Performing Corporate Shows at Old Trafford, Manchester
There are certain periods in your career that quietly shape the performer you eventually become.
For me, one of those periods came through a series of corporate events held at Old Trafford in Manchester roughly a decade ago. 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.
