New Oil Painting

Thursday, December 12th, 2002

I’ve just received the most delightful email from Toni-Lee Sangastiano, who is currently working on an oil painting of me in a casual shirt swallowing a sword. I was privileged enough to get a sneak preview, and even got permission to share this remarkable artwork with you. Mind you, she is adamant that I make it known that it’s not yet finished (those finicky artists…), and it’s even still on the easel in the photo! So, it’s not done, and this is just a preview. I didn’t even realign the image in Photoshop, lest a bit here and there got left out. Email and let me know what you think of it. I’ll share your comments with Toni-Lee as well! Now, on to the painting!

New Mentalism Routines Successful!

Sunday, December 8th, 2002

The test run of some mental material last night during the hypnosis show went extremely well, and Steve Taubman and myself are continuing to routine and fine-tune the mentalism show. This is going to be a show of phenomenally mind-blowing material. A must see.

Personal Record Broken!

Wednesday, December 4th, 2002

Personal record broken and goal achieved! Okay, so this is a bit of personal information and appears here primarily because of my enthusiasm and excitement for it, but I have finally reached my goal of being able to memorize an entire deck of randomly shuffled cards in under ten seconds! You can be certain that this feat will begin appearing in my show very soon. Now if only I could remember where I put my coffee…

Memory Training Seminar

Sunday, December 1st, 2002

Roderick is pleased to announce that he will be applying his knowledge of memory, learning and mnemonics in a corporate training seminar environment. Using his research into the history and development of memory system and his actual practical application and demonstrations on stage, Roderick is able to offer a complete half day or full day seminar in memory training and improvement techniques. Participants will see live demonstrations of mega-memory, learn the history of mnemonics, develop an understanding of the biological principles at work in the human brain during the functions of attention, retention and recall and, best of all, walk away with practical techniques to enhance their own memories!

Actual hands-on work will allow participants to increase their memory dramatically and easily by the end of the seminar, allowing them to immediately put into practice their newly developed skills!

An easy and entertaining curriculum make these seminars not only practical and beneficial, but fun and exciting as well.
