An intriguing and mystifying meeting of the minds takes place on live television when famed mentalist Uri Geller and world-renowned mystifyer Criss Angel conduct an intensive search for the next great mentalist on “Phenomenon”.

The exhilarating and suspenseful live show is based on a successful Israeli version judged and monitored by Geller, which achieved a historical record-breaking viewing audience.

Hosted by Tim Vincent, the series showcases 10 carefully selected mentalists who compete live against one another each week by demonstrating a wide spectrum of inexplicable talents...

In search of talent, charisma, showmanship and stage presence, Geller and Angel assess the contestant’s talents each week and offer their unfiltered opinions.









Ultimately, the fate of the winner is in hands of the viewers at home, who vote to determine which competing mentalist will receive the grand prize of $ 250,000 and become the next great mentalist.
