Hey Has Anyone seen Mac Kings Paper bag trick in Vegas where the audience member puts a bag over their head and reads people minds?

Yes. Brilliant stuff. What about it?
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

I saw him do it two years ago.

Mac King is one of the best afternoon shows in Las Vegas. Don't be put off by the fact that it is an afternoon show. He likes it that way because he has a wife, kids and a life. Please don't steal his act, but try to understand and absorb his audience charisma.

He was interviewed at the Psychic Entertainers Association convention, the Meeting of the Minds, when it was in Las Vegas.

His show is the "cheapest" ticket in town. One of the better shows in Vegas as well!!

I saw Mac's second show one night in mid-December. Does anyone know if he does different sets for his early and later shows?

I must have missed something about the original question and the followups.

Same show both shows. I've sat through them both before. But they are both in the afternoon, not at night, not even in December Smile (It gets dark early in Vegas in December, about 4:30)

It was dark when I walked out of the casino, so I defaulted to "night". :-P

Saw his show three times (in Nov) when I was in Vegas and the paperbag trick was done at all the shows.
It is hard to believe a man is telling you the truth if you know that if you were in his situation you would be lying.

Mac King was a super nice guy when I met him. You know you're good when you can demand a show spot like he has. He told me it was so he can spend time with his family. I bet it also fills a much needed spot in Vegas (After hang over entertainment).

His "cloak of invisibility" had me pee'ing myself!

Just to clear things up; Was this the paper-bag on head mind-reading effect, or the now classic paper-bag head-crush "Hiccup Cure" bit? I was, as many were, under the impression that the mentalism effect was retired a few years back. Has it been revisited?
