Charlatan!
Travis Bernhardt —The Cinematheque
Charlatan is a perfect title for this show. The premise revolves around a Kreskin-like (I wonder how many people will know that reference?) ability to read audience members. You fill out a card as you enter and that’s the origin of the antics to come. My guard goes up immediately since the card asks for your full name.
If you’re a believer in all things mystical, you’ll sit through this trial with oohs and ahhs. If you’re a skeptic like me, you know that someone’s behind the scenes Facebooking your personal information. This whole act feels creepy to me.
Heed this as a warning: if you have no belief in the supernatural or the spiritual, you’re going to hate this show—just avoid it.
