James Biss is a Canadian writer, theatrical creator, teacher and mentalist whose work has been presented across five continents. He has spent three decades professionally studying how people are persuaded, deceived, and astonished — which makes him, he admits, a natural Sherlockian. His books, Messing With Minds and Mind Blowing, are both acclaimed works within the world of mentalism. His theatrical productions — The Demon Haunted Cottage, Mental Telepathy for Dummies, The Ghost Experience, Lies, Damn Lies & Magic Tricks, and Mysteries & Lies have challenged audiences to question what they perceive, remember, and believe. Like Holmes, he has retired to the country, caring for every imaginable creature - except bees. (Unlike Holmes). “The colour will always be Orange.” -Winston Smith
