Visually impaired Albino mentalist Fraser Penman delivered an unforgettable twist on the classic game at the capital's Dynamic Earth this week.

The acclaimed East Kilbride performer used an astonishing feat of mind reading and psychological skill to locate a personal item hidden deep within the centre's tropical rainforest by Still Game actors Jane McCarry and Mark Cox.

The Fringe performer - known as PENMAN: The Imaginator - used the rare art of Hellstromism (or muscle-reading) to perform the jaw-dropping stunt.

Without sight, but with heightened senses, Fraser placed his hand lightly on Jane's shoulder and guided her through Dynamic Earths immersive galleries.

Fraser, 30, lives with the most extreme form of Oculocutaneous Albinism, meaning he is visually impaired. His Fringe act fuses mind reading, hypnosis, and comedy, inspired by his journey to transform a childhood coping mechanism into a remarkable skill.

Fraser, who describes himself as a “psychological influencer”, said: "I grew up just like other children across the country playing Hide-and-Seek, but I played it differently as I was born with a severe visual impairment, which meant I had to learn to sense things another way.

"And that's what today's stunt at Dynamic Earth was all about, learning to sense differently; to imagine differently and be able to influence people's thoughts.
