Mentalist

Saw a mentalist today;
His name is Derren Brown.
You can’t explain the things he does – 
Your world goes upside down.

He nicely asked the audience
It they would not reveal
Illusions witnessed on the stage
Despite their strong appeal.

So all that I’m allowed to say
Is I enjoyed his show
And if you have a chance to see it,
I’d suggest you go.

Man, I do want to go. I will look him up now. Do you get a finder's fee?

Sorry, dear, I stay clear of mentalists. No humans have that kind of power, and if they do the source, as far as I'm concerned, is not a benign Creator but another and benign at all! / M
