Reading minds at Astrazeneca

On a cold frosty evening of January 2016 I was invited along to entertain employees and retirees of AstraZeneca, a big employer in the Macclesfield and Prestbury area, with my mind reading and hypnotic skills.

The ClubAZ annual meal was held in a quaint little restaurant in the Prestbury Village, about 40 minutes outside of Manchester, The Bacchus Restaurant. They also have a sister restaurant in Alrtincham, a little closer for Manchester visitors.

I was a surprise for the guests dining this evening and they were lovely and warming as I made my way around their tables as they were seated for their evening meal. With many a gasp and cheer from those I was performing for many of the tables couldn’t help but look over in excited anticipation of what I had in store.

It’s always interesting performing as a mind reader or hypnotist for a scientific crowd as there are always a lot of skeptics to the type of psychology and suggestion I use in performance. However, I shared a lot of common ground with many of the guests as I formerly trained and graduated as a doctor of medicine. This, as well as the demonstrations, lead to some interesting discussions about ‘how I do what I do’ and also a few debates regarding the current climate of the medical contracts and strikes.

After a lovely evening performing close-up for all the guests, a few mentioned I should also work in the NHS as a GP to speed up service as I could diagnose patients with my mind reading before they’d even said their symptoms, much to my amusement. You never know what the future holds.
