			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>PHILIP ESCOFFEY: 6 IMPOSSIBLE THINGS BEFORE DINNER</h2>
<p><a href="http://jeremymeadow.com/jml/current.asp?showid=37" target="_blank"><img src="http://skeptic.org.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/6impossible.jpg" alt="Philip Escoffey" width="200" height="216" /></a></p>
<p>Mind reading. It’s just not possible, is it?</p>
<p>Maverick showman PHILIP ESCOFFEY will challenge what you believe to be true – live. Although he has never met you, can this stranger really know you better than you know yourself?</p>
<p>“F**ck me!” – Jeremy Clarkson<br />
“F**CK ME!!” – Gordon Ramsay</p>
<p>What interests Philip is not whether people can read minds or not (as luck would have it, it seems he can!), nor even how they do it, but what the rational – perhaps even cynical &#8211; mind does in the face of an irrefutable demonstration… and why some minds don’t even seem to need that!</p>
<p>SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS BEFORE DINNER has been especially created to make the audience challenge one huge thing: what they fundamentally believe is possible. Philip has spent the last eight years travelling the world, leaving the rich and the royal intrigued (and occasionally embarrassingly clingy) and now, for the first time ever, presents live on stage his unique, exuberant and astonishing findings. Don’t miss this opportunity to let mind reading’s enfant terrible change your life.</p>
<p>Mind-boggling, baffling &#8211; and utterly compelling.</p>
<p>Tickets for preview shows at Theatre 503 and the Pleasance only £5</p>
