Taking your mind on a roller coaster ride

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

When we asked people from last night’s show to describe our show, it is not easy to do. One lady summed it up best. She said “Your brain is continuously asking itself “What just happened?”, but you are laughing at the same time. It does make your brain spin, but in a good way.”

One minute you are laughing, the next stunned. It is a roller coaster ride for the mind.

Christian & I try designed our show to connect with people on an emotional level using social interaction, impossible effects, banter, and humor. We love entertaining and our goal is to make it fun and enjoyable for everyone.

Christian & Katalina Engage the Audience

Friday, January 15th, 2010

We love to see people engaged in our show. Pictures are fantastic at showing the variety of emotions that people have while watching or participating in our show. The stuff that we do is impossible and affects people in all kinds of ways. We see looks of incredulity, joy, and fear.

Here are some great examples from last night’s show:

We enjoyed meeting Sig, Sherri and Jim who all participated in the show.

The theme was a 1920’s roaring speak easy. That’s why Tina and Sig are both wearing boas!
The room looked fabulous. Speakers & Events-R-Us provided the ambiance and you can find them online at www.speakersandeventsrus.com

Great Showmanship

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

We finished our show last night and an audience member, Sam, came up to us and said “Your show is good. I really like all the things you did, but I love your showmanship the best. You are true entertainers”.

Now that is the highest compliment.

Great Labor Day with Friends we haven’t seen in 10 years.

It is always nice to re-connect with old friends. We had a great time visiting Chico & Dela who now live in NY. It is nice to keep in touch via email, but it is so much better in person. Chico & Dela are two of the most kind, generous people we know. They are also very active in the American Legion.

We draw a crowd wherever we go!

Christian is wonderful at drawing a crowd. The above picture is prior to a show. People love mind reading and illusions!

Below picture is just after a show. We had already done 2 encores and they still wanted more so we taught them something special to try with friends and family.

Kids understand Mind Tripping Show

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Christian signing autographs for some of his fans…kids!

This is something that we did not expect. Although our show is totally clean, it requires thinking so we did not think that 7 and 8 years old would get it. But they surprised us. When we asked an 8 year old girl what she thought Mind Tripping was about, she said “You guys are the mind trickers”. The fact that she understood so simply is wonderful.

We always strive to create exceptional entertainment for our clients and believe that we are “Ambassadors of Wow”. Here is a short video explaining our philosophy of wow.


Special performances this summer

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

We are very thankful that we were asked to perform at two very special events:

The first one was a show at One Step At a Time camp for children with cancer. Adam saw our show and after the show we enjoy talking with our guests. He mentioned that he was volunteering at the camp a mile from where we were. We told him we’d love to perform for the kids. He jumped on this and we set up a show for the next day because this was the last day of the camp. When an opportunity to do something great drops into your hands, you have to take advantage of it right away! We entertained 13-16 year olds and had a fabulous time. We performed the Mind Tripping show which was perfect because many children were a part of the show. They enjoyed watching their friends have fun on stage. Please take a look at their website http://onestepcamp.org for more information on how to support this great organization.

The second event was that we helped a couple become engaged. Frank saw information about our show and contacted us to help him do something special when he proposed to his girlfriend. We were out in the gazebo with flowers and champagne so the setting was beautiful. We performed unique “couple” effects that assisted Frank by providing a smooth segue to the proposal to his girlfriend Ashley. It as very special.

Participating in something so intimate as a wedding proposal and so worthwhile as a a great cause, One Step Camp, was wonderful and something we will not forget.
