My long term partner is an avid user of this Café. I am seeking advise as I am faced with a life decision, dilema. My partner has always been a good magician, 3 years ago he developed an interest in mentalism. This has transformed his personality, he use to be a great guy who was very interesting, enthusiastic about life, had a great sense of humour and was very popular. Every minute of his time is now dedicated to mentalism, he has no sense of humour, is distant and is loosing all crediblity as a person. We are due to tie the knot this year after a seven year relationship, he is not the person I met and was wondering if you could shed light on this 'mentalism' which seems to have taken a grip of him. He is constantly consumed by it, is this what mentalism does to a person? his only friends now are mentalist as he's lost the ability to communicate any other subject, he spends hours devising gadgets, and performs at the most inapproprate times in public. Even children who use to idolise him for making coins appear out of their ears are loosing respect for him. Will my man ever return to me, or have I lost him for good to this thing called mentalism. Any comment welcome.

Hi Dawn,
Regardless of someone's profession, if they become obsessed with one thing and forsake other parts of their life there may be a problem. It's call balance. What you described can happen to some (meaning it doesn't matter that he's a magician or in another kind of business), not the fact what kind of business he's in. You might want to check out the Mentalism forum at the Café and perhaps chat with others in this field to reassure yourself that it is only meant to be of entertainment value and nothing more. I'm not qualified to give you more info regarding what is happening to your b/f but sounds as if he's becoming too self absorbed and is forgetting about balancing things in his life. I really hope he's willing to listen to you and your concerns. Good Luck and hugs to you Chrystal |
