He has positioned himself as a Paranormalist, with the vast majority of his shows focusing on the paranormal or supernatural genre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween 2009 and 2021, he performed his shows for corporate groups and on annual self-produced tours of Southern Sweden. In 2022 he embarked on his first sold-out national tour with his hit supernatural show \"The Spirit in the Glass”. During 2023 he toured nationally again, this time with a new show based around CIA mind experiments called \"Project: Mind Control”. Autumn 2024 saw him on another sold-out national tour, this time with a new show called “PARANORMAL” and Autumn 2025 will see the premier of his latest creation: The Red Show - a red light seance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to performing, he is also a consultant to other entertainers and mentalists as well as theatre, TV and online productions.  This book was first introduced at the East Coast Spirit Sessions in South Carolina in January 2025. and shortly after I had several inquires from Neal Scryer and Bill Barclay who informed me this is the real deal.  I took them at their words however when I finally got the book in my hands it was SO MUCH more than I could of anticipated. - \u003cstrong\u003eMark Stevens \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevens Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48036695572532,"sku":"ML26PRACPARPE","price":99.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/PPPCoverFront_015b508c-2835-474c-ae65-b89111385f3a.jpg?v=1751579054","url":"https:\/\/stevensmagic.com\/products\/practical-paranormal-performance-revised-edition-anthony-heads-book","provider":"Stevens Magic Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
