Force Of
Energy

Mentalist Sidney
Friedman will
entertain at Bais
Chabad dinner.

Suzanne Chessler
Contributing Writer

E

ver have a favorite melody
repeating in your mind?
Mentalist Sidney Friedman
counts on that happening with lots of
people each time he plans a performance.
Figuring out the secret songs of vol-
unteer participants and then playing the
songs on piano or guitar will be part of
his act at the 37th anniversary dinner of
the Sara and Morris Tugman Bais Chabad
Torah Center.
"I sense the energy,' Friedman explains
about his abilities, which will come across
full force through various interactive expe-
riences Sunday evening, June 5, at Young
Israel of Oak Park.
Friedman, who has appeared on TV
with appearances on shows such as Today
and The View, also invites guests to put
individual items — lipsticks, pens, keys
— in a basket while he looks away. Later,
he detects the owner of each item.
The mentalist will be part of a program
that honors Dr. Dov and Rivka Schuchman
and Moishe and Ruth Goodman.
"I perform all kinds of feats of extrasen-
sory perception, things that have to do with
intuition, apparent mind-reading and fore-
casting:' says Friedman, 46 and raised in a
Reform household. "I do a lot of events for
Jewish organizations, and thafs been about
45 across the country in the past two years."
Friedman, who has performed at cor-
porate and private events around the state,
first knew he had extrasensory skills when
he was about 5 years old. His mother had
lost her wedding ring and was searching
all over their house for it.
"All I did was sit in a chair, close my eyes
and imagine I was in a movie theater," he
recalls. "On a big blank screen in front of
me, the ring appeared under my mother's
nightstand, and that's where she found it."
While Friedman's skills helped at home,
they weren't always an asset in school.
After he told a teacher where she could
find some lost papers, the young Friedman
got in trouble; the woman thought he had
concealed what she had been missing.
"I had a girlfriend in college who also
had the same abilities," says the divorced
entertainer. "We'd sit at a table in a restau-

rant and try to sense what was going on
in the lives of people sitting near us. Later,
we'd start conversations to verify whether
we were right."
Friedman, a camper at Interlochen in
northern Michigan for three summers,
anticipated a musical career; and he stud-
ied piano and music composition at the
Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.
For a time, he composed scores for PBS
documentaries. He has had his work per-
formed by choirs and orchestras.
"I still was doing these mentalist dem-
onstrations for friends, and little by little, I
began performing at events and showing
others how to use their intuitive powers','
he says. "I decided about 18 years ago to
make a career out of it."
As predictions became part of his career,
Friedman wrote The Mind Knows More
Than You Do. He claims to be right about
70 percent of the time.
"I believe that we cannot predict most
of the future," says the mentalist, who does
better with Oscar winners than election
results. "We make the future happen.
"If we knew what was going to happen,
then there would be no reason for today.
The future is part what we make it, part
fate and part chance.
"The difference between chance and fate
is that chance is a roll of the dice and fate is
the roll of the dice with God blowing on it."
While Friedman admits to his obvious
failures in predicting the last congressional
balloting, he also tells about sadly foresee-
ing the essence of Katrina.
"I predicted that the Mississippi River
would significantly change course," he
explains. "As it turned out, the levies broke,
and the river changed course."
Friedman, who grew up and still lives
in Illinois, says he gets his predictions
in four ways. They come to him through
dreams, a form of meditation known as
water gazing, pendulum analysis involv-
ing how trends move back and forth and
just plain guessing.
His favorite non-work pastime is ball-
room dancing.
"Dancing is a nonverbal connection and
communication," he explains. "That relates
to what I do." I I
