Thousand Oaks, CA. (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- Marc Salem, a world-famous mentalist, known for taking his audience on a captivating excursion into the possibilities of the human mind, is bringing his Broadway performance "Mind Games" to the Fred Kavli Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Wednesday evening at 7:45 p.m., June 14.

Salem, who has been a student of the mind for more than 30 years, has amazed audiences around the world and even baffled Mike Wallace on a recent "60 Minutes."

This is his only Los Angeles-area performance in 2006. In his shows, Salem seems to read audience members' minds. He correctly calls out the serial numbers on a dollar bill in an audience member's wallet; he accurately describes an item while blindfolded. He can even change the time on a person's watch while standing several feet away. Salem doesn't use hidden cameras or "plants" in the audience. He offers $100,000 to anyone who can prove he's being helped.

Salem uses psychological techniques, visual information, a sharp eye for human nature and years of training--all which enable him to peer inside the human brain. To his audience, however, he is a master mind reader.

Salem admits that he can read thoughts. "But a thought is not the same thing as a mind," says Salem. "Let me make a distinction. To read a mind means I can go in there, and pull out things you don't want me to get. A thought is something that you're focused on." He adds, "80 percent of the information we convey is not what we say, but how we say it."

Salem has performed around the world, astounding and entertaining millions. "Mind Games" concluded two extended runs off-Broadway to both critical and popular acclaim. It was followed by a six month run at the legendary Century Theatre in Detroit. His show, "Mind Games and All That Jazz," broke all records at Feinstein's Night Club at the Regency in New York and won the Backstage 2001 performer of the year award.

Liz Smith of the New York Post said of Salem's show: "Mind-blowing is the only way to describe Marc Salem's Mind Games. This is a one man tour de force as Marc wows and charms his audience for an hour and a half with his incredible ability to read minds."

Says Susan Pollack of the Detroit News, "Salem's sometimes spooky, often baffling, always entertaining one-man show, Mind Games, leaves members of the audience collectively shaking their heads and muttering, 'How the heck did he do that?' In a word, it's mind-blowing."

The evening is presented by Chabad of the Conejo and The Friendship Circle. Tickets ($25 - $180) are available by going to www.SalemMindGames.com, through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com) or at the box office. For more information, including group tickets, call 818-991-0991.
