THIS SIDE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
Featuring Amazing Demonstrations of Clairvoyance, Telekinesis, Extra Sensory Perception and Strange Physical Feats
Part of the 19th Annual New York International Fringe Festival, A Production of the Present Company
NEW YORK, NY, July 29, 2015 – THIS SIDE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, a dazzling new show featuring demonstrations of telekinesis, clairvoyance and extra sensory perception by world-renowned mentalist Sebastian Boswell III, will make its New York premiere in the 2015 New York International Fringe Festival.
THIS SIDE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE is a performance of mental mysteries and physical wonders as practiced by mystics and fakirs throughout history and demonstrated by Sebastian Boswell III, who emphatically insists he is not a magician, but possesses his extraordinary powers as a result of a lifetime of travel and study. Each show, which features amazing demonstrations of ESP, clairvoyance, telekinesis and strange physical feats, will entertain, enlighten and leave audiences amazed at the potential of all human beings.
About The Show
THIS SIDE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE was awarded “Best of the Fringe” at the 2014 San Francisco International Fringe Festival. The show was created over the course of four years, from 2010 through 2014, when Sebastian was performing every Saturday night to sold-out shows at the Hotel Rex in San Francisco.
Who Is Sebastian Boswell III?
“To make the claims I do I am either telling the truth, lying or insane,” says Sebastian. “And I assure you I am not lying.”
Sebastian is widely considered to be one of the most distinctive performers in the field of mentalism and the demonstration of seemingly physical impossibilities. As an international performer, his career spans the distance from the theaters of Helsinki, Finland to the music stages of Norman, Oklahoma, and nearly everywhere in between.
It is not clear how long Sebastian has been performing professionally. It is at least 20 years, and some say he has been performing for decades, perhaps longer. He claims to have been peers with Houdini, of whom Sebastian holds a low opinion. Sebastian also claims to have been present when Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel created the surrealist film The Andalusian Dog.
What is clear is that the accumulated knowledge and skill he demonstrates amazes his audiences and often leaves them feeling like they have witnessed the defining moment of their lives.
