Doug Segal – I Can Make You A Mentalist

From the off Doug Segal denies the existence of psychics, mind readers and clairvoyants. He then spends the following hour, along a very loose narrative, entertaining us greatly with a combination of showmanship, tongue-in-cheek hokum and various props and pre-filmed sketches all designed to leave us questioning his assertion. With this much tightly choreographed tech he then adds the extra random element of having a member of the audience on stage with him and integral to the show for much of it. Props to him. The premise is that by the end this random person will also be a ‘mentalist’. Segal throws his all into the entertainment, with the ‘skins’ of the tricks his stars – elaborate and highly enjoyable. An immensely likeable and mindbending show.
