Fred Zimmerman - thESPian - An actor prepares ... to read your mind

Fred Zimmerman is a Chicago-based actor & mentalist whose work lives at the intersection of theater, psychology, and elegant deception. Think actor first, magical ALWAYS—his performances are built on observation, character analysis, motivation, and a deep understanding of how people think they think. Fred approaches mentalism the way a serious actor approaches a role. He treats every audience as a scene partner. No "pick-a-card," no capes, no smoke machines … just human behavior under a spotlight. His strength isn’t “mind reading,” but making you realize how much of your mind is already readable if you know where to look. His style is urbane, dry, and quietly dangerous. The humor is smart. The pace is confident. The astonishment sneaks up on you — normally, mid-laugh. He favors intimate, high-impact moments that feel less like tricks and more like personal revelations.
