What if there were a show that took place entirely in your mind?
MINDWARP
In the following pages, you will find more information about a presentation that
will make your next event fun, memorable, and talked about for a long time.
Don Marlette's show "MINDWARP" explores the impossible with fun, startling,
and mindbending results. Now you can bring him to YOUR next event!
What happens?
Don presents a fast-paced, fun, and amazing presentation that deals with the
hidden abilities of the human mind, exploring mindreading, ESP, and a few
surprises in between!
Audiences amaze themselves when encouraged to manifest their own mental
powers; they experience the techniques of lie detection, deja vu (dreams of the
future), perceiving secrets in a criminal's handwriting, and more in a fast, fresh,
and funny show suitable for any adult audience.
Every performance features Don's unique ability to empower the latent abilities
of his audience. Participants from the audience have amazing experiences,
sensing and feeling objects, sounds, and people in a manner they never thought
possible. Others merely focus on a random thought and, with incredible
perception and astonishing accuracy, Don provides tasteful and humorous
descriptions and revelations of those secret memories, dreams, wishes, and
aspirations.
Why is Don Marlette unique?
While most speakers tell you about the powers of the mind and what they can
do for you, Don will actually SHOW you! Don Marlette demonstrates the
mysteries of the human mind in ways that will leave your audience astounded
and talking for months! No sappy, boring, recycled motivational lectures or a
magic show. Just a whole lot of fun!
Audiences can expect to have their perceptions challenged in an open and
engaging manner and will be treated to humor that ranges from quick wit to
situational hilarity, plus everything in between! Often the material will be
personalized for the client to allow a more rapid establishment of rapport with
the audience.
My purpose is to present mind-opening concepts that entertain, inform, and
motivate, presented in a professional, fun and friendly fashion - with just a touch
of irreverence.
Typical performances run 40 to 60 minutes but I remain flexible so as to trim or
extend the performance - on the spot - to fit the client's need for timing an event.
Audience participation!
Audience members become the stars of the show as they participate in fun
demonstrations of thought transference. As they concentrate on numbers,
words, and other items, Don correctly identifies their thoughts!
Thinking of a movie? Don can tell you not only the name, but the
very scene you are thinking of! Thinking of a person? He goes
beyond the person's name to their hair color, eye color, height, and
even personality! During any given show, Don will come up to
random audience members and tell them all about themselves. Anything can
(and just might!) happen!
The Group Thought-Reading Experiment.
This exciting experiment has been attempted by only a handful of people around
the world! Don invites everyone in the room to concentrate on questions and
information specific and personal to them, and he attempts to connect with the
thoughts of everyone in the room.
Seven Reasons to bring Don Marlette to your next event:
1. Prepared
I confirm all details in writing and arrive early enough to
perform well before I'm scheduled to begin.
2. Flexible
When scheduling changes arise during an event, I can
adjust my presentation accordingly.
3. Approachable I mingle and talk with people before and after my act. I
love great conversation!
4. Affordable
I work with you to provide the best entertainment within
your budget.
5. Safe
None of my material is shocking or controversial.
6. Respectful
Every person is treated with dignity and respect.
7. Efficient
I don't waste your time with boring lectures or
explanations; I get right to the good stuff!

What are audiences saying about Don Marlette?
(This a sampling of what you'll find in the TOP SECRET FILE!)
“Don was very entertaining and gave a great performance during our company
holiday party. Our employees loved the show and were excited to have
something different than your average holiday entertainment. Don was amazing
and made a great connection with his audience. He did a great job engaging
everyone; there wasn’t a bad seat in the house! I would highly recommend him
for any of your events, big or small, Don is a guaranteed hit!”
-IIW Architects and Engineers, LLC

