I've heard he is the first full time Mentalist to put together such a production. What's the skinny on this Mick?

I have never seen Mick's show, but I can say that Mick is a nice guy to meet and talk to. Besides that, I got nothing.

Slim,
Your ability to keep your ear to the ground never fails to impress me. Thanks for bringing this up! A little more than a week ago, I proposed and sold The Walt Disney Company on the concept of offering a steady hour-long Mentalism performance here at their Hilton Head Island vacation resort. The show producers are excited about this act and feel it will be fun and mystifying for all the guests (no matter what their age). The Disney folks tell me this Mentalism show will be the first and only one of its kind offered on any Disney property worldwide. I have performed Mentalism acts before at this resort (ie. see my "Hoodwinkings" and "Predict-Abilities" books) but those were acts I applied to a scheduled magic show slot simply because I had the freedom to make internal changes as long as the guests were entertained. (For the record, I'm now in my eighth consecutive performing year with Disney.) The difference here is that this show will be specifically promoted to the worldwide guests as a Mentalism experience. My scripting goal is to loosely tie Mentalism to the local Gullah-voodoo beliefs that permeate the sea-islands of South Carolina...but do it in a Disney-way. Disney just bumped up the deadline on this, too. They have made it clear they would like to have my new show ready to go by the end of April 2008. Hope this answers the question, Slim. Some day you and I are going to have to get together and break bread. Best, Mick Ayres

Thank you for the kind, encourage word gentlemen!
By way of explanation, I am diligently plugging away at completing Book Three in the Act-series. It has taken longer than expected to finish the project this time. In addition to my performance career, I became a full-time single father to both of my girls a bit more than a year ago. So, between my daughters and Disney, there isn't a whole lot of extra time. No complaints, though! I wouldn't trade my life for anything. Hang in there...and thanks again for the support! Best, Mick

For those of you who are remotely interested in this...the show producers at Disney have just informed me that the new Mentalism Show will be included on the resort's performance-calendar during the last week in April.
I've got it fully scripted and am rehearsing daily. Best, Mick

Disney's new show, "The Mental World of B'lou" premiered today and it went beautifully! The performance hall was full, the audience was warm, each experiment went off without a hitch and everyone laughed and applauded right where I hoped. To top it off, the guests gave me a standing ovation! This has been a seriously terrific day for me.
Now that this initial show is behind me, I don't know what I was so nervous about. Thank you ALL for the warm wishes... Best, Mick

Mick's new groundbreaking show oficially launched today!
Here's something that will have you floating a foot off of the ground for a few minutes: I have the following news "on good authority": The first ever all mentalism show commissioned by Disney was met this afternoon by a Standing Ovation! Excellent news for an artist who deserves it. Mick blazes the trail for the rest of us. Very very cool. DT3 |
