“Marc is not only a long-time friend but is one of the finest mentalists in the world today. He has performed internationally, on Broadway and is a favorite of lay people and professional mentalists alike. I can't recommend Marc highly enough. He's one of the best in the business.” -Bob Cassidy 

"Marc Salem is the Godfather of Mentalism. He is the first performer of our generation to develop a globally successful live show. So if he is going to share some information on creativity, presentations, structure or experience, you better make sure you pay attention. I know I have, and would again. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, learn from Marc Salem." -Colin Mcleod 

“Marc Salem is one of the best mentalists around the world. When Marc is lecturing, I listen. I listen very carefully. It's not just the amazing effects he shares. It’s the deep understanding of Mentalism and showmanship. He changed the lives of some attendees from the last lecture I saw. I wish I heard him 25 years ago.” -Lior Manor 

"Marc Salem belongs to the rare group of mentalists who actually perform for a living - and the even rarer group who had hit Off-Broadway & Broadway shows." -Docc Hilford
