His astonishing skills of deduction will blow your guests away as he reveals private thoughts and knows seemingly impossible information.​So what is mindreading? If you love Derren Brown then Forster is the next best thing. Just like Derren, Forster does not have unusual powers, 'the gift' or psychic ability, although after seeing him perform, you would think he does. If you want to ensure your guests are talking about your wedding, corporate event or party for years to come then contact Paul now and he will provide you with a unique and entertaining experience you and your guests never forget. ​Paul is also an experienced stage performer and one half of the duo Forster & Smith. Together they have toured the North of England with their 2 man show and most notably held a residency at one of Yorkshire's top hotels with their take on 1920s parlour shows.​On a darker note, Paul also runs the popular Harrogate Ghost Walk and performs Victorian seances at some of the most haunted places around the UK. This recreation of a traditional parlour show will scare the hell out of you and entertain you in equal measure.
