Psychic Designs: Bending spoons or telling you about the future, both come easily for Ehud Segev.

Mentalizer Mesmerizes
WEDNESDAY NIGHT at the F-bar. Patrons are amused to find that the spoons are bent and there's actually a guy in the pub bending them. Looks like a scene from The Matrix where a little girl bends a spoon and then tells Keanu Reeves that the spoon itself is an illusion.
But in this case, the spoons are for real. How did the solid metal spoons bend as if they were putty? No clue.

Ehud Segev:
"The New Horatio Alger"
Ehud Segev, 24, loves this country. He is a talented sophisticated young actor, performer, entertainer and... mentalizer, as well.
He is a new star, a member of a new tribe of people who see America as their new social frontier. They were Americanized before they became newcomers to this universal continent, the "new world." They espoused the American values, they are the new Horatio Algers, they want to be famous, to be distinguished, they are highly motivated. Certainly the "Arnold Syndrome" in California has enriched their dreams: America means immigrants, immigrants mean America (Oscar Henolin!)... Click here for the full article
