Mentalist Oz Pearlman pulls off a jawdropping surprise during his 7 Questions interview with Emmy

Every week I’m interviewing interesting people in Idaho and around the world!

Oz Pearlman is a world-renowned mentalist, magician, and motivational speaker who transitioned from a career on Wall Street to a career in entertainment.

His show is mind-blowing and he released a book last fall called “Read Your Mind: Proven Habits for Success from the World’s Greatest Mentalist.”

I spoke with Oz a few months ago and thought I’d share his interview again today.

Here’s what I asked him:

• What exactly is a mentalist?
• How did you get your start as a magician?
• What happens if something goes wrong while you’re doing a show or the result isn’t what was expected following a trick?
• You’ve performed all over the world and my dad interviewed you before a show in Idaho a few years ago. What is your favorite way to have one of our famous potatoes?
• What type of skills are required for someone who wants to be a mentalist?
• Why did you decide to write a book and can you tell me about it?
• Can you do read my mind or do a trick with me?

BONUS QUESTION

• Can you share a piece of advice with me?
