One Head is a fantastic take on the classic One Ahead routine, built around a series of increasingly impossible mind-reading moments. A spectator is brought on stage to act as a witness and is shown a pad that appears completely blank. Three different people in the audience are then asked to merely think of different pieces of information — a country, a name and the final digits of a phone number. Each time, the performer commits to a prediction before the thought is named aloud, making everything feel completely fair and out in the open. At the end, the witness opens the folded papers and every single thought has been predicted perfectly! It is funny, theatrical and incredibly strong, with a beautifully structured method that allows the performer to play the routine for maximum impossibility and entertainment!
