"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."

• 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".
