Lior Suchard, the Israeli mentalist the international circuit treats as the most in-demand in his profession, is coming to Sofia on January 28, 2027. The show takes place in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture, on an invitation from Fest Team.

Suchard was born in Haifa in 1981 and says he first noticed the signs of what he does today at the age of six. He studied psychology and neurology and took a master's degree at Tel Aviv University - not an accidental CV for a man whose job is to predict what someone will say before they say it. His breakthrough came with a win on Uri Geller's television contest "The Successor", followed by an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2010.

Since then the list of people he has worked in front of has grown more impressive than most musicians' tour histories. He has performed in over seventy countries, and the names in the room have included Barbra Streisand, Bill Gates, Larry King, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Clinton. Streisand, Gates and King have spoken publicly about what he does, and Suchard wrote his own book, "Mind Reader", about how the mind can be steered toward what you want.

The Sofia show is not one you watch from a distance - Suchard pulls the audience into the act, so people from the hall become part of every trick. Tickets run from 66 to 120 euros across the Ticket Station network. For readers in Macedonia planning a winter trip to the Bulgarian capital, this is one of the more interesting nights in Sofia's January calendar.
