I posted this on an earlier thread but I thought it it worth while starting a new one. No doubt no matter how Colin does tonight, it will become a hotbed of opinions and debate!!
Scottish Mentalist Colin McLeod reads the studio audience's mind! Gazzo performs a classic illusion. Should be good viewing!!

Colin I hope everything goes well for you tonight. I bet you're just brimming with excitement!
I call myself "Thomas Cooper" here because this stops the magic café appearing when people google my stage name.
Does anyone else find the term "Special User" to be a bit condescending? |

I too hope it goes extremely well, otherwise it will be more mentalism exposed.
But if it goes right, will the risk be forgotten? - I say yes! If not totally ignored before, during and after the event. The very existence of the show and mentalists going on it already render mentalism as nothing but a trick to be worked out and busted.

Hard Luck Colin. Good use of the underused. At least P & T didn't go as far as they could have with the expose.

I don't know if I fully agree with you Shrubsole. I was never a fan of DR in the 1st place. I wonder who among the lay people will remember this show after it is finished.I don't think that they would know how it is done, even after our 2 friends gave their explanation. I was surprised though that Colin thought this would fool the 2 of them. If I am brutally honest, I found it a little flat.

In actual fact, the whole show tonight was a complete bore!

And let's hope you are right about audiences not remembering this trick as I paid Mr McLeod £40 of my cash for the DVDs that it is on and would like my investment protected. Such a shame that the Mr McLeod doesn't think the same after taking people's money. Still at least we know that mentalism is just another trick, even if they don't remember the details.

Our Art is much more complex Shrubsole that one effect. I also paid for my DVD and from memory, it was more than 40 quid, because of the P & P charge to my home. As you know, the trick is only a small detail - how we present it is really the lasting memory. Having wrote all that, I will be happy when this show ends though.

Ah. So Colin isn't allowed to perform his own material on tv then? Because we've bought his dvd.
Only we are allowed to perform Colin's material. Not Colin. Unless he comes on here first and clears the routine via the anonymous here in the Café. I think I have it now. Oh. Wait. Don't we also demand video demos tested in the real world. But just not on tv. I suppose. Still never mind. You can still do blank night. Oh. Wait. You can Google alakazam. So. Erm. No releasing anything. No performing anything. Ever.

No wonder no progress is made here as everyone gets belittled and ridiculed if they dare to comment. We are not talking about Colin not being allowed to perform his act, but what we are talking about is doing it on a show that is set out deliberately to expose the tricks. This Colin knew and thought that he doesn't care now that he has people's money or that mentalism would be exposed as a cheap trick. That is the real point. Self-promotion at any cost to everyone else. All quite obvious when all Colin actually does is post cute replies and has avoided this real issue on any and every thread it's been raised. Oh and well done Colin for telling the LAY AUDIENCE that there is a thing called instant stooging that you weren't using. Given more time you could have exposed lots more.

Shrubsole is no different than any other full time Mentalist. i.e. He is merley trying to keep the Art that he performs and most probably earns his only income from, a secret, to be kept away from Mr & Mrs Curious. (Potentially his next Audience)
Why he is attacked with this view point is beyond me! I honestly cannot see the connection between this and "The Green Eyed Monster"?
