Although what Bill Gladwell does is sometimes viewed as true psychic ability, he is really using his skills as a hypnotist combined with NLP, suggestion, psychology, directed awareness, and showmanship to create the illusion of a sixth sense. Bill will stand in front of you and seemingly pull thoughts directly from your mind, predict what you'll say before it comes out of your mouth, and read you like an open book. You will walk away from his show with an amazing, lifelong memory. « less

Super entertainment in an intimate theater. We'll worth the price. The guy debunks psychics and puts on a great show.

Your caption to this review reminded of one of my favorite movies... "Best In Show". Thank you for the review and for choosing to come to my show. There are a lot of things in the area to do, and I appreciate that you chose to come to my performance. Successfully, Bill Gladwell More

This was an entertaining show. My husband and I attended with our 5 children (ages 10-17). Two of our boys got to participate in the show. The entire family enjoyed it. This was one of the best shows for the value in the Gatlinburg area. We will attend on our next visit.

The Mentalist show in Gatlinburg is extremely entertaining and beyond belief. Bill Gladwell is amazing. There's no way any of this was staged or rigged because the participants were selected by other members of the audience and not by Bill. The show is a huge value compared to the price of other shows in the area.

We saw the show last night and our family of 5 - my husband and myself (40 - 50s) two college aged sons, and 15 yo my daughter all enjoyed ourselves. It's hard to find much that entertains the whole family and even my notoriously critical and hard to please sons liked this show. It really did make me shake... More

Thank you so much for coming to the show. This weekend with Eric Dittelman from America's Got Talent doing a guest spot was an extra bonus. I am glad we could please your "notoriously critical and hard to please sons". That means a lot. Mentalism really is a mixture of art and science with some statistics and knowledge of human... More

Now a few of his "tricks" we figured out. Others still have us stumped,,,probably always will. This guy is HUGELY entertaining and there is a reason he is the number one draw in Gatlinburg right now. The venue is VERY small; something like 50-60 seats and this makes for a very comfortable, cozy environment. You do not want to miss... More

90 seats... That's how many we have in the theater. You are right... It does make for a very comfortable, cozy environment. The theater is just the right size to connect with everyone in the audience. Thank you for the review and for choosing my show over all the other options in the Gatlinburg area.

I got free tix for this show.. With no idea who the performer even is.. Never heard of him.. The show was ok for someone interested in mediocre parlor tricks but lacked the well-rounded quality of a real working mentalist. Btw Gerry McCamridge in Vegas has dubbed the rightful name "The Mentalist" into a real quality show for nearly 10... More

I am unable to offer an intelligent response to this review. The first line gives it away... "I got free tix for this show." If someone receives complimentary (free) tickets, they must still be on the audience roster at the theater door. If your name is not on the roster, then you are denied access to the theater. This is... More

Bill Gladwell's Headcase show in Gatlinburg at the Iris Theater was one of the most AMAZING shows I have ever seen. It was very entertaining and mind boggling all at the same time. I highly recommend anyone going to Gatlinburg to attend this show, you will be glad you made the choice!!!

Took my 13 yr old son. Small intimate setting. Up close with Bill. TIP - get there 25 min early and stand at the door (inside amusement park under the Gatlinburg Skytower) so you can sit - and stare in amazement - on the front row. Even if you (think) you can figure out how he does this stuff the... More

It is great to know that my show was the best time you spent in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Area. I appreciate it. There is not a bad seat in the house, but the front row is the best place to be. Thank you for choosing my show as well as for the review. Successfully, Bill Gladwell More
