Tristan McLindon
DM for Deception
Experience the Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut of magician and mentalist Tristan McLindon as he dissects the magic of human connection.
DM for Deception is a fast-paced, mind-bending cocktail of magic, mentalism and the psychology behind how we connect, communicate… and manipulate.
His day job in marketing has taught Tristan the tricks used to grab attention and influence decisions. But beyond the deception, he'll show how magic, like social media, can be an emotionally powerful disruptor of social convention and perception of reality. Through hilarious mind-reading stunts, audience participation and sleight of mind, Tristan explores the ways our brains sync up, the tricks our mind plays on us and how deeper human connections can be achieved when reality is suspended.
Expect big laughs, big surprises and moments that will leave you questioning reality.
In a world of filters, viral trends and DMs, DM for Deception is proof that magic is no longer about big coats and top hats – it’s challenging what we believe about reality and channelling our uncertainties into deeper human connections.
Suitable for audiences 18+
