Gone Mental with Lior
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
GONE MENTAL WITH LIOR is a reality series that features celebrities participating in fun illusions. Master mentalist Lior Suchard invites celebrities like Ben Stiller, Ludacris, and even football player Rob Gronkowski to participate in a series of tasks and challenges. These might require them to secretly choose random things like numbers and people -- Suchard seems to then read their minds and influence their thoughts, which always leaves everybody stumped.
Is It Any Good?
This lighthearted series features lots of tricks and illusions designed to show off Lior Suchard's (alleged) highly developed intuitive abilities. While common sense dictates that what he does is rooted in some form of logic, his friendly, relaxed interactions with people make it easier to accept what they see and hear. The fact that he's working with celebrities, and not random strangers, also adds to the fun. Even if you don't usually buy into this sort of thing, Gone Mental with Lior is still a pretty entertaining treat.
