Rory Raven

Mentalist & Mindbender

Look Deep Deep Deep Into My Eyes ...

Greetings!
Welcome to the Theater of the Mind.
I am Rory Raven, Your Host.

I am a mentalist with over a dozen years' experience reading minds and astonishing audiences. Neither a psychic nor a magician, I offer a new and compelling kind of entertainment unlike anything you've ever seen. With a few simple props (paper and pencil, a pack of playing cards, some paperback books, and the thoughts of some volunteers) I involve the audience in a highly unusual -- and unusually entertaining! -- experience. Thoughts are revealed, predictions come true, and perhaps even the spirits are summoned ....

My knowledge of mind-reading and the inner workings of the mind also allows me to present remarkable lecture-demonstrations on psychic phenomena, famous mental prodigies and what you can learn from them, and even on examining extraordinary claims to distinguish fact from fantasy. These talks are fun, interactive, and focus on what's real and practical without the nonsense, made-up jargon, and psychobabble.

I love a good ghost story -- and who doesn't? This has led me to organize the Providence Ghost Walk, a seasonal walking tour through the haunted history of Providence, Rhode Island. Come take a walk on the spooky side and you'll find out that Providence is just a little stranger than you think! I also offer "real" history tours for those who prefer a somewhat more traditional approach.

NEWS! "Haunted Providence" has arrived. Yes, I am now literally the man who wrote the book on Providence ghosts. I am currently lining up a series of book signings; stay tuned. For now, you may order a copy here.

So please look around and enjoy yourself; I'm always happy to hear from you, so please feel free to drop me a line at rory@roryraven.com.
