my guests. Some of the entries are a bit corny....but hey [even corny can be effective].... there are also some REAL gems. All I need in my arsenal is about six. For 5 bucks it is a steal!
Slim.... I hope your gig was successful...I would bet it was. That certainly is a worthy organization. Rich |

Rich ... It was an education. These kids are great and their families really deserve a good time and this has lot's of potential!!!
There is a learning curve for me on almost anything and this was also in that realm. I did OK but I think the next time will be 100% more focused since I know exactly what to expect Logistically wise... A FANTASTIC GROUP!!!

Slim, I have such an appreciation for this type of work that you do. Keep up the great work! You make all mentalists proud!

I think there are lot's of opportunities to help out. Thanks for the good words. Kids aren't my fortay(sp) but it's worth learning how to entertain them with mental magic and head towards mentalism.
Mike, I'm sure there are places you could jump in ... It's well worth it. Great memories of these children fighting for their lives from all over the world... it's totally beyond worth it. I had an Arabic man and his daughter telepathically sending a spooky movie title (The Wolfman) to a US farmer and his son. I'm not even sure everyone understood English but it worked like a charm and I had all the kids howling like wolves to end the show!!!! :dancing:
