ANOMAL
I stared at the spoon I'd been handed. Its neck had been twisted 180 degrees, allowing me to simultaneously see the inside of the bowl and the back of the handle. Many people sitting in a theater, watching the twisting process from a safe distance, would likely be excited or highly skeptical about what happened. But I was simply shocked: I'd been holding the spoon during the twisting, and I'll go to my grave insisting that no one else touched it...

ANOMAL Review

THE MENTALIZER
There's no easy way to discuss Ehud Segev without first mentioning Uri Geller. Like the fifty-something Geller, 25-year-old Segev is an Israel-born spoon-bender. Unlike Geller - so far, at least - Segev doesn't claim that supernatural powers were given to him by aliens.

HE CAN TWIST A SPOON BUT CAN'T READ GIRLFRIEND
New Delhi, November 18: He bends spoons and forks by just ''concentrating hard''. He touches a man on his nose while person standing next feels it. He can make credit cards ''fly'' but Ehud Segev - the ''mentalizer'' from Israel - is not a magician but prefers to be called as ''spiritual entertainer''.
'I love to amaze people'', says Segev. ''People call it intuition. I call it connection. Connecting first to myself and then to others is what I do'', he adds.

ANTICS OF THE MIND
Touching a person using psychokinesis and exploding light bulbs by just looking at them. No, these are not tricks of the P.C. Sorcar brand of magic, but the telekinetic powers of Ehud Segev, the Israeli mystic known as the entertainer of the mind.

MYSTIC MISSION
At 12 he borrowed a complete shelf of books on mysticism and spiritualism from the library. At 13, everybody recognized him, but no one knew his real name. When he was 19, he predicted the results of the elections for the mayor's post in Israel and proved right.

THE POWER OF THE SIXTH SENSE
It was an exciting evening at F Bar where Ehud Segev from Israel floored the guests with his psychokinetic powers.

MYSTIC MIND
He confesses that he was a "weird boy" at the age of five, a sentiment most of his classmates at school shared. Now, that trait seems to have come in rather handy, taking him across the world, dazzling audiences, all with the powers of his mind. Ehud Segev - aka the Mentalizer - is a magician who uses no tricks. Or so he claims. The Israeli-born man breezed through town last weekend, showing off telekinetic powers, splitting a spoon in two parts and making objects disappear at will, all while performing at Cloud 9 and Someplace Else. He calls himself "an analyser with spiritual powers".

JUST MENTAL
Psychic Designs: Bending spoons or telling you about the future, both come easily for Ehud Segev.

MENTALIZER MESMERIZES
WEDNESDAY NIGHT at the F-bar. Patrons are amused to find that the spoons are bent and there's actually a guy in the pub bending them. Looks like a scene from The Matrix where a little girl bends a spoon and then tells Keanu Reeves that the spoon itself is an illusion. But in this case, the spoons are for real. How did the solid metal spoons bend as if they were putty? No clue.

But what is the true power of this esoteric science?

EHUD SEGEV: "THE NEW HORATIO ALGER"
Ehud Segev, 24, loves this country. He is a talented sophisticated young actor, performer, entertainer and... mentalizer, as well. He is a new star, a member of a new tribe of people who see America as their new social frontier. They were Americanized before they became newcomers to this universal continent, the "new world." They espoused the American values, they are the new Horatio Algers, they want to be famous, to be distinguished, they are highly motivated. Certainly the "Arnold Syndrome" in California has enriched their dreams: America means immigrants, immigrants mean America (Oscar Henolin!)
