World-renowned mentalist Marc Salem
takes his audience on a captivating excursion into the possibilities
of the human mind through a series of hilarious, astounding and mystifying
Mind Games.
Marc Salem has been a student of the human
mind for over 30 years. As an academic he holds advanced degrees from
the University of Pennsylvania and New York University, and has been
on faculty of several major universities for close to two decades. He
is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on non-verbal communication.
How the mind creates reality and meaning has been his major focus.
As a researcher Professor Marc Salem has traveled
the globe exploring the mind and its potential. He was a director of
research at Sesame Street studying the development and nature of the
mental process. As an entertainer Marc has performed around the world,
astounding and entertaining millions. His show MIND GAMES concluded two
extended runs on BROADWAY to both critical and popular acclaim. The Sydney
Opera House, the Edinburgh Festival and Singapore's Esplanade have also
hosted extended runs of MIND GAMES.
Marc Salem has been featured on the The O'Reilly
Factor, Montel, Maury, CNN, and has been a frequent guest on Regis. He
has had two network television specials, with more to come. Marc has
also completed 3 sell-out seasons in London. He is a regular guest on
Court TV, and was also recently profiled on an astounding 60 Minutes
by Mike Wallace.
The philosopher Rene Descartes wrote. "I think,
therefore I am." Marc Salem, with his Mind Games, might today change
that to read, "I think, therefore I play." Salem lays bare
the very nature of thinking itself with breathtaking and audacious games,
journeying deeper into the blending of the thought, judgment, emotions
and perceptions that we call "the mind."
What am I thinking? For as long as we have
recognized the images we create inside ourselves as "thoughts," we
have wanted to communicate those thoughts to others. We do this through
speech, writing, argument and art. This is public communication, but
if we want to keep our thoughts to ourselves, we can; the writer John
Donne said "No man is an island," but we have always assumed
that our thoughts, at least, are our own. Until now.
Using psychological techniques, visual information,
a sharp eye for human nature, a quick wit and 20 years of training, Marc
Salem breaks that eternal lock on the mind. By opening that door, he
raises fascinating questions that continue to excite philosophers and
scientists today: What are our senses? How do we use our senses to make
our reality? What if our senses can be fooled? What is the mind?
Working with the mind is often seen as the
tortuous work of professors and scientists. Marc Salem plays "games" with
the mind, allowing us to see our perceptions and ourselves in a new way,
all the while having fun.
With his Mind Games, Marc Salem encourages
you to become more open to your mind's potential and to what we're still
learning about our perceptions. But remember the old joke: A man says
of a politician, "He really has an open mind," and his friend
replies, "Yeah, wide open!" Nothing Mare Salem does is supernatural,
and this guide was written only to challenge your mind, not to make it
up for you. Have an open mind, but an active one: use sharp judgment
when introduced to new ideas. Or, as Salem says, "Enjoy your mind
and feed it often." This guide, and Mind Games, will offer your
mind a hearty meal!
