Mentalism is a genre of magic. Unlike the sleight of hand, it uses the sleight of mind to give the audience the illusion that the performer can read their minds. In his virtual interactive mind-reading show, Pillow Talk, Khan will combine behavioural psychology, astute observations, linguistic suggestions and good old-fashioned 'magic' to seemingly read minds and influence thought.

"I will use mentalism as a tool to tell a story and take my audience through a journey. The intention is not to tell people, 'Hey, I can read your mind.' Instead, it is to help them explore what their minds are capable of. They will connect with strangers in ways they never thought was possible. Pillow Talk will feature unfiltered and uninhibited conversations," emphasises Khan. He adds that he will create the illusion of reading the most private thoughts on the audience's minds with their consent.

"It can be unsettling for people to imagine that an outsider is privy to their private thoughts. So, the first step is to put them at ease. I don't read past what they don't want me to. I tell my audiences to approach a mentalism show the same way they would approach a Christopher Nolan film. There will be bits that will blow your mind. But don't watch it just for those punches; watch it for the entire journey," he signs off.
