Toni Bright (Elche).
Magician of the mind, as he likes to define himself, has offered in the last 10 years more than 1,000 shows throughout Spain with his telepathy numbers, of moving objects without touching them, of bending spoons.
I confess that it forces me to interview you. It is not every day that you talk to a person who has the ability to control the minds of others ... Well, half jokingly half seriously, those who control the minds of others the most are the media. You define yourself as a "magician of the mind." What does that mean? The mind wizard, the mentalist, is the person who uses suggestion, social skills, psychology, non-verbal communication and all of that to put on a show where he does incredible things like bending spoons. or forks, telepathy numbers and even impossible predictions. The telepathy thing, for example. How is he able to guess the number, the word or the drawing that a person puts on paper? If I told him it would not be funny, it would be like making a movie spoiler.What I like is that the people who come to my shows enjoy themselves, have a good time and, above all, that they come out with a smile from ear to ear. If I'm not mistaken, in his shows he uses, among others, the techniques of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), which they say is something like the nuclear physics of the mind. Are we really that predictable? Yes, the truth is that we are all quite predictable. Human beings tend to move all by the same stimuli, and therefore we can become quite predictable. If working with a series of psychological tools can read our minds because most of us are predictable, that could have enormous applications outside the world of magic, right? Yes. But as it is said in the movie ofhave a good time and, above all, that he comes out with a smile from ear to ear.

Spiderman
, all great power requires great responsibility. Besides, one cannot be reading people's minds all day either, you would go crazy. You also want to disconnect. As much as you like work, as is my case, you need to disconnect and be a bit normal. But perhaps those who are not mentalists could take advantage of these psychological tools to dive into the minds of others ... Yes. What happens is that, like all great power, if it falls into the wrong hands, it is bad. Whoever has this power has to know how to use it responsibly, because the truth is that you can know really amazing things about people, things that not everyone has to know. This is like the confession secret. Because who keeps a secret? A priest and a mentalist are the two people who always keep secrets.Do you know if there are politicians or businessmen who have tried to learn the techniques that you master? Yes. Indeed, there are many people who are dedicated to the world of politics who, for example, have studied non-verbal communication and psychology, because for them they are very important subjects. I think that the people at the top, the great politicians, would have to study these things, because with these techniques they can get, for example, many more voters, they can suggest people to vote for their party, etc. How scary, right? Undoubtedly. As I said before, if these powers fall into the wrong hands, into bad arts, imagine what can happen ... In general, do we use our mental capacities little? Little or nothing. And I think that if everyone applied them a little more, we would be much better off.I even think that people would feel much more comfortable with themselves, which is the important thing in life. That and be happy. Have you ever gotten a wrong number, haven't you been able to figure out that number the other person was thinking of? Thank God not for now, and I hope it never happens to me. But hey, even if something goes wrong, there is always an exit B or D, there are always many exits. The good thing is that if during a show you do something different from what was planned, the audience does not realize, they do not realize that you have changed something. The only one who notices is you, the one who has created so many exits. Are there people who go to your shows trying to catch you, discover your tricks? Yes. In fact, it's the people I like the most: skeptics. Sometimes I take them out on stage and when they see what happened,that for example I could read their minds or how the cutlery was folded, then they return to their place, to their armchair, with their mouths open, saying: "It is incredible what I have seen." These are the people I like the most to surprise because they are the ones who have the best time. And how did you give up for becoming a mentalist? As a child, I really liked mentalism. I would sit with my father on the couch, in front of the television, and we would watch the mentalists bend spoons, forks, keys ... They did really amazing things. I remember one night, on television, I saw a mentalist put a glass on a table, and the glass exploded. That night I was left without sleep, wondering how I would have done it. That was surely the beginning of Toni Bright. Are you born a mentalist, with gifts and abilities, or do you become a mentalist? Both.You are born wanting to learn, wanting to be a mentalist. And you become a mentalist by training yourself, in my case, in a self-taught way, reading books, seeing a lot of things that I cannot count because they are
top secret
... And little by little you are learning, you are adding, every day a little more. Why do we need magic? Because magic is illusion. If one day they took away the magic, I think we would live in a pretty sad world. We are all quite off because of the mask issue, without us seeing smiles, so that on top of that they take away the magic. Has the coronavirus pandemic made us need magic even more? Yes, without a doubt. People need to see things that motivate them, that encourage them, such as magic and illusion. It is a pity that much more magic is not programmed in the theaters, because people, both children and adults as well as the elderly, everyone, wants to see magic, everyone wants to be excited. There should be more shows of that type, especially today, with the theme of Covid,so that people get excited and for an hour or so they forget practically everything bad. Those of Estopa, Leo Harlem and many other celebrities speak wonders of you. Have you psychologically manipulated them into going through the roof? I do not manipulate, all I do is excite, it is what I do. I leave it to other people to manipulate. I simply hope that people come out with their mouths open, with wide eyes and above all with magic, which is what we need. If you weren't a mentalist, what would you do? Well, surely, to the world of footwear. I am from Elche, and here in Elche the footwear industry is very, very strong, here practically everyone is dedicated to that. I suppose you intend to continue as the mentalist for many, many years, right? No, not many years, a lifetime.I hope to continue like this because it is what really fills me up. Sometimes you are not filled with the money that you can earn, but the smiles that you can generate. I suppose that becoming a good mentalist requires many hours of rehearsal, of practicing .... Yes. A game can take you not minutes, not hours, not days, not weeks, not months, but even years. There are games, for example, that I have in mind for years and in the end, after several, is when they really see the light. When you are going to release a new game, you always have to look at all the conditions, study everything that can happen to you. You have to take everything very, very, very studied so that it comes out perfect. Is it difficult to find new tricks? Well the truth is that all this is a lot of improvisation, taking from here, taking from there ... At the end of the day it is not that you have many tricks,the quantity does not matter, but the important thing is the quality. I don't think you need to have a hundred tricks, with maybe 30 good ones you can do shows your whole life. Show off your mentalism and tell me what number you are going to win in the El Niño drawing ... Can you keep a secret? Yes, of course. I also. That is why I am not telling you.
