Mark Metry Show
“Mr. Barry is not content merely to perform sleights of hand; he wants his audiences to know how deeply he embraces risk, how very life-affirming careering toward the canyon of eternity can be.” — New York Times
As the world’s leading TV hypnotist, mentalist and brain hacker, Keith Barry has been blazing a trail across the globe for many years. His mind-blowing skills have been showcased in over forty international television shows, including his most recent series, You’re Back in the Room. The first hypnotism format on TV in the UK for several years, this show garnered huge audiences and proved to be a big prime-time hit for ITV.
As well as his own hugely successful US TV series, Deception with Keith Barry, Keith has appeared many times on some of the most prestigious US shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show and The Conan O’Brien Show. He has also brain-hacked many celebrities including Woody Harrelson, Bono, Nicole Scherzinger, Morgan Freeman and many more.
One of Keith’s recent projects saw him working as chief mentalist and hypnotist consultant for the blockbuster movie, Now You See Me. Shot in New Orleans and Paris, it starred Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Caine and grossed over $360M at the box office. His huge success in working extensively with Woody Harrelson, who plays a mentalist, ensured he was hired as chief magic and mentalist consultant for the sequel, Now You See Me – The Second Act. He worked on this for almost a year, through its filming in London and Macau.
Keith has written, produced and performed many of his own stage shows in the last fifteen years and has sold out venues in the US, Australia, Canada, Spain, South Africa, the UK and of course his native Ireland. He has also recently presented his keynote speech ‘Mind Magic’ at places such as The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, The Pendulum Summit and The Dublin Tech Summit. Keith’s TED Talk has been in the top twenty-five TED Talks since 2008 and it currently boasts over twenty-five million views.
A true master of his craft, Keith has gained many awards over the years, including ‘Best Magician in Las Vegas 2009’, as voted for by The Las Vegas Review-Journal. He also received the very prestigious ‘Merlin Award’ for Mentalist of the Year in 2009, joining the ranks of past recipients including Penn and Teller, Paul Daniels and David Copperfield.
Keith’s corporate entertainment show is designed to astound and amaze the assembled audience and also have them laughing until their faces hurt. During the show, he will implant thoughts, extract thoughts, and influence the behavior of the unsuspecting audience. No-one is safe!

FLOW #42 - Literally Everything You Want in Life is Waiting For You

You're listening to the 42nd episode of the Humans 2.0 podcast, solo-series, FLOW! Today's episode is on my story of interviewing Seth Godin in under 24 hours.
August 1st, I interviewed Jeremy Ryan Slate. I saw a normal guy rise above & beyond his situation. Jeremy is the host of Create Your Own Life Podcast... he told me that it took him 400 episodes to reach Seth Godin. He said “He likes big numbers.”
Later in the day I wrote an email to Seth. It took me a solid hour.
I poured my heart into it...complete state of FLOW.
Send. Didn’t even read it.
21 minutes later Seth got back to me.
He said - "thanks, let’s record it soon"
...he scheduled it for the next day
Our interview was much better than expected.
I said - “Technology is always changing the environment. We should be mindful of the mediums and communication methods but the fundamental’s are never going to change.”
Seth says - “I love that. You should be a copywriter for me”
and then I understood it...
Seth took a shot on me, someone who could never repay him back because somebody once did that for him.
I also realized everything I want in life is on the other side of my willingness to try.
This changed my life. After this, I set up interviews with people liked Ed Mylett & Naveen Jain. I spent a long time chasing this vision in my head of having the greatest podcast in the world but I realized the only thing stopping me was myself.
I don't know about you...but I'm going to DESTROY today for my dreams and I hope you do the same.

FLOW #43 - Your Brain's Default Mode is NOT Happiness

You're listening to the 43rd episode of the Humans 2.0 podcast, solo-series, FLOW! Today's episode is on humanity's true nature despite the culture social media message.
Anyone can feel positive. Anyone can enjoy the happy brain chemicals that positivity unleashes.
That may seem foolish because the bad in the world is so obvious. Negativity may seem like an intelligent response to the world around you. But when you know how your brain creates that response, you have the power to create a new one.
We have inherited a brain that’s inclined to go negative. It’s not that we want to feel bad—on the contrary, our brain evolved to seek good feelings. We go negative because our brain expects negativity to feel good. This paradox makes sense when you know the operating system we’ve inherited from our animal ancestors.
All mammals have the same brain chemicals controlled by the same basic brain structures. Your mammal brain rewards you with good feelings when you do things that promote your survival. But your brain defines survival in a quirky way. This is why we end up with patterns that feel bad in our quest to feel good.
You can transcend your natural mammalian negativity. You can train your brain to go positive. Positivity does not mean ignoring the realities of life. It means adjusting for the brain’s natural tendency to ignore the positives of life. Whether you’re frustrated by your own negativity or the negativity of others, The Science of Positivity can help.
You may find it hard to believe that there are good things you’ve missed. It’s easy to think your internal responses are caused by external facts because that is what the verbal part of your brain says. But your mammal brain doesn’t process language so your two brains are literally not on speaking terms. Your internal responses rest on neural pathways paved by your early neurochemical ups and downs. The electricity in your brain flows into those old pathways unless you carve new ones. This book shows you how to build new pathways and give your electricity a new place to flow!
