Mark Toland amazes us with a series of “mind reading” tricks. He knows the word or number you have in mind, the city you would like to visit and the name of your childhood crush. And he reveals all of this with charm and humour.
Of course, we know that he isn’t reading our minds. We know it’s a trick in which he uses inference, good guesses and manipulation. But none of that detracts from the pleasure of having your secret word revealed. And none of that lessens the “How did he do that?” feeling at the conclusion of every trick.
Toland will surprise and amaze even the skeptical.
Mark Toland: Mind Reader – A Night of Wonder and Mystery
Mark Toland is quick to tell you what his “powers” aren’t — he’s not psychic. Instead, he’s an astute people watcher who has honed his talent and gift to the point where you’re going to enjoy a magical experience each and every night.
Toland asks specifically that people do not share too much of the show, as he wants to preserve the mystery. And it’s a request we’re all too happy to honour, because this is a show that defies description and must be experienced.
Toland is wonderfully self-effacing and conversational. He doesn’t approach his show as a spectacle, but rather embraces the audience and brings them into the conversation. We’re brought in close — but not close enough to be told the secrets — which makes the wonder and mystery all the more impressive. We are part of the show, we know we’re not “plants,” and we’re involved with the trick — but, for the life of us, we can’t understand how it’s done.
I will honour Toland’s request to not say much about what happened during the show, other than to say that there were countless gasps, a few shocked expressions, and more than a few “no f*in way”s.
Toland is at the top of his game and it’s an experience just to watch him play the audience. You won’t regret being a willing participant in Toland’s mind games.
