Alex McAleer: Mind Reader

Alex McAleer isn’t psychic or supernatural, but he has an uncanny ability to apparently tap into his audience’s minds and read their thoughts at will.

After more than a decade wowing audiences across the UK and North America, including touring the USA with Champions of Magic, sold-out solo shows, West End appearances, and TV spots on Blue Peter and Good Morning Britain, he has built a reputation as one of the most entertaining and charismatic mentalists working today.

In this unforgettable live show, Alex blends laugh-out-loud humour with jaw-dropping psychological feats, turning the audience into the stars of the evening. Smart, playful, and astonishing – don’t miss your chance to see Alex McAleer live.

“McAleer has made a career of those you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me moments” Boston Globe
“A master of the mind… cheeky and witty, working the crowd like a conductor” ★★★★ The West Australian
“Stunningly performed… a mentalist whose performance is immeasurably enhanced by his very dry wit.” ★★★★ Stage-Door.com
“Best of all, McAleer is wonderfully warm, his act presented to entertain friends rather than chill as so many mentalists are prone to do.” ★★★★★ THEATRE MONKEY
