Oz Pearlman, a renowned mentalist who has performed across 6 continents and over 30 countries. Oz shares with us how he developed his lifelong passion for magic and how he balances his career with being one of the fastest ultramarathon runners in the country.

When did you first fall in love with magic?

I first got into magic when I was 13. I was on a cruise ship after my bar mitzvah, never having seen a magician before in my life, and there was a magician onboard the cruise ship doing tricks and I was blown away. I saw him one night, went to see him again the next night, and as soon as we came back home I started buying books and videos and dove in headfirst. When I was 14 I got my first gig working at a local restaurant. I got my first business cards made and from there it snowballed. I started doing kids shows, corporate events, and I kept on practicing and performing throughout high school, college and afterwards. Read more at:

ILLUSIONIST, magician, mentalist, hypnotist — Keith Barry has been described as all of these.

However, above all, he says he is an entertainer. But he certainly has a magical way with audiences, whether on TV or the stage.

This year, Barry will perform to his home city of Waterford for its annual Christmas festival, Winterval. The illusion will be staged on the city’s Mall on Saturday.

Its top-secret details have been written down and will be stored in a tamper-proof exhibition case at the Waterford Museum of Treasures, at Bishop’s Palace. Members of the public are being invited to guess the illusion in advance, to win a family VIP package for the festival.

Barry was happy to take time out of his hectic schedule for the festival. “They approached me a while back and asked me to get involved, and, of course, I’m delighted to help with anything positive for Waterford. I was born and bred down there, so it’s a no-brainer for me, it’s a great festival for families and kids..

The royal household could soon be celebrating ANOTHER baby after a self-styled ‘mentalist’ predicted Prince Harry would get a girl pregnant.

As one of a series of outlandish claims, Irish ‘hypnotist’ Keith Barry ‘predicts’ that the current fourth in line to the throne will create a “scandal” by getting a girl pregnant in the coming months.

Mr Barry made the prediction on his Facebook page after saying he had been hit with “crazy new premonitions”.

Speaking to his thousands of followers, Mr Barry, who claims to have predicted theBuncefield gas explosion in 2005, reeled off a list of things he expected to happen – including a new royal baby.
