Kristine Bellino, WIBX/TSM

- Robert had a big weekend performing at the Stanley Theatre on Saturday and he was at Utica College last night.

- Robert talks about what's new with him and what he's got planned.

- Robert performs for us an amazing mind reading demonstration with Andrew assisting. He blindfolded himself with silver dollars, duct tape, a blindfold, and more duct tape. Then he guessed correctly several items we held up in the studio.

Another Incredible Display From Robert

- When we returned from break, Robert wrapped up a trick he was working on with Andrew. He had asked Andrew to draw a picture and put it in his pocket. He did not tell Robert what the picture was, he simply looked at Andrew and drew a house. It was mind blowing.

Here is the video of the incredible trick.
