The Mentalist

This was a random chance experience. Meaning, someone was asking if I was interested in seeing a mentalist and I said, "Okay, I'm in." I have seen performances like this before. So, for the content I was somewhat prepared and the nail gun "trick" was something I have seen specifically done before by someone else, maybe Penn and Teller? Either way, it doesn't matter. Gerry McCambridge not only does an outstanding job but he is literally The Mentalist.From the internet: "In 2002 Gerry wrote his first TV script titled "The Mentalist" and took it out to Los Angeles to pitch it to the major networks. Jeff Zucker, the president of NBC witnessed Gerry's live performances many times, and instantly licensed the special for his network. Gerry became the creator, executive producer and star of the hit prime-time network television special "The Mentalist" which started airing to 6.2 million viewers in the United States on May 12, 2004."The audience interaction is what a show like this is about and Gerry not only does a great job but the venue itself is small enough to make it work for nearly every seat.

What an incredible talent! I don't know how is done, it might be easy or simple but it will amaze you anyway. The show was engaging and entertaining.

Date of visit: 8/21/22Having experienced Colin Cloud as part of the Shin Lim show, we knew that this would be something Mom would love when we brought her back to Vegas and it did not disappoint!Having Mom actually be part of the show with her index card "selected" was a nice extra touch; I don't think she believes me that I didn't do anything to have her be part of the show, ha ha!While there obviously has to be some kind of trick behind what it is that Gerry does, I can't figure it out and instead chose to just sit back and enjoy the show instead, and I am glad that we did. The theatre is really nothing to write home (or to Yelp) about, though I will say the seats were comfortable and the joint appeared clean. If this more basic theatre helps keep ticket costs low, I have no complaints!

Gerry was simply amazing. He covered so many tasks in one hour. He left us in awe repeatedly and kept raising and meeting our expectations in a consistent manner throughout the show. His mentalist skills are mind blowing for sure but what mattered even more was his entertainment ability. He kept the audience very involved. This being a smaller audience (unlike the big shows with several hundreds of people), it felt more personal. You want to be picked and you don't want to be picked. It's fun to be on stage but he kept that little element of fear in us on how he COULD unwind your more personal stuff (if not your darkest secrets, haha). I think it was intentional. If you check in on yelp, you get a discount of 50% for additional shows. Gerry also gave some lucky winners a few souvenirs. All the guests received a key chain with their photo with LV scenery in the background. That's a nice touch by the showrunners.I would 100% recommend it.

Bought last minute tickets to the show. Came here during nye week. I always enjoyed watching magic shows even though they are fake but are fascinating. This show is totally different. Gerry did so well interacting with the whole audience. About 50% of the audience were able to be part of the show. Each trick was so cool and left me shocked as I had no idea how he did that! After watching his show, made me feel like maybe there is such thing as magic lolAfter the show ended, people were able to take pictures. This was a very entertaining show. Definitely would see it again!

So entertaining. Funny, just the right amount of profanity to make it relatable. A must in Vegas and so easy to get to inside the miracle mile.

Over rated. OK if you need to kill time. Be warned- the theater seating is horrible- do NOT sit in the " Cove" area as you will not see half of the show. The show itself was mediocre and tired. The first " audience member" was obviously a plant and most of the tricks were amateur level.The Rubik's cube trick ? He He picked up the cube from the audience and almost fumbled it with the one in his sleeve as he switched them. Better show out there, in my opinion

Not funny, so lame and cheesy. Waste of time and money. I was not impressed by any of it

Amazing show! Unbelievable how he does it! The interactive show is 1 like I've never seen. Gerry makes the show fun with his great personality. My husband is a fan of the show. I'm looking forward to reading his book.

Absolutely incredible! Gerry is amazing! We had a fantastic time this evening. It's great for all ages and after the show our entire dinner conversation was about the experience. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see a mind blowing show in Vegas. We are definitely going to again!
