A Review: On the Art of Mind Reading


A review of "Michael Jons: Wicked Thoughts!"
by Julie Rapp, Greenbelt News Review

 

Michael Jons Wicked ThoughtsMichael Jons, a self-described mind reader and psychic entertainer, brought his thought-provoking, interactive show, “Michael Jons: Wicked Thoughts!” to the Greenbelt Arts Center (GAC) stage the weekend of March 6 to 8. The audience was treated to an evening of often hilarious and clever demonstrations of his modern take on the art of mind reading. Jons has been entertaining audiences with his psychic powers since 2014 in his residency show, “Michael Jons: Psychic Cabaret” first in Fort Lauderdale and then at the Four Seasons Hotel in D.C.

Jons began by asking audience participants to write something embarrassing or perhaps wicked that they had experienced on a card which was then dropped into the “Box of Shame.” Later in the show Jons proved his mind-reading skill by reaching into the box with a comical flair, picking out a card and humorously reading out loud the embarrassing moment or shameful action of an audience member. He then canvassed the audience and finally settled on one person who eventually owned up to the card being theirs. He continued to demonstrate his intriguing abilities to read, influence and predict thoughts by engaging audience members in games which highlighted techniques of manipulation that utilize a mixture of intuition and human psychology.

With his remarkable feats of persuasion, Jons demonstrated how easily minds can be controlled at times when people think they are making a decision using their own free will. He warned the audience to be aware of mind manipulation techniques used every day by advertisers, politicians, clergy and nefarious types on social media. His recommendation to combat this intrusion is to employ what he calls “kindergarten rules.”

The “King of Cartomancy,” as he describes himself, closed the show by using a deck of cards to predict the future. He accurately guessed the card each audience member was holding and had a highly intuitive and thought-provoking interpretation of each card.
 

 

Wicked Thoughts Premiere Just 90 Days Away!

Michael Jons Wicked Thoughts"Michael Jons: Wicked Thoughts!" will get its 2020 premiere at the Greenbelt Arts Center on March 6-8, 2020. 

The idea for "Wicked Thoughts!" began in November, 2016 and developed over the next year. In 2018 we produced several workshop productions of the show in Washington DC, Coral Gables FL, Greenbelt MD and Tawas MI. Those 2018 performances were a great start, but we knew we weren't yet finished.

We went back and worked on the show for another entire year. I'm happy to say that all the that hard work has paid off. The show is finally just what we envisioned it to be back in 2016.

We are incredibly excited to be presenting the finished show this March at the Greenbelt Arts Center theater. You're not going to want to miss it - it's an awesome show!

More Wicked Thoughts from Tawas Bay

I must confess that reading through the audience Wicked Thoughts from our recent Tawas performances made me like every one of them even more.

Wicked Thoughts in Tawas Bay

Wicked Thoughts at Tawas Bay PlayhouseI was back at the Tawas Bay Playhouse for two performances of my new show, "Michael Jons' Wicked Thoughts". I love doing these shows as benefits for the Tawas Bay Players who do such an amazing job creating theater for the community. Thanks to everybody who came out to see the show. We raised more money for the Players this year than last, which is awesome! 

These shows are particularly fun for me because my family, friends and neighbors get an opportunity to see the show.

Many "Wicked Thoughts" of members of the community were exposed during the course of the shows. We learned of one woman's secret crush on her podiatrists ("Dr. Handsome") and about how another very nice woman followed instructions on a bumper sticker and made some trucker very happy. We also found out that one guy has been lying to his mother his entire life about liking her potato salad, which he actually hates. It was a great evening of interactive theater!

Hopefully we can do it again next summer with another all new show!

Michael Jons' Wicked Thoughts at DCAC

Michael Jons' Wicked Thoughts open rehearsal performances start in just a few weeks!

Its an all-new stage show that I've been working on for a while. I think this may be my best show yet, but you just never really know what you have until you put it out in front of an audience. That's part of the terror and excitement of creating a new show. 

I'll be presenting special "open rehearsal" performances of portions of the show every Saturday night in April at 10:00pm at the DC Arts Center theater. These casual performances will give me the opportunity to test out some of the routines I am developing for the show in front of a live audience. 

Please come check it out and let me know what you think! 

Tickets are on sale now!
