, a bearded, soft-spoken man with gentle eyes, doesn’t want to bamboozle us with hocus pocus. Instead, he sets out to dazzle us by revealing our own predictability.
Participation is built into the show from the start. Before DePonto walks out, a telephone on the set starts ringing, prompting a bold audience member to answer it. This prelude issues a warning: Those in attendance will not be permitted to sit back in the safety of anonymity. No doubt I would have been easy prey for his Pavlovian clutches. His mind-reading went as smoothly as clockwork. He knew that one woman was thinking about her fear of ants and another was recalling the happiness of her youth playing outside with her sister.Astoundingly, he knew that one man would be thinking about a romantic sandstorm he experienced at Burning Man. DePonto had a photo of such a scene ready to be unveiled — preparation that spoiled the fun for me.
