"Sleight of hand. Twitch of eye.That's magic, and that's what John Fabjance of Mt. Prospect counts on when he performs. But if you think all he's doing is tricks as he produces coins from nowhere or displays the playing card you were thinking about, you've fallen under the spell of 'Mind Games' as he calls his show. " Fabjance's magic act usually delivers a message, often about alcohol. It's not a sermon but a quiet message, presented with a practiced subtlety that makes his presentation different from the typical anti-drug and anti-alcohol lecture that people, students in particular, are accustomed to hearing."

Magically Speaking
Fabjance Goes Where They Are - Anywhere on Campus! Mind Games requires no stage. There are no traditional staging needs because 'he goes where they are'. John seeks out his audience - and he finds them! He is perfectly comfortable (and actually prefers!) going anywhere on your campus where students gather: cafeterias, classrooms, dorms, nooners, cookouts, student unions, in line for class registration, and all points in-between.

Slogans and other obviously loaded messages are discounted or ignored by students. They are not subtle. They evoke resistance and hostility and cause people to put up barriers against additional information. Magic dissolves resistance. And while their attention is absorbed by the fun and mystery of magic, your substance abuse awareness messages and themes slide into their thinking much more easily.

Like a heat-seeking missile, John creates his audience, person by person. Going from person to person, table to table accomplishes two important objectives-- it makes a greater impact on students, encouraging them to interact and participate, and it blows away table tents and posters as effective promotion if you do opt for a traditional evening performance.
