When Fred isn't onstage or onscreen, he appears as The Chicago Mentalist , reading minds at private parties, corporate events, and tradeshows.
How does Fred read minds? Well, he doesn’t REALLY … he uses the tools of an actor … observation, character analysis, the knowledge of human nature and human behavior, and other little-known tools and tactics … to create the experience of … well … you’ll swear he can read your mind.
Fred’s a fake, but he’ll make a believer out of you.
