You've found your lighthouse in the fog!

Welcome to the Cult.

We Have Sigils and everything!

If you’re reading this, chances are

you’ve always felt a little strange.

Not like “abducted by aliens” strange or a lifetime member of the tinfoil hat club.

There’s nothing wrong with those of course.

I just mean your flavour of weird is a bit different to most.

Filigree design

This is for you!

Spacer

This blog, this realm that I’ve carved from smoke and the pixelated hiccups of a glitching oracle.

It isn’t a review blog for the masses.

This is your initiation into another way of thinking:

Mentalism as transformation. Performance as poetry

and mind reading as mythology!

Spacer

If you haven’t got a clue what I’m going on about,

don’t worry neither do I.

Spacer

Just think of this blog as your attic

or a secret underground tunnel

Spacer

Underground Tunnel

Spacer

I created this place for performers of the psyche, illusionists of identity

and witches of suggestion.

Spacer

Sounds like I’m having a mid life crisis!

Spacer

I probably am… But who cares?

Spacer

This is for the mind twisters and thought thieves.

Those of you that don’t just want to know how to force a card,

you want to know why the force works and why the spectator feels a chill when you say the word Oddsock!

Spacer

You’ve read the 13 Steps

and now you’re searching for a 14th!

You’re not just here to perform, you’re here to shift people.

You don’t want your mentalism to fool them…

It’s meant to haunt them!

Filigree design

This is for the secret creators

Spacer

You’ve got notebooks full of strange ideas and tricks,

you’ve created routines that no one has seen because you’re still not sure the world’s ready for them and that’s fine.

 

  This is a sacred space where ideas bubble, break and reform into something powerful.

Spacer

A cauldron with fire coming out of it

This blog is a cauldron.

Spacer

Let’s stir it together.

Filigree design

This is for the ones who haven’t performed yet

but know they must.

You’ve read everything, practiced quietly and built routines in your head for years.

But something’s been holding you back.

Spacer

Is it fear? Could it be perfectionism? Or perhaps you sense that the world doesn’t need another mentalist?

Spacer

Here’s the thing: Maybe the world doesn’t need another mentalist?

Spacer

Maybe it needs you!

Spacer

Your version… Your voice…

Your strange, poetic, haunted

or hilarious take on mind reading.

Spacer

You don’t have to be slick. You don’t have to be polished.

You don’t even need to be covered head to feet in tattoos…

You just have to be true.

Spacer

If you’re reading this with that familiar feeling in your stomach, the one that feels like a mixture of terror and purpose…

Spacer

Then welcome.

Spacer

You’re already part of the tribe!

Filigree design

 

Here’s what you can expect:

Spacer

Mentalism reviews that are a bit bonkers.

Interviews with creators of the brilliant and bizarre.

Spacer

Rituals and mind resets to keep your powers sharp.

Fables, myths and Oddsocks

because I take my weirdness seriously!

Spacer

You’ll also find a growing digital library of ideas, performance scripts, psychic tools

and philosophical detours.

Spacer

I’m trying to create a community for creators and weirdos

just like you and me.

Filigree design

One last thing:

Spacer

Spacer
