Today's TALK
Apparently one of the better registered/attended lectures/talks! Thank you TALK Third Age Learning at Kwantlen for having me back again to talk about my latest book, "Transcending the Limitations of the Human Mind"! They want a Part 2, 3, and maybe 4!! Yaaay!
My Recent Lecture for The Vancouver Magic Circle
I had the honor of doing a lecture on Bizarre Majick/Mentalism last night for the Vancouver Magic Circle
Here is a quote from Graham Kita, Past President, Vancouver Magic Circle, and Director on Executive: "There are a lot of people that said they really enjoyed your workshop. Thank you for taking the time and energy to come out and do that for us. Our vision is to do more and more magic at our meetings. members like yourself really do help us to instill the attitudes of professionalism . I especially liked the fact that you mentioned bizarre magic is a hard sell to the public for shows. it is super cool, but you could make a lot more money just doing kids birthday parties. For the beginners in the group, information like that is so valuable. I’ve seen so many younger magicians go off and wanna be different. They don’t understand how much more difficult that path would be as opposed to Doing commercially accepted magic .It can definitely be done. It takes a lot of years to know and understand what your audience likes. I really like that your workshop wasn’t about look what I can do . It was about teaching the members and sharing our Art of Magic."
Another from the great Donovan Edward Wert: "One of my favourite books in my collection, Signed by my great friend The incomparable Dr. Michael Likey!! His lecture at the Vancouver Magic Circle last night was absolutely delightful!!
From the amazing Shawn Farquhar: "Thanks for performing and lecturing last night for the VMC, I think I can confidently say everyone had a grand time."
Roy J Hopwood: "If you missed the VMC meeting on Thursday, you missed a great workshop by Dr. Michael Likey. His thoughts and demonstration of Bizarre Magic / Mentalism showed that a well-developed character and costume - Steam Punk - along with effects that suit the character creates a potent image. Michael also showed that keeping the method simple does NOT lessen the effect."
Thank you Yoosik Ethan Oum for the great pics, and to Cheryl Hayes my amazing assistant/partner in crime!

Part of my presentation included doing Long-Distance Telepathy/Mediumship with Cheryl Hayes who acted as the medium by speaker-phone all the way from New Hampshire, U.S. She succeeded not only in naming the objects held up by the committee, but also stated the serial number from a five-dollar bill I borrowed from an audience member. Here is a short clip from the experiment...
Strange Gambits: Dr. Michael Likey and Lady Chameleon (Cheryl Hayes)
The act harkens back to the 1800's and early 20th century, where the medium (in this case Cheryl Hayes a.k.a. Lady Chameleon) picks up impressions from the spirit-world! Names of living or dead people, numbers and symbols are perceived by Lady Chameleon. As well, Automatic (or spirit) writing is performed through her, as messages from famous and deceased authors are written on a slate!
There are no limitations, as the veil between this world and the spirit-world are perceived through Lady Chameleon.
As well, personal messages (known only to audience members) are perceived by Dr. Michael and Lady Chameleon, and tables fly through the air during a mock seance!
This act has been witnessed by worldwide audiences, and recently made it's global premiere on Dr. Michael's Friday Night Wizard Emporium.
Available for lectures or demonstrations. Go here for more information: https://www.majickmikelikey.com/strange-gambits.html

Clara then went between Cheryl and Micah, to glimpse each object and speak through Cheryl their identities! Did it work? Can the dearly-departed really speak through the living? You be the judge on this Halloween Spooktacular! Thank you Kevin Peel for including me in tonight's amazing line-up!

Some Reviews by Magicians on My Recent Lecture for The Paranormal Investigation Committee of

"Thank you Michael, you did a great job."
-Mark Carlon, Chair, The Paranormal Investigation Committee,
The Society of American Magicians.

A Recent Lecture for Non-Magicians
Recently I was fortunate enough to talk to non-magicians on #GhostsAndSpirits based on my three-book series available from #Amazon. (GHOSTS & SPIRITS, BIZARRE, and PSYCHED!) It was a fun group, who participated in the second half with #ExperimentsOfTheMind! Among a few other experiments, using several small, frameless school slates, we were able to experience a message of #Love from someone's dearly-departed, have the exact time someone's loved one departed manifest upon the face of a watch, and even have a mini-seance whereby a table lifted completely off the floor as four of us had our fingertips lightly touching the table's surface!
A good time was indeed had by all!
REMEMBER: Dr. Likey's lectures and presentations are not intended to foster belief in supernatural phenomena of any kind. Everything he accomplishes is through perfectly natural and scientific means.

Unlocking the Limitless Potential of the Mind
Psychiatrists theorize that the deep relaxation and focusing exercises of hypnotism and meditation work to calm and subdue the conscious mind so that it takes a less active role in your thinking process. In this state, you're still aware of what's going on, but your conscious mind takes a backseat to your subconscious mind.
Within our subconscious mind resides traumas and negative past occurrences, which, once identified, may be altered, corrected, and healed.
Also within the recesses of our subconscious mind lays limitless potential and possibilities, which, once accessed, may result in almost miraculous achievements.
Among other things, the potential for extrasensory perception, creativity, and imagination may be released from the depths of our unconscious mind, resulting in previously untapped feats and abilities which may appear not only fascinating, but also potentially useful to society.
Dr. Michael Likey, Ph.D., D.D., PsyTh.D. offers you a one-hour or two-hour presentation involving the Unlimited Power of the Mind that is at once entertaining, as well as food for thought.
During his presentations, (many based upon his published books and influenced by the clinical work of Jung and Freud) you may be called upon to volunteer in experiments of the mind involving playing cards, keys, and other simple and everyday objects such as slates, chalk, pads of paper and pencils or markers. In the end, you will be both entertained, fascinated, and reassured that there, to quote the Bard, "...are more things in heaven and earth...than are dreamt of in our philosophies."
NOTE: DR. LIKEY'S PRESENTATIONS ARE ACCOMPLISHED VIA COMPLETELY NATURAL AND SCIENTIFIC MEANS, AND ARE NOT MEANT TO FOSTER BELIEF IN SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA OF ANY KIND; THEY ARE PRESENTED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.

Dr. Michael and his Experiments of the Mind:
Bridging Science and Mysticism
Is it Mind-Reading? Telekinesis? The Power of the Mind? Imagination? Science? Mysticism? Superstition? E.S.P.? Psychic Ability? Intuition?
Together, we explore which Is what, as YOU seemingly accomplish impossible feats of the mind! From moving objects, to matching with another's thoughts, YOU are the one seemingly doing these mental gymnastics.
Fun for the whole family, there is something for everybody here, and you might even learn a thing or two!

Fun for the whole family, there is something for everybody here, and you might even learn a thing or two!
NEUROSCIENCE has proven that we are only 5% CONSCIOUSLY/COGNITIVELY aware, while the remaining 95% of our mind remains UNCONSCIOUS/NOT COGNITIVELY AWARE. In other words, so MUCH of our UNCONSCIOUS MIND REMAINS UNTAPPED!
Can you imagine the possibilities if we could access MORE of our UNCONSCIOUS MIND?
What goes on in that 95%? Can we use it to HEAL past memories and traumas, which are contained within that UNCONSCIOUS 95% of our mind?
What other POWERS OF THE MIND may be uncovered within that 95% if we became more COGNITIVELY aware? Could our MEMORY improve? Might we be able to achieve MUCH MORE than we were able to before?

This thirty-minute presentation is self-contained and is perfect for stage, small theatres and auditoriums.
Filled with audience participation, you'll laugh, you'll be amazed and be puzzled, and YES, you WILL learn a thing or two about the Power of the Mind!
