“I thank you so much for a wonderful performance for the North American Association of Telecommunications Dealers. Your act was the highlight of our meeting. You were amazing and awesome. You exceeded all my expectations. Those who attended could not stop talking about it and those who did not attend were extremely disappointed.
On a personal note, you were a pleasure to work with. I liked your relaxed style and unpretentious disposition. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an entertaining and astonishing performance.”

Thanks Christopher! FYI...here's a comment from the Forum survey: "The Mentalist was so amazing I cannot even put it into words. I was so entertained, it was a wonderful night. I think this made a huge impression on everyone."
I still have people coming to me today, shaking their heads in amazement about some of the things you did!

“Chris, I wanted to let you know that I was impressed with your show and even more impressed with your presence after the show! Too many times someone will come do a presentation and simply leave after the show has been completed and you captivated me and many folks at the Catalyst meeting well into the night and long after your show ended. I would recommend your show to anyone that wants to be mystified and amazed.”

“Thanks very much for a great show and for taking the time to talk with folks after. I must admit I was extremely skeptical before your show began. I've spent my life figuring out how things and people work (and now even have a job doing it), and I am usually bored by "magic" shows, psychics, etc. When I first read the program I thought we'd just being seeing the same old tired optical illusions and tricks. To my surprise (and delight), I found your show fascinating.
I'm not sure which I enjoyed more–watching your presentation or trying to figure out how you did it. I must admit there were even a few times when I had such a difficult time applying logic to what I was seeing that it was tempting to believe there really is a 6th sense.
Best of all was the chance to chat about your show. Not many entertainers take the time to actually meet their audience these days, but it left a lasting impression on me.”

“All of us at Phoenix Magazine would like to thank you for your amazing performance at our 35th Anniversary celebration. Our goal was to "wow" clients with something extra special and your mentalist act definitely enhanced the party and exceeded the expectations of our staff and guests.
You were a topic of discussion throughout the evening, as well as the following week. It was a pleasure working with you. Your professionalism, pre-planning and performance were all above standard. I would highly recommend you to anyone planning a trade show, party, conference or other event. Thanks again for helping make Phoenix Magazine's party a success.”

“I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoyed your performance at the Gauthier Classic. We are still getting compliments and remarks on your outstanding performance.
You amazed our guests with your feats of mentalism. We greatly appreciated the personal time that you took with some of our more skeptical guests after the performance. It was the ‘icing on the cake.’ I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a unique and original brand of entertainment that will befuddle the mind. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

“Do you believe in psychics? If not, how does mentalist Christopher Caldwell do it? His ability to read minds (not to mention sealed envelopes) of an overflow audience at the NAPS 2000 Annual Conference in San Francisco dazzled everyone. Chris’s low-key style (this guy could be my neighbor!) sets him apart from other acts in the business.”
