2014 Edinburgh Fringe

Mentalist, mind-magician or psychological-illusionist - call him what you will, Alex McAleer reads minds. This is contemporary mentalism at its best, combining a sharp wit with 'uncanny powers of prediction' (ThisIsCabaret.com). Alex reveals strangers' secrets, demonstrates why you should never play cards with him and teaches one lucky member of the audience how to read minds. 'Smart, confident, entertaining' (The Magic Circle). 'It's hard to find your own voice in mentalism without sounding like you're trying to copy Derren Brown, but you succeeded splendidly' (Martin S Taylor, hypnotist who inspired Derren Brown).
