Doug Segal

"Doug is the most exciting of the new breed of contemporary British “Mind Readers” “Mind Magicians” or “Psychological Entertainers” but is probably best marked out as being the only one with a sense of humour."

Following on from his sell out show last year Doug is back with his show in Edinburgh this year called Doug Segal: How to read Minds and Influence People.  The show has been described as ‘A show that leaves people open mouthed with astonishment and on their feet’ by the Edinburgh Evening News.  The show last year very positive reviews some even rewarding it 5 stars.

His show starts on the 2^nd of August at 19:00 and is running up until the last date of the festival on the 27^th.

It is 14+ and is an hour long at the gilded balloon. 

Here is the overview from the edfringe website

According to his official website ‘’Doug is not a magician, clairvoyant or a hypnotist, everything he does is achieved though application of principles learned in his previous career spent working in Advertising Agencies: Persuasion techniques, statistics, insight into the way people think and make decisions, along with those two key advertising skills – Cheating and Lying.’’
