Your theatre in Lyon presents a one-man show by mentalists!

What is mentalism?

Mentalism is an art that involves reading the thoughts of audience members during a performance. These thoughts can be present, past, or future. It's a show where laughter, emotion, and surprises are guaranteed. 

Thanks to their expertise, mentalists alter spectators' perception of reality. To do this, they apply various techniques such as suggestion, psychology, illusions, tricks, NLP, hot reading, cold reading, etc. 

The techniques used by mentalists

The goal of mentalist shows in Lyon's theaters is to perform paranormal phenomena such as predictions. Indeed, they are able to predict the future, guess a word, a name, etc. They are also capable of recreating other phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, intuition, synchronicity, precognition, hypnosis, mental calculation, exceptional memory, telekinesis, and so on.

Telepathy is one of the best-known techniques in mentalism, through which the mentalist transmits precise information to a spectator via hints, suggestibility techniques, and persuasion. In their shows at the Lyon theater, mentalists can demonstrate their ability to perform calculations with phenomenal speed, relying on specific skills. Telekinesis involves moving objects remotely using only the power of thought.

The success of mentalism shows in Lyon theatres

The techniques used by the mentalists at the Lyon theatre are simply meant to puzzle and intrigue, surprising and entertaining the audience.
