BadPsychics.com - October 2004 Bad Psychics (BP): For those who are unfamiliar with your work, can you please give us a quick history lesson about yourself, etc.? Philip Escoffey (PE): I was born in 1970, I live in London and I have been earning my living as a psychic illusionist/mind reader for the last 6 years. Most of my work takes place in informal and intimate settings. the grey man (the "state of mind" that I adopt when performing) is very much as the name suggests. He is not self-conscious or bound by ego, allowing onlookers to be as natural (and therefore as comfortable) as they'd be were he not there. Knowledge leads to understanding, understanding promotes empathy and empathy lets you read minds. To create that empathy, the grey man had to evolve into what he has."
