The art of magic and thought reading has intrigued me for over thirty years. It is a completely unlimited art form that is only bound by the limits of individual creativity and imagination. Imagine any vocation where you are only limited by yourself and your imagination. To this day, I still feel like I am watching audience members experience their first Hollywood motion picture . . . except it is happening live!
During my program, I will do everything in my power to allow you to suspend your disbelief and absolutely believe it is really happening. I encourage you to remain innocent, and believe in the mystery and wonder of it all, as long as the journey is for enjoyable entertainment.
After the show, if you ask me directly in person, I will answer you honestly and directly, although I hope you will want to simply remember the joy of the experience. I can say with absolute certainty that I can create the illusion of it.
I cannot say that it is impossible to read someone's mind by supernatural means. I can say that I have never met anyone who claimed they could, who was not using techniques outlined in hundreds of books on magic and mentalism. In my opinion, any mind reading demonstration which is not strictly for enjoyable entertainment should be viewed with a very skeptical eye.

If a demonstration affects you in any way other than enjoyable entertainment, it may be potentially malicious deception with ulterior motives. Anyone, who is not knowledgeable in the magical arts, should not rely exclusively on their own judgment. Magical programs are performed for audiences filled with reasonable people that never discover the truth. Everything I personally demonstrate is fully explainable by scientific or artistic means, including ideas outlined in the magical arts literature.
I have been told there are more books published on magic and mentalism than any other subject in the history of literature with the exception of medicine. I have spent over thirty years, reading, studying, practicing, planning, dreaming, learning, growing, and discovering hundreds of plateaus of thoughts that are found inside those books. I have also had the opportunity to meet some of the most thought-provoking and creative people who have ever contributed to the magical arts. They are my inspiration, my source of creativity, and my friends.
The quote shown above from Ned Rutledge is the one disclaimer that even skeptical observers will agree is reasonable, without completely destroying the mystery of it all. I personally knew Ned Rutledge, before his passing, and honor his memory by crediting his thought-provoking quotation here. It is used with his permission.
