As a beginner mentalist you get fascinated by viral mentalism acts like unlocking stranger’s phone or figuring out the name of first love, first crush of a stranger. Well these are definitely great acts to be a part of mentalism show but these acts or similar acts do not make a good mentalism show. A good mentalism show consists of much more than few selected popular acts.
The fact is, any established professional mentalist will not publish his best mentalism acts online. They keep their content protected and exclusive for live audience. These acts are much more mysterious and miraculous than what you see on YouTube or similar platforms. I performed and seen several mentalism shows and following things were common in all good mentalism shows that I found.
– Mentalism show should not just contain mind reading acts, it should contain variety of other acts like predictions, telekinesis, hypnosis, mind control acts, stunts etc
– A good mentalism show must contain acts which involves more than one volunteer per act. Its good to read one mind, but when you read multiple minds at once it is something special.
– Each mentalism act should be presented with an impactful story and unique presentation
– A good mentalist will create his own unique character, he will not copy and perform other mentalist’s act as it is.
– A good mentalist will create and invent new methods to perform mentalism acts. He ensures no one in the audience knows his secrets completely.
– In a good mentalism show audience gasp more in shock than they applaud. Mentalism acts should create that awe factor for the viewers.
– Mentalist certain comes out as a hero at the end of a show, but audience feels equally inspired and confident that they have seen true miracles.
