“Timothy Krass is one of the most captivating performers you’ll encounter, and his thoughtfulness is equally impressive. His acts are among the most creatively crafted theatrical displays of mentalism I’ve witnessed. In an industry crowded with creators lacking real-world performance insight, Timothy stands out with his practical material designed to astonish real audiences — and isn’t that what we all aim for?!” -Ken Dyne

“While I admire many mentalists, few inspire me like Timothy Krass. His character, energy, and passion for the art are truly unmatched. Timothy transcends being just a mentalist; he embodies the essence of an artist, philosopher, and poet. Having had the privilege to witness his performances and insights over the past two years, I envy those about to experience his brilliance for the first time. Welcome to a transformative perspective, welcome to Timothy Krass’ world!” -Michael Murray
