A Practical Guide to the Pursuit of Happiness
Ben Pridmore is a Mentalist

Did anyone see Channel 5’s documentary, The Mentalists? The show followed Ben and other Memorists (including Ed Cooke and Gunther Karsten) as they travelled to Bahrain to compete in the World Memory Championships.
You can read Ben’s reaction to the programme here. However, if you don’t know who won, be warned that Ben gives it away!
From my perspective, watching the programme was really interesting. My wife even watched it with me, partly because she has this theory that I could have been there competing and getting on telly! (I competed in the WMC in 2000.) The interesting – and slightly depressing – thing, with the standard of the competition nowadays, is that some of the results that these guys get when they fluff it are scores that I would have been over the moon with!
Oh well, we can’t all be “Mentalists!”
