Performing Corporate Shows at Old Trafford, Manchester
Looking back now, the corporate events that probably shaped me most as a performer weren’t necessarily the biggest or most prestigious.
Many of them happened through a series of corporate events held at Old Trafford in Manchester roughly a decade ago whilst working regularly as a corporate entertainer in Manchester. The events were organised by a travel industry company called TIPTO, and over the course of around eighteen months I found myself regularly travelling around the UK performing at their “Super Shows” alongside comedian and compère Jed Stone.
Man vs Machine: When Mentalism Met MRI Technology
For years, documentaries and newspaper headlines have claimed that advances in brain imaging technology could one day allow scientists to read human thoughts.
In 2014, I was invited to take part in a live public experiment exploring exactly that idea.
The project, titled Man vs Machine, brought together mentalism, neuroscience and MRI technology as part of Sheffield’s Festival of the Mind - a major cultural event organised by the University of Sheffield celebrating the relationship between science, creativity and human thought.
