Any info on this gentleman?

He's a charming young guy from Canada who worships Kreskin and is now a popular Mentalist himself.

What more would you like to know?

Yes, Mr Pacific is as Magicfish says, is a popular and well known Mentalist around the Toronto area. He has a style of his own which I like, a very pleasing personality.
Paul is a better Mentalist than Darren Brown. If you get a chance to see Paul's performance you will know what I mean. He's the absolute showman.He could be a big international star if he wanted it bad enough.
Mr Macfish is also a great Mentalist around the Toronto area. A different style from Paul's, nevertheless, he's one clever performer.I had the pleasure of seeing some of his work at many coffee shops meetings---I was always blown away.A lot of Macfish effects are his own creations. He copies no one.

My names Derren, actually, or Mesa, as the guys here like to call me

Well, Paul is a very engaging performer, but I think Richard's comments are slightly hyperbolic.

Very few are in the same league as Derren Brown.

I would place Paul more in the Kreskin class, which I'm sure would make him happy.

Ah yes... to see Paul perform is to see a mentalist gentleman. He is articulate and strong. He's at the top of his game! I've had the pleasure to watch his career unfold over many years and I must say that he's never been better.

We're fortunate that from time to time he performs at Friday Night Magic in Toronto. In fact, he filled in for me a week ago when I was off getting married in Florida!

I look forward to seeing his act evolve from the shadow of the Amazing Kreskin and truly find his own path.

I'm a fan!

Cheers,

James

So Entity...Let me get this straight....You feel that it's easier to be in Kreskins class than Derren Browns? What? Let's see how many years Derren stays around. I wouldn't put even Derren in Kreskins class. Not yet.
Please correct me if I'm a bit confused.

They're two very different types and styles of performers.

Paul's style is much more like Kreskin's which is no surprise, since Paul became interested in Mentalism because of watching Kreskin.

I've spoken with Richard. Apparently he had become confused, thinking that I was MagicFish or Macfish. I am the one that he claims fools him with my own creations.

Neither of us knows who MagicFish is.

We both agree that Paul Pacific does a great job.

Richard, by the way, is the #1 Children's Magician in Canada. Quite brilliant in his own right, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of Mentalism, which has been a life-long interest of his.

Any ideas when Paul will be performing next in Toronto? If so, do you have the details?

Paul's performances are generally for corporate audiences, although he does sometimes perform at the Resorts North of Toronto in the summer months.

He has his own peculiar marketing strategy, which somehow involves contemplation of onions. Don't ask me, it's his idea.

My mistake on my posting---The great Toronto mentalist is no other than (Entity)
and not (Macfish).
Richard.

Thank you, entity, for all your kind comments. (And to you, Richard and James too)

Some sleight of foot. Posting it here so I know where it is in future.
