This week, Peter and Wayne thought they knew exactly what they were going to talk about… but as always, the conversation had other ideas. What started as one topic quickly spiralled into a fascinating deep dive into the world of mentalism.
What actually is mentalism?How is it different from mental magic?Is a mentalist really a magician or something else entirely?How do audiences truly perceive mind reading, predictions, and psychological illusions?And can mentalism be more than just “a trick”?
Peter and Wayne explore the blurred lines between magic and mind reading, performance vs. perception, and the psychology that makes mentalism so powerful. Whether you're a magician, mentalist, entertainer, or just love the mystery behind performance, this episode is packed with insight, debate, and plenty of laughs along the way.
As always, expect honest opinions, real-world experience, and the kind of behind-the-scenes thinking you won’t hear anywhere else.
If you enjoy conversations about performance, psychology, and the art of astonishment, this one’s for you.
