Event attendees at Lewes' Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge on the evening of April 29 were able to experience a variety of special treats.

After a classy dinner with a choice of salmon or ribs, members and guests enjoyed the songbird-like talents of Elks Exalted Ruler Joy Lynn Schreck, a local performer. Then, it was time for the main event, Dan Gaffney and his Mind Mysteries Show.

A local celebrity and talk show host, Gaffney has amazing mentalist abilities that he brings to audience members in his Mind Mysteries Show. Gaffney said being a mentalist is similar to being a magician; but instead of magic props like cups, scarfs and balls, the thoughts and minds of a live audience are used. “The show is highly interactive, involving multiple volunteers and at times the entire audience. Thoughts, words and personal information are revealed in an entertaining and fun way,” said Gaffney.

The crowd at the Elks Lodge was completely invested after only one sample of his amazing mentalist capabilities. Gaffney guessed cards, phone numbers, and even who had an animal named Ginger. The Elks are looking forward to having him back again in the fall.
