? Peter Antoniou: Comedium by Naomi O’Leary ? How does one end up being a psychic-comedian? “I was just a very weird child,” says Peter Antoniou. “I got people to pick a black card or a red card, to see if I could influence which one they picked. And I could. Then I thought, if I can put things in people’s minds, perhaps I can take things out.” It seems to be working. His shows paid his way through university, from which he graduated just last year. Yet for a psychic of such impressive powers, Peter is not spooky at all. People seem to be drawn to him, warmed by his self-deprecating humour and wry wit. He picks the toughest customers in the crowd to demonstrate his abilities. Steve is a bulky train driver who barks out responses in a gravelly baritone. Alex is a Scottish weather forecaster, which has to grind a man’s enthusiasm down.

This was posted by an audience member on the review site www.broadwaybaby.com about the Thought Thief 2.0 show:   "I went to this show almost by accident with a few hours to kill before work, and bizarrely, out of anything else I've seen at the fringe, it has ended up being the performance that has made the biggest impression on me. I'll admit right now that I am usually a complete cynic and a skeptic when it comes to this type of psychic display, and usually only go to them to try and spot the exact point at which the "mind reader" attempts to plant whatever it is they fancy in whoever's mind. But this was totally different. It's a bit silly how dumbstruck I was really. It also helped that Mr. Antoniou managed not to take himself too seriously, the juxtaposition of his friendly demeanour and his mental capabilites only adding to just how impressive his show is. In this respect he certainly outstrips many of his decidedly grim mind-reading counterparts who regularly grace our TV screens. All in all the most thoroughly freaky AND entertaining hour I have spent in Edinburgh this month :D FIVE STARS"   ??
