What if you knew exactly what someone else was going to do before they did it? Eric Dittelman knows what that’s like and has been reading minds at theaters, colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events all across the country. Often known by just his surname, Dittelman combines amazing mind reading with stand - up and improv comedy. In 2012, he blew audiences away as the first ever mind reader on NBC's "America's Got Talent" where he was a season 7 semi-finalist and judges' favorite. He has since appeared on "Ellen", “Live with Kelly and Ryan” and “Penn & Teller: Fool Us" where Penn called his act “bordering on genius!” He’s also been featured in "Entertainment Weekly", "Rolling Stone", and even "The National Enquirer". Event is first come, first serve, and will be held in the Great Hall.
