Mentalist ‘minds’ your business Christopher Carter is set to stun audience at WCH BY LIBBY ELLIOTT THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Christopher Carter is coming to Winnetka — and he’s ready to BLOW. YOUR. MIND. The well-known Chicago-based illusionist, mind reader and mentalist will appear at the Winnetka Community House (WCH) on January 26 as the featured entertainment at WCH’s annual Board of Governors fundraiser. Using techniques he perfected in a career spanning 28 years (and counting), Carter will engage with audience members throughout the one-hour performance, inexplicably predicting their actions, manipulating their thoughts and reading their minds. But make no mistake. Carter is not a psychic, clairvoyant or fortune-teller. He does not use ropes or strings or moving floors in his unique brand of magic “I read people,” Carter says in a phone interview. “Their eyes, their clothes, their mannerisms. I am a skilled observer of human nature.” Although Carter becomes hesitant when the subject turns to his techniques, he says he always opens his show by interacting with the audience for at least 15 to 20 minutes, using that time to mentally log their observable data. “It really begins when the show begins,” Carter says. “I put the leg work in early.” Continued on PG 6
