Marc Salem is one of the leading experts in non-verbal communication (also known as body language). You may have seen him on various news shows, helping the hosts read into statements, speeches and debates. If you haven’t, I would recommend you search the Web for “Marc Salem 60 Minutes.” Marc studied under the most important person in the field of Kinesics (non-verbal communication). After earning his PhD, he became a professor at NYU and received tenure at Manhattan College.
Marc gave up his academic career to become a Mentalist. Using his magic and Kinesics skills, he created a very successful show and career entertaining audiences around the world. He starred in two of his own television specials and a very successful, and critically acclaimed, Broadway show entitled “Mind Games.” In 2017, Marc and I teamed up to produce “Mind Games Reloaded.” I open the show with highlights from my comedy/magic act followed by Marc presenting highlights from his Broadway show. Since both of us have very busy lives, we have only been able to present the show a few times—each time the shows sold out and were very well received. We are booked to present it again on September 22nd at the Parlor Of Mystery/South Shore Theatre in Long Island and decided to also book it closer to home. With the help of John McAvoy and Harvey Leeds, we will be presenting it on Friday, September 20th at the historic Turning Point in Piermont. Tickets are only $25 per person with no food or drink minimums (I hate minimums… they always seem like a scam to me). For more information and tickets go to: MagicAfterDark.net
