Boring methods, boring presentations, boring performances… If you want to know how NOT to present mentalism on stage, then you really need this DVD.

Let me tell you why I think this DVD set is boring, we live on en era where mentalism must be dynamic and if you are doing stage or stand up, must be combined with some kind of comedy, if not then you will have BORING MENTALISM. Besides that, the revelation of every effect must be visual and for every member of the audience, if not you are doing a close up effect for just the person is helping you on stage…

This is one of the worst mentalism DVD I have ever bought.

mentalism must be combined with comedy to not be considered boring? says who? you? mentalism must simply be presented well my friend and it must be about the spectators. comedy is for comedians and sloppy jokester magicians. not mentalists. tell peter turner or kenton knepper they are boring because they are not funny.

A great Mentalism performance can have moments of levity. Derren Brown excels at this during his wonderful shows. However, mentalism is not boring if done well as Alberto mentioned. At the end of the day, it is about the spectators and having an engaging performance style. Being a serious mentalist is not going to necessarily entertain an audience if there are large gaps of silence while going through the procedures of a routine. Moments of comedy gives the audience another release point of that pent up energy.
