FRANCE SHOWS

Theater in Lyon is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the region. In our theater, several plays are presented ranging from the most classic to the most modern. This includes comedy, comedy shows, magic, mentalism, etc. Indeed, Laurette theater is the only one to offer a one-man show of mentalists. 

What is mentalism?


Mentalism is an art which consists of reading the minds of spectators during a show. These can be present, past or future thoughts. It's a show where laughter, emotions and surprises await you. 


Thanks to their know-how, mentalists modify the spectators' perception of reality. To do this, they apply different techniques such as suggestion, psychology, illusions, tricks, NLP, hot reading, cold reading, etc. 


Techniques used by mentalists

The objective of mentalist shows at the theater in Lyon is to carry out paranormal phenomena such as predictions. Indeed, they are capable of predicting the future, guessing a word, a first name, etc. They are also capable of recreating other phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, intuition, synchronicity, precognition, hypnosis, mental arithmetic, ultra memory, telekinesis, etc.


Telepathy is one of the best known techniques in mentalism through which the mentalist transmits precise information to a spectator via advice, suggestibility and persuasion techniques. Through their shows at the theater in Lyon, mentalists can show you their ability to do calculations with phenomenal speed based on specific know-how. Telekinesis involves moving objects over a distance using only the power of thought.


The success of mentalism shows at the theater in Lyon 


Mentalism shows at the theater in Lyon are very successful due to the ability of mentalists to touch the intimacy of the spectators by revealing very personal information such as a date of birth, a ticket serial number borrowed randomly from among the members of the public, etc. 


In your theater in Lyon, the Laurette Théâtre, you will also have the opportunity to attend a modern mentalism show involving the spectators. Mentalists sometimes question spectators. As was said above, it is neither magic nor supernatural phenomena. The techniques used by mentalists in the theater in Lyon only disturb the minds in order to surprise and entertain them. 


What does the one-man show of mentalists at the theater in Lyon consist of? 


During the mentalists' one-man show at the theater in Lyon, two crazy mentalists are invited to compete in front of the spectators to host the show. This one-man show of mentalists is an interactive show where spectators choose the winner.


Through the one man show, mentalists perform their performances in turn. Their main mission is to entertain the public by doing the surprising things mentioned above. The winning mentalist will put his title back on the line for the next mentalist one-man show by facing a new competitor. 


It's the kind of show where young and old alike won't be likely to get bored. It lasts approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The author of the show is Patrick Gadais. The director is Laurent Bariohay. You can make the reservation online or by phone.
