The Man Behind The Mind Reader w/ Banachek
I had a great chat with the world's greatest mind reader.
Banachek has been named the world’s greatest mind reader. He dazzles audiences all around the world with his incredible mentalism, which is a subranch of magic that combines psychology and magic. In this conversation we learn more about the man behind the mind reader though, discussing his challenging early childhood, his criticism of self-described psychics, his partnership with the skeptical magician James Randi called Project Alpha, and his successful attempts to fool professional paranormal psychologists. Banachek is a really interesting guy, and one of my favorite mentalists alive today. I hope this episode gives you a greater glimpse into his own psychology, and may even increase your own interest in the exciting field of mentalism!
