Pete from Uusikaupunki became a world-famous mentalist

  • Pete Poskiparta, a world-famous mentalist from Uusikaupunki, shared his life story in the book "Man and Mind," written by his sister Päivi Sappinen. The book delves into Pete's journey from a childhood fascination with magic to becoming an acclaimed mentalist.

In 1989, at the age of eleven, Pete’s encounter with a magician at a local market sparked his lifelong passion for magic. He eventually turned his hobby into a successful career, performing magic and mentalism for over three decades.

The book explores Pete’s personal challenges, including battles with depression and alcoholism. Despite the setbacks, he achieved international recognition in the field of mentalism, receiving the prestigious Dunninger Memorial Award.

Pete, now based in Turku, cherishes his family as his greatest success. While he appreciates his hometown, he currently has no plans to move back.

His life story serves as an inspiration to pursue dreams and passion, and fans have the opportunity to witness his magic through a nationwide tour. The biography is also available as an audiobook, narrated by Pete and Päivi, and the siblings can be met at the Helsinki Book Fair.
