He's a total fucking weasel with his velvet cloak and contrived, self-consciously theatrical body language. Don't forget that he's simply a confidence trickster and illusionist, he's not actually 'reading your minds' ooOOOOoooOOoohhh
I bumped into him and his camera crew when I worked in soho about 5 or 6 years ago, he stopped me suddenly snapping me out of my floor-watching trance and just sort of looked into my eyes as if he was about to ask me a question, then he just mumbled something about "oh I can see you don't have much time" and fucked off with a swirl of his cape. I hoped he had foreseen my urgent chorizo panini requirement and not detected some kind of terminal illness.
It was only later I realised I'd had a close encounter with the creepiest ginger weasel that ever did walk the earth.
I guess, as ever, my stony poker face gave away no signs of penetrable humanity, compassion or warmth and sent him on his way.
ONWARDS – TO THE SANDWICH MAN!!!
