Luke Jermay has always been one of my favorite thinkers and performers. The way our art moves through him and the depth of his understanding has consistently remained light years ahead of what most others were thinking, feeling and doingHaving spent ample time in the company of Jermay over the years I can easily say the man and his work continue to excel in rather severe, intense, dramatic, bold, beautiful, compelling and utterly remarkable feats of mind reading, hypnosis and psychic entertainment. Faith Healer, his latest offering, is no exception to this rule and comes with a caveat…there is serious potential for harm and abuse inherent within this and I would assume, if misused, certain legal ramifications as well.
Luke Jermay has succeeded in bridging the gap between contemporary mentalism, bizarre magick, faith healing and popular religious traditions in one fell swoop.
Luke Jermay has succeeded in bridging the gap between contemporary mentalism, bizarre magick, faith healing and popular religious traditions in one fell swoop. Were one to follow along closely and approach this material with an open mind, he would successfully bear witness to the revitalization of modern mentalism and watch first hand as one of the world’s foremost experts and exponents of the craft does what he does best…and not only that, he or she would arrive on the other side a more careful and caring performer, much closer to Luke’s own understanding, and armed with what may well be one of the most powerful and positively affecting pieces of mentalism currently in existence. That magical traditions, healing and spirituality should all come full circle and meet again in Luke’s capable and competent hands should come as no surprise to anyone. If anyone can do it, it’s this guy and he pulls it off excruciatingly well!
