Overview
Paranormal is a mind reading and mentalism show performed by Frederic Da Silva, who has been named Best Mentalist in Las Vegas multiple times. The show takes place in an intimate theater setting that makes the impossible feel personal.
Da Silva combines psychology, suggestion, and showmanship to seemingly read audience members' thoughts, predict their choices, and reveal information he could not possibly know. The show is heavily interactive, with volunteers from the audience participating in nearly every segment.
Unlike traditional magic shows with big props and illusions, Paranormal relies on the power of the human mind. It is cerebral, surprising, and genuinely unsettling in the best possible way.
