Reviews
“Rob Bailey communes with the spirit world, reads minds, and demonstrates amazing psychic insight, while reminding us that it is, of course, all bullshit. A gently humorous, astonishing and educational show. Rob is one of the honest cheats, and his show is highly recommended.”
Dr. Stephen Law, philosopher and author of ‘Believing Bullshit’.
"Bailey refreshingly ditches paranormal waffle without compromising the air of mystique." Four Stars.

“Imagine a bumbling Derren Brown in a dressing gown and you have Mind-reading for breakfast…Genuinely impressive stunts of psychological detection…”
Three Weeks
“There is much to like about Rob’s show – his easy patter, the appropriate ‘special effects’ and of course the tricks/psychic divinations. Should people go to the show? Most certainly ‘yes’ if they like ‘quiet comedy’… ‘Yes’ if they want… entertainment that will make them laugh – and think. ‘Yes’ if they want to feel part of the show....”

“Rob is a very charismatic and likeable host and a lovely contrast to the smugness of many performance psychics.”
Oxfringe
“{Rob’s} scientific training allied to his natural abilities as a comic make for a very unusual show. Informative and very funny, his presentation is very engaging…”
Oxford Times
"Rob Bailey's show is intelligent entertainment. He demonstrates skills in the supernatural with the use of classical mentalism and makes the audience question whether they believe it's true or cheating.
"Rob is a creative mentalist for sure. There is obviously much great work behind each routine and many of the routines are highly original. Although Rob, with his academic background in psychology, must be analytical and sceptical, there are no condescending comments about dissenters or believers in the supernatural.
"Watch the show and you will certainly be deceived. But who is cheating? The supernatural, or the man who is honest about being dishonest?"
