Timon Krause’s Mentalist Show Debuts on ProSieben

A four-week prime-time series that pairs live mentalism demonstrations with celebrity games followed by a short documentary explaining the psychology behind the tricks.

Overview

  • The show premiered on Wednesday, August 5, on ProSieben at 20:15 and is available at the same time on the Joyn streaming service.
  • Each 90-minute episode is hosted by Matthias Opdenhövel and pits Krause against three celebrity guests in live experiments that test perception and decision making.
  • ProSieben lists the run as four weekly episodes through August 26 with TV repeats a few hours after first broadcast and an additional repeat on the following Sunday.
  • Krause and the broadcaster stress the techniques are based on psychological influence and observation rather than supernatural powers, and a short documentary after each episode breaks down the methods and gives everyday tips.
  • Early reviews note Krause’s stage presence carries the premiere but call the format skewed toward his wins, suggesting the show delivers fresh moments while repeating similar tricks across the episode.
