Several recent posts regarding Street Mentalism or Impromptu Mentalism has got me thinking and recognizing recent trends and leads me to my question - What type of performing Mentalist are you - a Stage Performer (theaters, banquets, corporate platform, etc.) or something else?
To me there's really only two performance formats, the stage performer and the others which to me are all similar and I category the same such as strolling, impromptu, street, casual pub/bar, small group or individual readings, etc. I believe there aren't as many stage performers as I'd expect and as used to be here. I know some will say both, but what is your primary or majority type of performances that pays your bills? Just curious. |

I´m only on stage, in the corporate and banquets business. I have a few effects I sometimes do for the pub and impromtu settings, but that is just for fun, never for money.

I tend to do a little bit of everything, stage, parlour and close up.

I'm mainly parlour with some stage as and when.
Although I don't believe in impromptu mentalism at all. Because it isn't

I don't get or see he need for differences between Street, Walk-around, Table-hopping, Parlour or Stage. I have done the same 'item' in all those areas and have and do perform in all those areas. (Not so much actually in the street, but anywhere)
Now there are of course considerations of scale, but I often do the same 'item' at them all. It's the venue booking me who decides on where they want me to perform. Obviously doing an 'item' one on one is not the same as bouncing around a big stage, but the 'Item' is the same. Maybe the use of bigger props on stage can be used but that is only so that people can see it, it doesn't affect how the 'item' works. And of course actions are 'louder' on stage than they are one on one, but I think to be a working 'anything' nowadays, being flexible is the way to go. Yes I do change the act as some things do work better one on one and some other things work far better on a massive stage, but I do like versatile 'items' that work across the board. The venue also dictates what I wear as well. Well not so much dictate as define. So it can be anything from jeans and T-shirt, Jeans and jacket, suit to full Dinner suit. (Hate those!) Putting limits and boundaries on oneself just limits oneself.

I'm a stage performer.
I'm always willing to demonstrate something informally and impromptu close up when the situation calls for it, but for money, I am a stage entertainer.

What Type of Mentalist Performer Are You?
A good one, hopefully. Seriously, onstage or walkaround, I hope I'm good.

Almost exclusively stage work and occasional television. (Though I still do card flourishes in front of my bathroom mirror to amuse myself.)

I prefer stage and parlor work, but also do walk around if needed. But the ability to create a theatrical experience is really what I love. Walk-around tends towards amusement, if you ask me.

Parlor or Stage Only! I might have a couple pocket things for individuals, but my brand of Asperger’s generally puts me out of commission in one on one repartee. I do great with groups, the bigger the better, and I’m learning to “gear down”. But I still need the formality and the effect of mass psychology to maintain my own comfort.
One on one, I’m a boob. Even my wife of many years has learned to wait while the thoughts reassemble themselves into intelligible speech. In social settings, most of what comes out of my mouth was scripted long ago. (I suspect I am not alone! )
...what if I could read your mind?

I have the ability of clairempathy. I don't have quite enough control over my powers to be considered a clairsentient, as the emotions I take on from others can sometimes be really hard for me to leave behind. I'm not answering the question that was asked, but the question I had hoped had been asked, as I find little value in the differentiations stated by others here.
Some people hear voices.. Some see invisible people.. Others have no imagination whatsoever.
