Mental! Luke Jermay Is No More In Vegas

Ladies and gents, prepare your best sad faces for we have some deeply depressing news to impart: Luke Jermay has left the Strip.

Not only that, but he’s left Vegas and returned to Blighty. So much for the British invasion (although to be fair we’ve still got Matt Goss and Tom Lowe and, um, if we must, Robin Leach.

What we’re really sad about though is seeing another good magic(ish) show hit the dust. We really liked Mental and much as we love O’Sheas, we think it’s a poorer place without it.

Come on people, let’s support freaky Vegas. Everyone go out and see a magic show this weekend because it's starting to feel like every time you clap for a Cirque show, a mindreader/magician/contortionist dies. Just make sure it’s not Believe.

Luke Jermay Is No More (At O'Sheas At Least)

Sad news coming from O’Sheas’ (even sadder than the man who once vomited on our bar seat when we went to the bathroom): Luke Jermay has closed.

We had an email from a reader on Friday saying that she’d heard that it was the last day for Mind Reader (aka Mental) and Dirty Minds that night.

One of their sites says this is the first stage of their "move". Was the show canceled and do you know where Luke Jermay is moving to?

End of the 'Mental Goes Free' Saga (Upshot: It's Not Free)

Well we seem to have a definitive answer (for now, at least) on the ‘are there still free tickets to Luke Jermay’s show at O’Sheas’ question. And the answer is no. No there aren’t.

After we asked WTF was going on on Friday, O’Sheas twittered us to say that regular tickets are $44.95, but you can get them from the box office for $20 (including two free drinks). How to get the deal? Either with a coupon (good luck finding one) or, they say, “just mention 'free drinks deal'”.

Not Even Luke Jermay Seems to Know What's Going On With Luke Jermay's Show

Anyone know what’s going on with Luke Jermay down at O’Sheas? Because your guess is pretty much as good as ours at the moment.

Mental appears to have had its name changed to Mind Reader. According to the website, it runs at 8pm, as it has since the going free scam controversy.

Only thing is, when we decided to go the weekend before last, and dispatched our date to go pick up the free vouchers (at 7.30pm), he told us that there were no voucher girls, and the casino folk told him the show had started at 7pm. Which means either he wanted to stand us up, or the people down there are in a proper bugger’s muddle.

Coupons, Yes, But A Box Office That's Still Charging $53: Why That Doesn't Make Mental A Free Show

The saga continues...

OK-so. After we pointed out yesterday that Mental is not a free show, as the people behind it have been saying, Anthony Cools tweeted us to say that in order to get your free ticket, there are two sexy school girls standing at the entrance to O’Sheas, handing out coupons to everyone who walks in between 6-8pm, when the show starts.

Obviously, we had to go check this out. We swung by at 7pm to find a girl dressed like an extra in Dr Zhivago handing out coupons for Matsuri (free buffet if you buy a VIP ticket, wotevs) and Vinnie Favorito (2-for-1). No sign of schoolgirls, sexy or otherwise.

Mental's Newest 'Trick' is to Mislead You About Free Show Tix

File this under "Nothing, we repeat nothing, is free in Vegas."

UPDATE 3pm: Anthony Cools has twittered us saying that there are two schoolgirls at the door of the casino handing out coupons to everyone who walks in. Anyone seen this? Let us know. Still doesn't make it a free show though

If there’s one thing we hate, hate, hate, it’s when the good guys let us down. So this morning we’re fuming in two directions - at O’Sheas, and at hypnotist Anthony Cools.

We’ve always been fans of both. We’ve shown love to O’Sheas despite having once had someone vomit over our seat when we made a quick bathroom trip. We also think Anthony Cools’ show is v funny, and he has a talent for bringing other shows to the Strip that we have also loved, like Mental and our much-lamented Freaks.

Mental Goes Free, And You'd Be Mental Not To See It

Looks like everyone’s favorite tattooed English mindreader on the Strip Luke Jermay is trying to confuse us. First there was the announcement of his new show, Dirty Thoughts. Then Anthony Cools, who produces the show, kept tweeting about big changes to Mental, but every time we asked the O’Sheas O’Sheas lot, they professed total ignorance.

Anyway, now we know what the change was – and it’s a good one. Instead of charging $49 for tickets, it’s now free. Yes – an hour of a brilliant show (that we’ve been saying that you should go see since August, as it happens) for free.

Luke Jermay's New Show Will Expose Your Dirty Thoughts

Where: 3555 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109

More Brits taking over Vegas news: if you believe Twitter, Essex boy and mindreader Luke Jermay is starting a new show in addition to Mental. This one is still at O’Sheas, and it’s more of the mindreading, except of a slightly more x-rated nature.

According to Jermay’s promoter, the original filthy hypnotist Anthony Cools, It’s called Dirty Thoughts and started on Wednesday at 8.30pm. And, as you’d expect from the name, the show consists of Jermay doing “x-rated mindreading.”

This Man Will Actually Read Your Mind (We Think.)

So you’re in Vegas. You want to see some magic. But you don’t want to get landed with a cheesefest like Xtreme Magic and you’d rather tweeze your own fingernails out than spend money on Criss Angel. What to do?

May we suggest you try a slightly different kind of magic, courtesy of Mr Luke Jermay over at O’Sheas? Mental, his show, has no rabbits out of hats or prancing tigers or show-stealing acrobats. It just has an hour of so-good-I’m-actually-quite-spooked mindreading. Yup, good old-fashioned mindreading.

Jermay’s totally different from what you’d expect from a Vegas performer (from London, not brash, a kind of humble stage presence) but don’t let that put you off. Likewise, the special effects are reduced to a couple of swirly lights and confetti that he sprinkles when he’s taking a while to read minds. Don’t worry though – it just makes the magic stuff even more insane.
