Have you ever been on a date and wondered what colour your date’s underwear is? Well a night in the company with Luke Jermay, the master mind reader, could help you get to the end of that. At the start of Luke Jermay’s one man show he asks us how many people in the audience believe that a mind can be read. For anyone that held their hand up as a non-believer, in Jermay’s words, he is going to "F*ck you up!"
Luke Jermay's show lasts for around an hour and a half and you will believe more and more that he can read minds. How he does it is a mystery but he amazes his audience by showing off his skills; showing them what he believes they are thinking and holding in their mind.
Eight members of the audience are picked at random by having markers placed on their seats. They are asked to think of memories from childhood, their first girlfriend, or read a sentence in a book. Luke then concentrates and holds hands with the person before working out what it is they are thinking of. The process - and it is a process - is not always quick and can take a few minutes, but it is amazing.
One lady was asked to read a part of a book, put it down and then without asking questions Luke starts drawing. Images of a fish, and a man related to a chapter she read that involved a fisherman.
Another lady read a chapter about murder. He immediately picked up on something dark.
In a few minutes Luke was able to describe what happened to everyone. Luke even picked up on a lady who kept changing her mind, which he said, “makes it impossible for me”.
Another example of Luke’s impressive mind reading skill includes knowing the numbers people were keeping in their head, such as someone’s bank account number and pin!
With the audience he played a lot of games, not only picking on one girl and correctly stating that she was wearing black and purple underwear... to be fair all the men in the audience were trying to guess this one!
He also read a story from a person’s head about them getting drunk, naked and making snowangels, but being worried when some girls came along.
Overall Luke will leave you spellbound and amazed at his unique talent. Not for nothing is he known as the Real Mentalist. The show is engrossing as you find yourself wanting to test him. It seems amazing that someone can know what is going on in your head but he seems to. At the end of the day you have to believe it is true.
A night with Luke will entertain, enchant and amaze you, well recommended.
