Affable, approachable, whip-smart, and a consummate showman, Steve Sanders calls on random audience members during numerous portions of the show, offering the opportunity to step on stage as volunteers, as he brings to light a staggering amount of personal information about the aforementioned volunteers he would have no logical reason for knowing, such as where his subject resides, her first kiss, and many other feats of mentalism that will shock and amaze you.

The second half of the show dives into the world of real life detectives and private investigators who incorporated the very real art of mentalism into their investigative techniques to solve some of the most grisly murders and crimes of their eras, and Sanders dresses in full Sherlock Holmes Regalia to dive into the dark twisted psyches of some of the most demented and notorious killers of the 18th century, including the infamous Jack the Ripper.

Intelligent, unique, and highly entertaining, tHAT Mentalist Guy stars in, curates, and produces one of the most mystifying shows in Branson…be sure to catch this dynamic brand new show live at the Nashville Roadhouse Theater!
