Description

The David Meade ProjectDo not adjust your television sets. You have to see this to believe it – but even when you see it, you won’t believe your eyes. Is this man telling you what to think, or, is he reading your mind? The man is mentalist David Meade who demonstrates his mind-boggling skills in a new four-part BBC series. He  has stunned audiences from Belfast to Boston with his performances.By day he’s a lecturer but he combines his academic work with his other passion – Mentalism – the art of mind manipulation. Now he’s unleashing his talents on the public in a series of mind-bending experiments that will leave viewers bewildered as to how he does it. Can he really tell how much money someone has in their pocket just by listening to the sound it makes when it’s dropped? Can he actually read the mind of a well-known artist and predict what he’s going to draw? And do you think you’re lucky? If not, maybe a mentalist can change your luck.Produced by Wild Rover Productions, The David Meade Project starts on the BBC on Wednesday, January 12 at 10.45pm and each programme will see the man puts his reputation on the line by testing his abilities on members of the public as well as putting his skills to the test around a number of planned experiments. The only thing close to these amazing spectacles is the bamboozled reaction of the participants.Executive Producer Kieran Doherty said: “How does he do it? Well, let’s just say he puts his mind to it. Even after filming the series with David, I’ve still no idea how he does it. There is no smoke or mirrors, no camera tricks, no stooges – this isn’t a magician’s act. It’s happening right in front of your eyes. You’ll be stunned. Simple as that. “These are skills that he’s perfected over the years.  It’s jaw dropping to watch – he can actually get inside people’s heads and find out their pin numbers – so just be careful what you’re thinking about if you meet him!”
