MIND MASTER Nomer Lasala is making waves because of his Celebrity Secrets Interpreted or CSI in “Showbiz Central”. Next Sunday, his own show will be back on GMA-7 for its second season. How did he start as a Mind Master? “I was 9 years old when I first experienced it,” he says. “Dumating na yung schoolbus ko and I was rushing. Inaabot ko yung lunchbox ko sa table, kusa siyang lumapit sa’kin. So my first ability was telekinesis. I started formally training when I was 17 under David Elefant, a well known European mentalist. I met him in a party for diplomats and he help me polish my act. Tapos, I was invited to perform sa party ni Jocas, anak ni Tito Joey de Leon. Sigawan sila ng sigawan and Tito Joey came down and he drew a monkey and I duplicated it. He guested me in ‘Mel and Joey’ and GMA then offered to give me my own show.”
The eldest of five kids and born on March 15, 1986, he finished business administration in Lyceum and works with the sales department of an HMO company. His parents and officemates are all supportive of his TV career. He’s currently in a relationship. We noticed he has three scars on his forehead. One required 32 stitches, another, 16 and the last one, 4. We told him all those accidents on his head could have been the reason why he’s now a Mind Master. “Could be,” he laughs. “But it’s actually a skill that you can refine with the help of being psychic mixed with psychology. I haven’t really perfected it kaya nga pumaltos ako kay Jackie Rice in ‘Showbiz Central’ kasi magulo isip niya, masyadong marami siyang iniisip.”
