Challenge Your Perceptions with John Riggs

Join John Riggs as he redefines the boundaries of mentalism in a captivating discussion that goes beyond traditional expectations. In this engaging interview with Thomas Hastings, John delves into critical topics such as performance ethics, marketing strategies, personal integrity, and real-world challenges faced by entertainers. With over thirty-five years of experience since his first professional performance at just fifteen, John shares his wealth of knowledge with aspiring mentalists.

“I’ve always wanted to do a lecture that breaks away from the typical format of showcasing tricks followed by explanations. We already have plenty of those. My goal is to provoke the audience to reflect on their beliefs, much like I do with my performances. During a conversation with my friend Chris Carter, we brainstormed the idea of discussing ‘Things a Mentalist Shouldn’t Do,’ and I was instantly inspired,” John explains.

This lecture transcends mere trick demonstrations, evolving into a rich dialogue that lasts nearly two hours. If you’re seeking practical insights into the life of a professional entertainer rather than just tricks, this is the perfect resource for you.
