with Gilan Gork

Most people have only heard about things like bending metal with the mind, and have never had first hand experience of mind reading  and the power of thought control.

Gilan Gork demonstrates these abilities in an entertaining and mind blowing way, as he bends metal with his mind, reads thoughts and even predicts events before they happen. He inspires his audience to recognise the real potential within us all.  Viewers were riveted when he appeared on SABC’s 3Talk and won over three sceptics. Some viewers even called in to say old broken clocks and watches were working again!

“I am not a psychic. My skills are a result of specific training.  I believe that anyone can learn to do what I do.” says Gilan. “My passion is in enhancing your experience. To pull you into the mind, where everything is possible, and then back into reality with inspired perspectives about yourself.”

Gilan entertains and empowers, amplifying the power of the mind and extending human potential. His suave charisma, combined with performance skill and powerful presentation elevates the art of Mentalism to new levels.

“I believe that you will get from the world what you expect to get. I believe in your dreams. Nothing is impossible." says Gilan.

Have you ever wondered if you really could control the world around you? In real time, before your own eyes? You will believe anything is possible after an hour with this entertaining Mentalist.

Gilan’s performance is interactive, involving audience members.

Corporate options: 1 hour show or part show/part table to table entertainment.
Gilan also offers corporate workshops: “Reading People and Emotions”, “Relationship Management” and “How to win at Sales!”

Q&A about Mentalism

• What is Mentalism?
  Most people have heard the term “Mentalist” from the recent TV Series with the same name, but they do not understand the term  and have never seen true Mentalism in action. Mentalism is the art of mindreading, predicting events before they occur, bending metal with the mind, influencing individual actions and many other feats of the mind.
• What is the difference between Mentalism and magic?
  People get confused between Mentalism and Magic – they are very different. David Copperfield is a magician. Uri Geller is a mentalist.
• Does a Mentalist possess psychic powers?
  Seeing a Mentalist at work, it’s not hard to believe that they have psychic powers. Over the centuries, various Mentalists have demonstrated mentalism for scientists and researchers. After the scientists confirmed the existence of psychic powers as a result of these tests, the Mentalists exposed the fact that psychic power was not an accurate explanation for their amazing feats.
• How does Mentalism all work?
  Mentalism is a learned skill which includes many different theories and techniques. These techniques can be enhanced by natural abilities such as being a comfortable observer of people. Just as knowing the tune to a hit song doesn’t make you a professional singer, so knowing the theories of Mentalism does not enable you to perform it.
• What is the relationship between Mentalism and psychology?
  Many people attribute psychology as the sole workings of Mentalism, but the Mentalist draws on many different techniques. Psychology is the glue that holds it all together but since many techniques are not apparent to the average viewer, they only recognize the psychological aspects.
• Does Mentalism ever go wrong?
  Since Mentalism relies also on the participation of others, you never know exactly how it will turn out, and sometimes it can turn out horribly wrong. Sometimes we give dangerous demonstrations and there are many videos that have circulated of these demonstrations going wrong and Mentalists being seriously injured.
• Can anybody become a Mentalist or do you need different mental skills
  Anyone can learn the basics of people skills and it follows, therefore, that anyone can  become a Mentalist, to some degree. However, learning the basics does not necessarily mean you will be able to successfully demonstrate Mentalism without years of practice.
• How can someone become a Mentalist?
  A good place to start learning Mentalism is through some recommended reading.
• What is the demand for Mentalism? Does a Mentalist do shows and can someone make a living as a Mentalist?
  Apart from the Entertainment value, there is a vast demand for Mentalism, primarily in the corporate world. Mentalists can make a living by performing shows or being an entertaining MC for events to giving inspiring talks and demonstrations to business executives on topics like human potential and working with people.
• Can Mentalism be used to make me thin/stop smoking/sleep better/etc?
  Mentalism is primarily used to entertain people or to inspire and grow the mind. Mentalism should not be used in a clinical sense as it cannot offer a sustainable cure and in the wrong hands it can cause more harm than good.
