Honor Flight you can help out the cause
and have family fun as well we've got Curtis
The Mentalist
here to explain an upcoming fundraiser
now Curtis you're a Kansas Honor Flight volunteer
Yes
And you're gonna be performing at this pumpkin
patch coming up on Saturday.
But we're gonna get to see a peek.
Right, right, this is just a sneak peek at
some of the stuff that I do.
Most people don't even know what a mentalist
is.
Well it's kinda like a mind reader, kinda
like a magician, kind of combined you know.
So I'm gonna have some fun doing a little
bit of a demonstration.
Most of my shows I let people know that what
I'm doing is not supernatural in any way.
This stuff is a learned skill.
And I've been doing this about 30 years so
I think I've developed it a little bit pretty
good.
But I'm gonna test your abilities is what
I'm gonna do.
This isn't about me, I'm gonna see if Greg
Have you two been working together for very
long?
This show's been a couple of weeks now.
Three weeks.
But we sat next to each other in the office.
So it's been a while, you've been interacting
for a while.
Sure.
I'm gonna test to see how well you can read
her thoughts.
And we are gonna have these magazines help
us do that.
I just grabbed a couple of old magazines.
Pick one of them and I'll take the other one.
Time magazine and Popular Science.
What we're gonna do is we are gonna find a
word in here.
Greg just say stop as I go through here.
Stop.
Okay.
43.
Check for page 43.
44.
And in fact why don't we just use yours?
Kind of make it go a little bit faster.
What I want you to do, I don't want to see
the page or don't let Greg see it.
Try 43 or 44 Alyson it's totally your choice.
One page or the other.
Okay.
Okay.
You got a page?
Mmm hmm.
I want you to look at the page.
I want you to find a word on that page.
Anywhere on that page, but don't just make
it a word like "the" or "from" or something,
make it like a bigger word.
Especially something you can actually picture
an image of in your mind, okay?
I got it.
You found a word in there.
Okay.
Close up the magazine.
Cause what you're gonna do is I want you to
concentrate on this thought, this picture
that's in your mind and I want you to send
it to Greg.
And Greg, kinda clear your thoughts for a
moment.
And then just the first thing that comes into
your mind, now don't say anything don't give
it away, but what is the first thing that
comes to mind?
Let's see if you get it correct.
Automobile.
Automobile?
Do I say if he's right?
Yeah, is it right?
Don't tell him what it is?
Is he even close?
I'm not even close?
Help him out a little bit, like give him the
first letter or something.
C
So don't say CAR because automobile...
No
See it could be anything.
Let me see if I can help him a little bit.
What I can do...
Alyson
There's not a lot up here to go with.
I'm thinking I'm getting a connection here.
I'm getting something that's kind of like
a I'm picture a party of some kind, does that
make sense?
Party...um...clown!
Think of something that if someone is having
a birthday what do they do?
Cake?
Candles?
Starts with a C...
I know we feel like we're on a game show here.
I know right!
There's a song in the 80's by Kool and the
Gang...
Nooooo!
What do they say?
It's times.... what do they say to do?
You know Jennifer our producer if you know
it you can just cheat and tell me!
Okay I'm guessing she's thinking of a celebration
of some sort.
Ohhhh!
My God, that's it!!
That was it!!!
Like I said there's not much to work with.
I just picked a random word!
If we've got a little more time I can take
it a step further and give you another chance.
Curtis we've got about 20 seconds, maaan!
Oh my gosh.
So tell us about this event.
Now, you've blown our minds, what do we get
to see more of things like this on Saturday

there's also going to be some bands like Mad
Mitch and the Availables, Crazy Heart, and
these are bands that played 25-30 years ago
