More Than a Show, It’s an Experience
This blog post is written from the perspective of The Poldark Show production team, blending the excitement of the 2026 ‘Mind Mysteries’ show with the professional insights of Poldark’s clinical background.
For years, stage hypnosis was defined by loud music and silly gags. In 2026, Poldark is officially closing that chapter. A brand-new show, ‘Mind Mysteries’ represents a sophisticated evolution of the craft.
The New Era of Hypnosis
What to Expect
This isn’t just about people acting like chickens; it’s an exploration of the human psyche. By blending hypnotic induction with mentalism, telepathy and ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), Poldark creates an atmosphere of “mystical intrigue”. Whether it’s through psychometry (reading the history of an object) or ideomotor responses (witnessing the body move via the subconscious), this show is designed to leave you questioning the boundaries of your own mind.
What to expect: A classy, high-production environment featuring velvet drapes, atmospheric lighting and a “kind stage presence” that ensures the mystery is the star of the show.

The Safest Hands in the Business – Why Therapy Matters on Stage
One question we get asked constantly is “will I be safe on stage?” The answer lies in Poldark’s credentials. Unlike many entertainers, Poldark is a qualified Clinical Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist with over 20 years of private practice experience.
This clinical background changes everything about the show. Because Poldark understands the mechanics of the brain, from solution-focused therapy to the ‘fight or flight’ response, he ensures that every volunteer (strictly 18+) has a positive, empowering experience. There is no “undue embarrassment” here. In fact, many of our 2025 volunteers report that being hypnotised by Poldark felt like “the best eight hours of sleep condensed into ten minutes.”
When you step onto our stage, you aren’t just a participant; you are in the care of a professional who treats the mind with the respect it deserves.
What it Takes to Bring ‘Mind Mysteries’ to Your Town
Behind the Curtain – The Logistics of Magic
The Poldark Show doesn’t just happen. It is the result of months of invisible work. Long before the ‘Hand Clasp’ test begins, our production team is hard at work.
- The Venue Hunt: We look for theaters with ‘electric anticipation’ like the Blakehay in Weston-Super-Mare or the Spa Theatre in Bridlington, ensuring the seating allows for an immersive experience.
- The Technical Ritual: Every show involves a rigorous soundcheck. We use specific audio frequencies to help the audience transition into a relaxed, suggestible state.
- The Support Squad: In 2025, we didn’t travel alone. We are proud to feature incredible guest acts, including renowned magician Cavan Booth and mentalist Angus Baskerville, who prime the audience’s imagination before the main event.
The Volunteer’s Journey – From Seat to Spotlight
“I Didn’t Think it Would Work on Me”
The true magic of the Poldark Show happens in the front three rows. Every night, sceptics walk into the theatre and walk out as believers.
The journey begins with a simple Hand Clasp test; a piece of mind-blowing trickery that involves the entire audience, with the most responsive individuals remaining on stage. What follows is a series of ‘Mind Mysteries’ where volunteers find themselves performing feats of telepathy or experiencing surreal sensory shifts.
The best part? You are always in control. Hypnosis is a collaborative process and as Poldark often says, “I don’t do it to you; we do it together.” If you’ve ever wondered what your subconscious is capable of, ‘Mind Mysteries’ is the way to find out.