The Best Experience You Can Have
SEE the power of concentration at work, creating vivid, memorable images that
your audience will never forget. You'll remember this show a lot longer than the
rubber chicken you had for dinner or the inebriated interpretation of "YMCA" the
guys from accounting did last year.
HEAR the amazed gasps and delighted laughter of your audience as they
experience the time of their lives.
FEEL the excitement as your audience begins to realize their OWN hidden
potential. Don involves the entire audience and focuses the spotlight on the
wonderful abilities of each individual.
KNOW that you have made the right decision when you bring Don Marlette to
your event.
RELAX . . . you're in the hands of an experienced, professional entertainer!
Just a Mind Reader?
No way!
What about Hypnosis?
Read on...
The Power of Suggestion
Not your typical hypnosis show!
What is this about?
Hypnotists are a dime a dozen these days. Although Don can present a
masterful hypnosis show, he has developed something completely DIFFERENT.
NO hypnosis, NO "going under"....but the same results!
What happens?
Don uses the POWER OF SUGGESTION, an intricately designed set of
keywords, commands and subtle language patterns, that work on the
participants on stage to have them do amazing things, from sticking to their
chair, forgetting their names, or even seeing things that aren't there!
But Don brings it one step further... Don will only THINK of actions for
participants to do...AND THEY WILL DO THEM! Again, it's all about subtle
patterns that he has developed over years of research and experience. And the
results are staggering!
Is this part of the mindreading show?
Yes...and no. The "MINDWARP" show is an act in itself running 60-90 minutes
in length. The "Power of Suggestion" show also runs about 60 minutes.
The POWER OF SUGGESTION show can be a second part of an incredible
and unforgettable 2-hour experience! Your guests be amazed at Don's
incredible mindreading abilities and power of thought perception, AND they will
be treated to a mind-blowing demonstration of the POWER OF SUGGESTION!
If you have time constraints and still want both parts for your event, Don can
combine these two shows in a way that works with your timeframe.
The POWER OF SUGGESTION could also be an act in itself, so you could
choose to hire Don only for the POWER OF SUGGESTION show.

"Tired of those boring office parties at the holidays?
You MUST book Don Marlette!
His shows are amazing, and everyone is entertained. We have seen Don
entertain at many different venues, and each show has been entirely different.
He blows us away every time! Dave was freaked out when Don picked up a
spoon from the table and bent it with his mind - seriously!
Don is such a nice guy, has a quirky humor, and will spice up any party. Book
him, and you will be hooked!"

Don Marlette performed gallery readings at my healing center in Cedar Rapids.
He was very punctual and professional. He offered this the entire weekend on a
donation basis, which allowed people who were new to this to experience it
without pressure. He brings in very accurate messages with a nice blend of
humor. The public was very receptive to the messages and declared that he was
very good at what he does. Several people brought more friends to join the next
day. He also encouraged people to play an intuitive game, which gave them the
knowing that they can develop their intuition as well. Don is highly
recommended for any types of readings and is welcome at my healing center at
anytime.
- Michelle Stafford, owner, Illuminations Healing Arts Center
Don entertained over 40 people at our house on New Year's Eve, and kept
everyone involved for an hour and a half. We are constantly receiving
comments about his amazing performance. I could not give Don a better
recommendation: he was superb and worth every penny!
-John Grimes
Private Party Host
Don entertained a large group of friends at our home. He surprised the
audience with a mixture of mind-reading, card magic, and intuition. We were
surprised by what he was able to figure out about those in the audience.
It was intriguing and we all had a lot of fun. Don was a true professional during
his performance. He was relaxed and connected well with the audience. His
card tricks were amazing. It was a memorable evening.

I had the pleasure of attending Don Marlette's show at a local theatre. As
someone who has attended multiple similar gatherings I had high expectations
and Don did not disappoint. He was funny and truly amazing in the way he used
audience participation to involve everyone. His skills shown in being able to
read minds,share his sense of humor and most of all to make sure his show was
entertaining and fun. He is down to earth and honest which make him
someone who is easy to relate to. I would recommend if you have the chance to
see his show to take it. You wont be disappointed.

I have to tell you, yours was one of the BEST shows I've ever seen and it was
an awesome gift for my 50th birthday party. Months later, my family and I still
talk about it. It was Interesting, entertaining and eerily accurate. Most of us were
very skeptical of your performance at first...but as the show went on you
managed to amaze us all and win over even the most reluctant believers.
Knowing what food my sister had stashed in her purse is still amazing us to this
day! (It was pistachios).
So if you are looking for a recommendation, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend
you . Anyone that wishes to contact me can do so . I would be glad to tell them
in person what an amazing experience we had with you.
Sincerely,
Kathy Yudys
