An Intimate Evening of Impossible Things

The Asheville Mind Reading Show isn’t just a performance; it’s an interactive experience where you become part of the mystery.
For the past 20+ months, we have been bringing a touch of the impossible to the Story Parlor in West Asheville. Unlike large theater productions where you watch from a distance, this show is designed for intimacy.
With only 40 seats available per month, the magic happens inches from your face and inside your own mind.
It is a unique combination of:
- Mentalism & Mind Reading: See your thoughts revealed in real-time.
- Psychology & Influence: Discover how easily the human mind can be hacked.
- Improvisation & Comedy: No two shows are ever the same.
You will witness stunning demonstrations of memory, influence, mind-to-mind communication, and perhaps a prediction of the future. It is bizarre, hilarious, and unforgettable.
“I’ve toured the world, but there is nothing quite like the energy of a sold-out room in my hometown.”
~Jonathan W. Pritchard, mentalist
The Mind Behind the Mystery: Jonathan W. Pritchard

Jonathan W. Pritchard is an Asheville native who spent the last 20 years touring the globe, performing on main stages, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies.
While he spends his days helping the world’s biggest corporations understand human psychology and communication, his nights are dedicated to breaking the rules of reality.
Jonathan is also a “Techno-Optimist,” author, martial artist, and painter. He creates experiences that challenge what you believe is possible, blending his deep understanding of human behavior with the flair of a world-class showman.
After two decades on the road, Jonathan returned to the Blue Ridge Mountains to raise his family (his wife, daughters, and their cat, Aglet) and to build a unique community event right here at home.
The Venue: Story Parlor

We chose the Story Parlor for a reason. Its cozy, speakeasy atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for a show that relies on connection. There are no bad seats, but there are very few of them.
Because of the limited capacity (40 seats) and our 20-month run, tickets tend to vanish quickly.
