Mentalist
Vinny De Ponto is giving a mind-blowing virtual performance sponsored by the
Bristol Riverside Theatre. He speaks of his show, Mental Amusements, as a carnival,
and it is certainly a carnival for the mind. The combination of psychological
tricks and illusion must be seen to be believed. Vinny asks someone in the “front
row” to think of a zodiac sign and concentrate on it while he writes
it down. He then shows it to the participant after she names the sign and it is
the same. This is only one of many ways in which he interacts with his audience.
He also asks everyone, including people in general admission seats, to make a pendulum
with dental floss and a ring. The things that he could make the pendulum do
remotely are fascinating. There are two
ways to enjoy this amazing production. If you want to be part of the show and
interact with Vinny, purchase a $50 ticket. If you want to just sit back and be
amazed and even follow along with some “tricks “ on your own, purchase a
general admission ticket for $35. Due to popular demand, the show has been extended to November 6. While you might hesitate and think twice before
purchasing tickets at this price for a virtual show, I can guarantee that it is worth it!
