In 1964, an East End barber became the World's Greatest Mind Reader and wrote a book about the 'hidden powers of the mind'. It sold worldwide, then vanished into second-hand shops and forgotten shelves. Ledge discovered it, and this show proves it works. Psychological illusionist Ledge takes the old book's boldest claims and tests them, with you. Hidden thoughts revealed, unlikely choices predicted, and moment after moment of amazement. No stooges, no camera tricks. Just an audience, a battered paperback, and a room full of things that shouldn't happen. Belief creates the impossible.
This is an archived listing from the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Mindreading and Other Impossible Things is by Ledge, listed under Cabaret and Variety in the Fringe programme. It plays at Manahatta, 28 Rose Street, EH2 2QA, 9 August to 30 August.
The show runs 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 12+. Tickets are £10. Content warnings: Audience participation.
