The Child Who Knew Too Much
Joe began this life-long obsession at a very early age. Raised in an exclusive metaphysical community, by a psychic, tarot-card-reading mother, and surrounded by people exhibiting any number of metaphysical ‘talents;’ Joe mastered each and every one of them. From reading tarot cards, to rune stones, to graphology (handwriting analysis) to psychometry (a type of psychic energy-reading done on one’s personal belongings); Joe was known early to be the child prodigy of his community.
Having mastered the methods of the psychics of his community at an early age, it wasn’t long before this brilliant boy had seen through their superstitious belief systems. Joe was already exhibiting powerful skills of observation and deduction, and soon realized he’d mastered specific methods that said ‘psychics’ employ, even if the psychics, themselves, never claimed to employ any scientific methodology at all. Rather, psychics give credit for their predictions and proclamations to a special connection with the spiritual realm, and prey on the weak and the grieving; which is something that never sat well with a young man of such character and mental prowess. Joe was as frighteningly good at displaying the arts - and the sciences - of any of these metaphysical ‘gifts’ as any of the psychics, but he understood the science and the methods behind what he was doing. Having an eidetic memory didn’t hurt his early mastery, either. Though he denies all existence of ‘psychic power,’ he does believe in the quantum universal connections to which our minds all have access, and other noetic sciences, but audiences of thousands continue to protest, otherwise, and claim he’s in denial of his ‘real’ psychic powers!
“The Real Sherlock Holmes”
If you ask Joe, he’ll tell you it was his lifelong obsession with Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, that gave him the inspiration to become the closest thing to the beloved fictional character, in existence. Joe spent a good part of his life mastering, among his vast array of other skills, the art of advanced deduction, and has the ability to gain a wealth of information about a person with what seems like just a glance. He has, in fact, been repeatedly dubbed, “The Real Sherlock Holmes.” The truth is that the mixed mastery of his innumerable skills have combined to create the closest thing to a mind-reader that actually exists. Next, Joe dove deeper into his more academic studies in psychology. He mastered Neuro Linguistic Programming (and is literally a Certified Master, several times, over), as well as the powers of suggestion, instant induction hypnosis, and the art of persuasion. Joe was quickly moving into the field most commonly known as Mentalism, yet the term is almost a misnomer for Joe.
Usually, a Mentalist is a performer who simply displays the illusion of the talents with which Joe has been, unusually. gifted. He realized that he could actually do what most Mentalists only pretended to be able to do! Recognizing his unlimited mental potential, Joe focused his energy on creating his unique brand of Mentalism; which incorporates powerful aspects of Neuro Linguistic Programming, instant induction hypnosis, deductive reasoning, reading of physical and linguistic cues, a deep knowledge of human behaviour, and the use of advanced suggestion to create a captivating, jaw-dropping, performance art.

Matt Laffey said… I keep on forgetting that The Sherlock Holmes Social Network is an alternative to FB and other virtual communities. It's really too bad more Sherlockians and Sher-fans don't make use of Scott Monty's excellent little virtual Sherlock community - would be so nice to avoid using FB on a daily basis and still be able to talk a little about SH.
