8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday; March 31, 1987 Audience riveted by amazing power of suggestion it would seem that Kimber DeHaas (left) and Joanne Blan- chard must have heard the funniest joke in the world, but they didn't! Through Mike Mandel's power of suggestion they thought they had just been told a very funny joke, while actually the story he told was not funny at all. A v { If you were under a hypnotic trance and so- meone told you that the boat you were riding in by Peter Hvidsten If the old adage "seeing is belies ing' is true, I'm still having trouble believing some of the things that took place on stage at the high school last Friday night Fifteen local people let their im- aginations fly loose and took rides on roller-coasters; canoed in the Niagara River; laughed hillarious- 'ly at not-so-funny jokes; jumped in fear from non-existant creatures, and when the evening was over didn't realize what had happened Mike Mandel has thrilled au- diences across Canada and the U.S A. with his incredible powers of suggestion, demonstrations of ESP and hypnotic trances and he was at Port Perry High School last Friday night for a show that kept the au- dience laughing for about two hours. The Incredible World of Mike Mandell was brought to Port Perry by the local Ringette Association in hopes of raising about $3000 for their organization. Unfortunately only about 150 people purchased the tickets and they were not able to raise the funds they need. The ticket price of $8.00 in ad- vance may have scared some patrons off, but those attending agreed that it was a small price to pay for such a tremendous show. | Perry High School last Friday night grasping for the branch as though their life was at stake, dur- Mike Mandel simply INCREDIBLE! would echo the same feelings as it was probably one of the best shows I have been to in a very long time, if pot the best altogether From the start of his perfor- mance, Mr. Mandel put everyone at ease and made those attending part of his act. In fact at one tine about 25 people from the audience were standing on stage under his incredi- ble powers. This number was cut to 15 later and it was these 15 local residents that were the main ac- tors/actresses in the show. Can you image fifteen people lin- ed up on a stage all jumping out of their seats when they thought so- meone had pinched their bottoms; or stepping back in fear as a belt ap- peared to turn into a snake; or hud- dling into a ball when it was sug- gested that the temperature had dipped below freezing? The incredible world of Mike Mandel is just that .. BLE! Above, Mike works with Bonnie (picked out of the audience) on one of his many demonstrations on the power of suggestion. At one point Mr. Mandel sug- gested to one participant that whenever he said the word "jungle." that young man would jump out of his seat, beat his chest, yell and then jump off the stage and go into the audience looking for Jane. He used the 'Tarzan' routine twice during the evening and the young man looked. around in bewilderment as he found himself in the audience when the last he remembered was being on stage. According to Ringette officials the club will be trying to bring Mike Mandel back to Port Perry in the fall as they feel more people will want to see this tremendous show I hope they do bring him back, because I'll go again. Anyone who missed this show should not miss the chance to see him again. You won't be disappointed, I can promise you. .
