Mental Powers

Marc Salem's Mindgames

Boy, do you sure wish you knew what your significant other were thinking. Ever.

It’s a strange fact of life that people in so-called intimate relationships almost never know what’s going on inside each other’s head.

According to famed mentalist Marc Salem, however, the ability to read minds lies within all of us. How do we find it? Same way Salem got to Broadway: practice, practice, practice. With his astounding show, he’ll amaze you by drawing pictures of what you’re thinking, identifying the serial number on that $20 bill in your wallet, and doing much, much more. Not only is he good, but he’s also a mensch: In his spare time he consults with the NYPD and NYFD. And he won’t make dire predictions, even if he sees them. He has a huge celeb following, so expect to see cameo players like Hugh and Nicole.

Though apparently his mind-reading skills didn’t work well enough to save their last relationships.

Marc Salem’s Mindgames, Mondays at the Lyceum Theater, 149 West 45th Street, at Broadway (212-239-6200).
