Chris North: Mentalism Live
The Seagull Theatre, Lowestoft
15th October 2016
Reviewed by Stephen Bolam
I have seen many types of mentalism over the years and to be honest, I have
found
it boring, a bit mundane, lacking of any flair.
So when I was asked to go and see Chris North’s Mentalism Live, I was not sure
what
to expect, but when Chris came out from the outset it was dramatic, throwing
balls of paper into the audience, getting everyone involved and setting the tone
for an
evening of entertainment.
The show moved at a steady pace with plenty of audience participation, it was at
times humorous yet serious, keeping the audience gripped with anticipation at not
knowing what was going to happen next and then a sudden gasp of amazement at
what they had just witnessed.
The show lasted an hour and 45 minutes with an interval of 15 minutes. I never
once
looked at my watch as it held my attention right from the start with some
interesting
twists. I would recommend it to anyone.
