Marc Salem returns to London

Marc Salem returns to London for six performances only of his new show “Out of His Mind” at the Shaw theatre 22nd to 27th July 2008.

Here’s what they say:

So you don’t believe in mind readers….? This consummate performer takes audiences on a fascinating journey into the workings of the mind and along the way he shares a few secrets, in his own funny, engaging and irreverent way. As an entertainer Marc has performed around the world, astounding and entertaining millions with his finely honed sense of humour and his baffling performance. A thoroughly engaging performer, Marc’s interactive demonstrations delight and amaze audiences of all ages

Here’s the conclusion of what I said last time after seeing his show at the Tricycle Theatre:

“He finished the act with his oft quoted line: “any ten year old can do what I do - any ten year old with thirty years of practice”, and this sums up his act. Yes, it’s old fashioned - yes anyone with an interest in magic knows how it’s done, but he is great at what he does and let’s face it: there aren’t many opportunities to see good mentalist acts on stage these days.”

Corinda 13 Steps To Mentalism

The classic book on mentalism at a bargain price.

Essential to all you budding Derren Brown's. [more...]
