The Mind Matters!! Will Demonstrate Dr. Gardner's Theory!! In An Educational, Entertaining, And Absolutely Amazing Way!
"Howard Gardner's work around multiple intelligences has had a profound impact on thinking and practice in education - especially in the United States. Here we explore the theory of multiple intelligences; why it has found a ready audience amongst educationalists; and some of the issues around its conceptualization and realization."

| "Discover How YOU Learn BEST! After that you will learn any subject as quickly, as thoroughly, and as solidly as possible." - John Cesta |
Finding out HOW you learn best will enhance everything you do. The challenge for a student using the theory of multiple intelligence is in discovering how they learn best.
Do you perform "tricks" during the show?
Kind of, yes. We--the audience and I--perform demonstrations, or, magic of the mind. The demonstrations are designed to punctuate and enhance the subject matter. While we discuss the 8 intelligences we perform demonstrations to bring the point home.
How long is the program?
The Mind Matters!! is about 55 minutes. It can be tailored for your event. It is a modularized show meaning parts may be eliminated and the benefits will still be realized. I can also add additional time to the event if it's required.
Who is John Cesta?
John Cesta is a Psychological Illusionist. Some may say a mind reader, some may say a third rate magician ... HEY!!
John says, "I am a person whose taken an interest in lots of things in my lifetime and now it's time to share them with others."
- Most people experience "lost opportunities" because they are unaware of what they are truly capable of--they hesitate to try new things. During The Mind Matters!! the audience will realize how exciting it is to try seemingly impossible things. As a result they will be more confident, gain courage, become fearless, and be able to tackle and overcome any obstacle or difficulty that comes their way. My performance is clean, fast-paced and humorous.
- I perform "Magic of the Mind" or "Sleight of Mind". I appear to read minds, predict the future, and influence other people's choices. These are demonstrations of the power of the mind, not a "magic" show!
- I involve as many people from the audience as possible. I make them the stars of the show by teaching them how to "do the impossible" with their minds. My goal is to amaze people...not challenge or offend them. I make fun of myself, not the people I invite to help during the performance.
- I claim no supernatural powers. I am comfortable explaining, after my performance, that what I accomplished was done by carefully combining principles of memory techniques, mathematics, psychology, communications, and the magical arts to create a series of mental "special effects".
John, self-employed since 1985, has worked as a professional drummer, a technology consultant and a professional entertainer. John's simple philosophy is to "give people something to think about!"
