What is a Psychological Mind Reader?
Mark Cairns performs primarily as a psychological entertainer (in other words, what used to be called a mind reader.) Working close up with guests, he puts on a show designed to appeal to sophisticated and intelligent audiences. The key thing that Mark brings is a relaxed sense of fun - the emphasis is not on "fooling" or embarrassing people but, instead, on ensuring that guests have a good time while being left intrigued and astonished by the mind reader's demonstrations.
Mark doesn't claim to be psychic - his skills as a mind reader are based on an exciting combination of learned techniques, his extensive experience in applying them, and on the natural intuition that we all possess to a greater or lesser extent.
Fascinating to Watch
Instead of performing magic 'at' your guests, Mark entertains them in an interactive way. Guests are heavily involved in the mind reading and, as Mark begins to read what they are thinking and influence their actions, the reactions from guests vary from laughter through to complete astonishment. Mark uses many techniques to achieve his effects, which guests can find as fascinating as the results, and these are often the subject of discussion weeks after the performance.
Stimulates Conversation and Breaks the Ice
Performing as a psychological mind reader, Mark appeals to an audience's intelligence, rather than patronising them by making them feel foolish. A less personable mind reader could come across as dry, serious, or even unsettling. But Mark entertains in a reassuringly relaxed, warm and friendly fashion. The focus is on the group of guests themselves, rather than solely on Mark, and this makes Mark's mind reader act an excellent stimulus for conversation and an ideal hospitality ice-breaker.
Flexible and Personalised Entertainment
Of course, psychological mind reader Mark originally trained as a sleight-of-hand magician and can perform more traditional card tricks and coin tricks when appropriate for a particular group of guests. This tends to go down well with more mature audiences or groups of "lads". Here "the hand is quicker than the eye" and the pace is fast and light hearted. Having these complimentary skills means that, where necessary, Mark can blend the two and pitch the tone of the material to match what the spectator is likely to enjoy, making the entertainment flexible and personalised.
