Brief Summary: Marc Salem is the world's most successful professional mentalist (mentalism is the branch of magic devoted to the potential of the mind). He has had his own solo full-length evening shows on Broadway and in London's West End, and is regularly booked into theatres all over the world, as well as being highly in demand for social and corporate functions of every description. He is married to an exceptional woman, Tova, who is, among other things, an expert designer and maker of silver jewellery and Judaica, the beauty of which has to be seen to be believed.

Best Party Trick: Marc knows a lot of great tricks, but surely his best was finding and marrying Tova.

Special Powers: Can read minds. No, really! Can fill theatres even in countries he hasn't previously visited, where you'd think he would be unknown and might therefore take a short while to build his reputation. That's how it's supposed to work in showbiz, but Marc somehow seems to sell out from the opening night onwards.

Known Weaknesses: Complete inability to do a dull show.

Catchphrase: "Coincidence? I think not."
