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.
This is for you!
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!
If you haven’t got a clue what I’m going on about,
don’t worry neither do I.
Just think of this blog as your attic
or a secret underground tunnel
I created this place for performers of the psyche, illusionists of identity
and witches of suggestion.
Sounds like I’m having a mid life crisis!
I probably am… But who cares?
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!
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!
This is for the secret creators
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.
This blog is a cauldron.
Let’s stir it together.
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.
Is it fear? Could it be perfectionism? Or perhaps you sense that the world doesn’t need another mentalist?
Here’s the thing: Maybe the world doesn’t need another mentalist?
Maybe it needs you!
Your version… Your voice…
Your strange, poetic, haunted
or hilarious take on mind reading.
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.
If you’re reading this with that familiar feeling in your stomach, the one that feels like a mixture of terror and purpose…
Then welcome.
You’re already part of the tribe!
Here’s what you can expect:
Mentalism reviews that are a bit bonkers.
Interviews with creators of the brilliant and bizarre.
Rituals and mind resets to keep your powers sharp.
Fables, myths and Oddsocks
because I take my weirdness seriously!
You’ll also find a growing digital library of ideas, performance scripts, psychic tools
and philosophical detours.
I’m trying to create a community for creators and weirdos
just like you and me.
One last thing:
This is your home now weird one, let’s bend some minds.
Let’s leave trails of smoke and wonder.
Let’s turn mentalism from a craft into a calling.
Now go read a post.

Stay weird and wander freely!
