How could psychic abilities be incorporated into a circus/performance?
I need suggestions for my book. I’ve already come up with twenty-nine ideas, but perhaps only four of them directly pertain to psychic abilities. The rest are only really cool, Cirque de Soleil-like performances that regular humans could do.
As for the psychic powers themselves, you can incorporate anything. Telepathy, telekinesis, premonitions. Just throw out ideas.
The world where this takes place is a fantasy world, and these powers are commonly known and accepted.

Overt or covert?
What strikes me is that telekinesis would ruin most of the aerial acts, if known. They all rely on the audience’s perception of danger. Sure there is a net, but everyone gasps when the trapeze artist falls.
The same goes for fortune telling. If such an ability was a reality, rather than a sham, it would most likely be done out of tenth floor office with a receptionists and a fountain an in the lobby. Covertly, it’s just the old side show.
Telepathy would be most valuable for the audience feedback. A clown could adjust his performance, rather than having to wait for applause to know what was working.
Any of this stuff, if unproven, would make a magic act.
Suggestion by Mackenzie
Someone with powers like pyrokenisis or telekenesis could put on an impressive magic show, the audience (and probably most of the other circus people) would probably be mistified but assume it’s a trick.
Having some kind of telepathy to communicate with animals is another option.

What can I do to enhance my psychic abilities ?
I feel like my psychic abilities are a little stronger than most others. For example when I look back after I make mistakes I find that I had feelings that if I followed I would have avoided the mistake. That’s one example and I have others. I want to learn to get better at interpriting my feelings and whatever else that would be useful. Advice and quality websites would be apreciated.
