Stand-up magic:
This is a more traditional option where the performer is in front of an audience. It is generally more expensive as it requires additional preparation, setup and breakdown times. It usually consists of a 20 � 30 minute act. Ian's act consists mainly of Mentalism. This of course can be adapted on request.
Psychological Illusion or Mentalism:
This is also known as Mentalism or Mind Reading and is a performing Art in which the performer uses his 5 senses to create the illusion of a 6th.
Few magicians are willing or able to offer this kind on entertainment because it's quite risky for the performer (mind reading is not an exact science!). The ones prepared to take these risks are therefore in great demand. To be able to predict and influence human behaviour requires special skills. A mentalism performance can take place either on stage or at guests' tables. The effect on the audience is quite profound and they'll be talking about it for days after the event.
