Nat_lawson Regular user 106 Posts	Posted: Jan 18, 2017 10:25 pm 0 Hello Magic Café, My name is Nat Lawson and I am a young professional mentalist and hypnotist. I recently turned seventeen but have now performed professionally in four countries and two languages. I typically use a more psychological approach to mentalism and love diving deeply into pseudo-explanations for what I am doing. I live in Rockport Maine, but am currently living in Corrientes, Argentina and polishing a few of my shows up in Spanish (actually I am in Uruguay right now, but that isn't important). My website is www.natlawson.com if you want to know more. Right now my original material is not worth sharing but I hope to make my own mark in mentalism in a couple of years. Yesterday, I figured that I have been reading the Magic Café for long enough and that it was time to get an account and contribute a little bit. -Nat

Nat_lawson Regular user 106 Posts	Posted: Jan 19, 2017 12:33 am 0 Hi SilasJude, Thanks for the welcome and the complement on the website. I coded it myself so most of the graphics are original, and the design is 100% mine. I was lucky enough to have some amazine photographers for friends when I was in high school and they took a lot of beautiful photos and videos for relatively cheap which helped with my online presence more than anything (I also made them both websites for free). As for the quick progress, I have been doing this professionally three years and as a hobby for more than half of my life so it's not overnight. I work hard at it, study, think until my head is spinning in 100 directions at once and then I realize I've been up all night and I need to eat something, then I work some more. I think the only way to make any kind of progress is hard work, and hard work is a lot easier when you love what you are working on. I love mentalism, and so I work hard at it, and make progress, simple as that.

I would highly encourage you to start creating content for Instagram & Snapchat. Use those audiences to build your platform now. 2 or 3 years from now will be too late because there's going to be too much noise. Message me anytime. You can get me on FB/Twitter/Insta & Snap at @meetrobertsmith. -Robert
Nat_lawson Regular user 106 Posts	Posted: Jan 21, 2017 04:56 pm 0 Thank you RobertSmith, I have seriously thought about Snapchat and Instagram but I honestly cannot think of what kind of content I could put on them, with the time restrictions. Do you have any advice on what kind of stuff to put up?

Do you have any advice on what kind of stuff to put up? When you're producing short, time constricted videos for Instagram, think David Blaine. Quick cuts. Get to the point. Remember they're watching on the run. Think reaction shots. Remember to tell your story through this medium. Consider the "Mac vs. PC" commercials. They were 30-60 second spots that told a story quickly and precisely. -Robert

Mary Mowder Inner circle Sacramento / Elk Grove, CA 3662 Posts	Posted: Jan 21, 2017 06:19 pm 0 Welcome Nat_lawson, I'm envious of your website. I'm interested in Mentalism but have not "gone for it". Sort of like the old joke about the Ventriloquist who tries to become a Spiritualist. I haven't given up thinking like a Magician. That must have been a strange transition for you as well. I look forward to your posts in "Penny for your thoughts". -Mary Mowder Elk Grove Magician Magician in Sacramento
Nat_lawson Regular user 106 Posts	Posted: Jan 21, 2017 07:01 pm 0 Thank you Mary, The transition into mentalism took me one show, which for one year, as I make a new show from scratch every year. I think that I have found where I belong with mentalism and hypnosis. It's definitely not for everyone but it can be incredibly powerful and I personally love it. For me the transition was actually pretty smooth, I think because I do better with mentalism than magic, it feels much more natural to me.
