Talking With Banachek – July 24, 2023

This week, Ira Sternberg spoke with Banachek, “the world’s greatest mind reader,” who performs “Banachek’s Mind Games Live” at the Strat Hotel, Casino and Skypod. In this episode of  “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Banachek talks about coming from a mentalism background first and a magic background second; his experiences as a kid fooling scientists; his friendship with The Amazing Randi; his meeting with Uri Geller (and how he fooled him); his ethical approach to his act; why he enjoys working with kids on stage; why he performs “jazz” mentalism; why mentalism as entertainment is so different from magic; and his most dramatic effect.

Banachek has performed on major TV shows from CNN Live, to the Today Show and had hundreds of smaller appearances on TV shows the world over, including appearing on and producing over 100 TV shows for Criss Angel. He has appeared in almost every major magazine and newspaper from the New York Times to the National Enquirer. From the college market, he received the coveted Entertainer of the Year award from the Association for the Promotion of Campus performers two years in a row and the Novelty Act of The Year beating out bands, comedians and other novelty artists. Banachek is the most awarded mentalist in the USA and has been awarded the Psychic Entertainers Creativity award and is sought out as a consultant by most major magicians and mentalists in the USA and abroad including Penn & Teller, Criss Angel and David Blaine. Banachek has put more magic on television than any other magic consultant in the USA.
