Ok, so what’s in my mind right now?
Right now, you’re thinking, “Is this guy honestly, for real?”


Correct. “Mental Assassin” sounds dangerous, what’s with the monicker?
Nakalimutan ko na kung sino nagsabi sa'kin e, pero ang sabi nya, I’m like an assassin. So naisip ko puwede nga yung “mental assassin.” Hindi mo alam binabasa ko na pala yung thoughts mo.

I’m a mentalist, and I can assassinate your thoughts. I can figure out what you’re thinking, na hindi mo nalalaman.

Where and when did this fascination for reading people’s minds start?
Nung bata pa ko, mahilig na ako sa magic, sa mga kakaiba. Tapos nalaman ko yung lolo ko pala mahilig din sa mga ganun, sa mga psychic stuff. May mga séances pa daw na pumupunta sa amin. Actually, we own a store named Funhouse, which is a store of magic stuff, practical jokes and mga kung anu-ano. So from there, naisip ko na baka it runs in the family.

Tapos habang nag-aaral ako ng magic, nagkaroon ng incident sa life ko. My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me. So naisip ko what if I could read minds. Kasi if I could read minds, malamang, malalaman ko kung ano yung problema.

In the process na iniisip ko kung saan ba ako nagkamali, biglang naisip ko what if I coud read minds. Pano kung nabasa ko pala yung utak niya, baka nalaman ko na ipagpapalit niya pala ako after 5 years. Baka kung nakakabasa akong utak, mabago kung yung mga pangyayari. Eventually, in the process na nag-aaral ako ng magic, naka-move on na ko.

And what are you capable of now?
Entertaining people, reading their minds, and of course, picking up women. I’m also part of a pick-up society, called X-Arts. We’re social engineers. Pag sinabi mo kasing pick-up artist, medyo mabaho sa pandinig e. Kami, pinag-aaralan namin kung paano-mag socialize. Yung pagiging babaero parang bonus na lang yan e, kasi alam mo kung paano makuha yung loob ng babae.

We also teach other people, yung mga mabababa yung self-esteem, yung mga hindi pa nagkaka-girlfriend, tinuturuan namin kung paano siya hindi matakot na lumapit sa babae. Merong [mga workshops], may mga instructors talaga kami dun. Our website is www.xarts.tk. But I’m not yet an instructor, hindi pa ako bihasa para magturo.
