Are Russ Peak's programs interactive?

You bet!  No matter which performance you choose, the audience is a crucial part of Russ Peak's presentations.  In fact, Russ involves the entire audience in several parts of the program All volunteers are treated with absolute respect and will tell others that they had a great time being part of the show.  and will bring up over a dozen individuals who get to join him on stage and experience the magic on an intimate level. 

Is Russ Peak's motivational presentation a lecture or a show?

It's rare to find a presenter who is both a world class speaker and an award-winning entertainer all rolled into one.  The result is the most amazing, high-energy, motivational, and entertaining shows you'll ever see!

How does Russ present his mind reading?  Can't that stuff be kind of weird?

Russ Peak makes no claims of actual psychic powers or help from the supernatural.  He is not mystical and will not try to sell your guests crystals or Ouija boards after the show.  He is a professional speaker and entertainer who uses the demonstration of these feats to engage and challenge your audience to take their mind and actions from the ordinary to the extraordinary.  Russ clearly explains to the audience that he relies on non-verbal communication, mathematic skullduggery, subconscious influence, hypnotic suggestion, applied psychology, lightning memory, body language, overwhelming hunches, a lot of luck, and a bit of good old fashioned theatrical illusion.

Does Russ need to be supplied with information about his audience beforehand for his mind reading feats?

No.  In your presentation, Russ will be able to pluck words, names, designs, and other thoughts from the minds of your audience, yet he needs absolutely no prior information from you.  When Russ points to a member of the audience and tells her the name of her boyfriend from the 1st grade, or when he tells another to think of a design - and Russ duplicates it exactly -- it is done spontaneously and uncontrived.  Russ uses no stooges in his show -- guaranteed!!!

We are an association or school that does not allow hypnosis programs.  Does your Use Your MIND program include hypnosis?

No.  Although both presentations are equally entertaining -- they are two completely different acts.  The Use Your MIND program does not include any hypnosis whatsoever.  It is a good clean comedy motivational show that includes lots of fun 'magic of the mind'.  It is in no way presented mystical or in any way questionable to even the most conservative groups.

Can Russ do multiple shows for schools that need split assemblies?

Yes.  Russ books his show with the intention that when he leaves the client says "WOW! We got our money's worth!"  If your school needs multiple assemblies to accommodate your growing student population, Russ is happy to comply.  Russ can usually present up to 3-4 assemblies per day.  We also offer a day rate designed to allow your school to share Russ with a neighboring school at a great savings.

Can the Use Your MIND show be presented with a drug & alcohol awareness message at my assembly?

Yes.  The presentation of Russ' mental feats displays the unlimited power of the human mind and lends itself to share a variety of messages which encourage students to care for their most prized possession -- their mind.  Russ has presented his Use Your MIND show with themes relating to Red Ribbon Week/drug & alcohol prevention, student community & leadership, and motivational messages encouraging students to make use of their mind and create an amazing future!  Call Russ Peak with your message requests at 800.381.5858.

Our school does not have a stage... will the gym floor do?

Yes.  One the best things about Russ Peak's presentation is that he is entirely flexible. As long as he has a good sound system -- there should be no problem.  Although a formal stage is always preferable, a High School gym makes for a great stage!

How long does the Use Your MIND show last?  Is there a minimum or maximum time limit?

Russ is able to provide programs of virtually any length of time you desire.  Although he understands that sometimes his clients are working with time constraints beyond their control, Russ does recommend that he be provided with a minimum of 30 minutes to execute his act.  The ideal time span for the Use Your MIND presentation is between 45 to 60 minutes.  However, he is easily able to pull of a performance of 1 1/2 hours if the need should arrive.

I can't decide which show to have for my event.  Can you mix the two (HYPNOSIS and MIND READING) together?

You bet!  Although the USE YOUR MIND presentation as traditionally a NON-HYPNOSIS act, upon request, for those groups that want a little of both, Russ can begin his show with a bit of mind reading, then smoothly slide into his hypnosis presentation.  The two shows complement each other so well that this is Russ Peak's recommended show format for formal banquets.  Call us at 800-381-5858 and find out what type of Russ Peak presentation would be the best fit for your group.
