Ross Johnson LIVE (Penguin Live)

“I am a huge fan of Mentalism and I consider Ross (Johnson) to be one of the most convincing practitioners in this field. I honestly feel he is the most compelling mentalist I have ever seen. I remember being spellbound the first time I watched Ross perform his classic Blindfold Act in a small nightclub. There was an edgy sense of self-irritation in his performance that I found captivating. If he didn’t get it quite right, it seemed to bother him and push him further into uncovering hidden details. He is truly a master of the fascinating world of mind reading.” – Nick Lewin

“Not only is Ross a wonderful friend and confidant; he is also the deliverer of the strongest performance of mystery I’ve ever witnessed.” – Paul Vigil

“Ross Johnson? He’ll make you shit your pants.” – Jay Marshall
