If you like the busker festival, you’ll love Trevor Poole’s entertaining magic act "Jest in Mind". It’s like watching a talented busker who doesn’t fill the first three quarters of the act with hollow come-ons, and doesn’t constantly hassle you for money. The premise of the act is that Poole can pull thoughts from the minds of audience members, and truth be told, I lay awake last night trying to work out how he executed some of his tricks. (It’s particularly confounding when he manages to name correctly more than a dozen cards hidden from view by audience members.) His patter is entertaining and there are quite a few laughs to go along with the “oohs” and “ahs” of amazement.
