That combination is very rare and makes his instruction invaluable for performers at every level.“- Sean Critchfield, Merlin at the Excalibur in Las Vegas

“Paul Draper is a tremendous psychic entertainer, and every time we speak, he passes on invaluable insights regarding the performance of mentalism. In fact, I’ve seen Paul enlighten a room full of the world’s top mentalists, offering specific suggestions on how each of them, with a few tweaks here and there, could take their game to the next level. Paul is always in demand and has performed his show in numerous countries.“- Gabe Abelson, Head Monologue Writer for “Late Show with David Letterman” and Staff Writer for “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”
