Title: Marc Salem's Mind Games
Description: Esplanade Presents Flipside Festival
JasonL - May 8, 2005 05:28 AM (GMT)
Hey Guys!
Professor Marc Salem from USA is coming to Singapore from 10-12 June! I went for his show two years ago and it was great! Totally blew me off. His style and mindreading acts were fantastic! If you're into mentalism I'd recommend you go watch him.
I got a letter from esplanade with an offer of $90 for four tickets! The tickets are going at $30 each if you buy them normally. So thought I'll share the deal with you guys...
I will be going on 11th June 8:00pm. If you want to go on another day I can book for you but you must have 4 people. This offer ends on the 8th May (sorry chanced upon the letter late). So tell me who's going today!!
This post if not for those still schooling, cuz you can get the student tickets at $18. This is for non schooling people only!!
So far I have:
Jason
Pambudi
Ilma
Mr President aka Aloy

Its stated on the webby there is a student discount of $18 per ticket?
That would be cheaper right?
Any additional stuff for the $90 offer such as the workshop?
exohordon - May 8, 2005 10:54 AM (GMT)
Oh so its cheaper via student rate eh?
Since 4 tickets is only $72 at student rate.
Nothing extra in the $90 package?
Free refreshments?
Better seats?
Autograph sessions?

Tell you what Jason....you re-enlist and I'll ORD in your place since you feel so bad about it.
Consider it part of my far-reaching and never-ending benevolence. :g:
I'll probably pick up my own ticket....see you guys there. Anyone going for the workshop?
Aloy - May 8, 2005 03:17 PM (GMT)
There's a workshop? How much? When and where?
Aloy - May 8, 2005 03:20 PM (GMT)
Oh...found the details for the workshop.
Workshop: Mind Tools - ways to enhance the powers of your mind, intuition, memory and non-verbal skills.
9 Jun, Thu, 8pm
Rehearsal Studio
$15
Erm...doesn't sound like a mentalism workshop. Sound more like some self-improvement/motivational workship?
Anybody attended his workshop before?

http://www.esplanade.com/SOPApp/espsop/por...n5ft=1ZcPAzsJFMIt's at the same webpage in that little green box. It doesn't sound like it's really related to magic, but it should be interesting. I've done some mind-mapping and other brain gym courses in the past and this sounds similar.
EDIT: Bollocks we posted at the same time. In a mentalism related thread. Pffft.
Yeah its not magic related but should be interesting to see.
JasonL - May 8, 2005 04:06 PM (GMT)
I've not and won't be going to the workshop. But if you guys need help with the tics let me know. I can order together.
List updated! I'll need two more non-schooling non-brave boys in green running around with rifles aka NSFs..sorry Raoul, pink is my fav colour for now...lol...
JasonL - May 8, 2005 04:08 PM (GMT)
And it's free seating when I went two yrs ago..should be the same this time round...so we can all sit together! ^_^
Ning - May 9, 2005 06:19 AM (GMT)
Me! Me! Me! *Miss Ning waves hands in the air*
I wanna go too... anyone else interested in his workshop? Kinda curious and it's only $15 (cheaper than the price of a pack of Tally Ho Vipers) :lol:

Why don't you buy it thru JasonL? We can then get group block bookings and it'd be cheaper for you too... ^_^ Or u using "student" discount huh?

Mabas - May 9, 2005 01:26 PM (GMT)
Can anyone tell me what kind of show this is? Is it mentalism? Is it entertaining and good? Thanks.
GordonLi - May 9, 2005 01:34 PM (GMT)
it is a mental show. and it seems the only guy who has seen it here is Jason, who has said it is good.
i believe its gonna be good too, go for it! can gain some ideas for effects/presentations, and enjoy urself too! :)
lukold - May 9, 2005 01:46 PM (GMT)
lets see , do i get a chance to comfirm my booking? i wan the one on 11th 8pm , anyone can help me?
JasonL - May 9, 2005 01:58 PM (GMT)
Yes Lukold, I ordered one extra ticket. You can have it if you can confirm you're going, then I will reject anyone else wanting to have that ticket. Thanks!!
Well when I went to watch him a couple of years back I found his materials very interesting. A lot of fresh ideas, and all mental effects. He claims they are all "experiments with the mind" but of course we magicians know better...heh! ^_^
Ok...I've already booked the tickets for the 8 people who responded so far including the one extra ticket which has just been taken by Lukold.
If any of the rest of you who wants to book and get the discount price, pls make sure you are a non-student and non-NSF. Gather a group of 4 and go to www.esplanade.com and book. If you need any help with that let me know but don't back out last min.
Students and NSFs will get a discount rate of $18 plus extra sistic charges. So book yourself! ^_^
yujie - May 9, 2005 02:07 PM (GMT)
thxs for organising, jason..... ^_^........yeah, ordered the student ticket through online.....hehehe.....berry swift & easy.......
iamthewalrus - May 10, 2005 03:20 AM (GMT)
Jason!
You lucky one! Boy, I should be going, guess I'll rope my ticket using my student thing.
Mabas,
yup, it's Mentalism. Bound to amaze.
OK fellas, I'll place my order for the 11th, 2000, then! See you all!

JasonL - May 14, 2005 04:57 PM (GMT)
Pambudi and his daughter will not be able to make it anymore. Some last minute work commitments which requires Pam to be overseas.
So for now there are 1 adult ticket and 1 Student's ticket up for grabs!!
