A small band of illusionists, the Mindblowers, is in a sticky situation: The Swedish mafia, who control the entertainment industry with an iron fist, intend to collect their last pennies and earthly possessions. Will they succeed in the heist of century and escape from the dreary and dangerous North for good? Or will the Swedes ruin our youth with their pop music?

The English show of The Physicist Spex Mindblowers is coming in early December. Stay tuned, like The Physicist Spex on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fyysikkospeksi

Get ready for the most exciting and dramatic experience of the year! See you in the spex!

We will begin with a brief explanation of what we do, who we choose as members and how it is possible to join our brotherhood of singing gentlemen. Complementary drinks to the first guests and wallet-friendly drinks afterwards. The evening will continue with two Finnish favourites: blazing karaoke in one room and a steaming sauna right in the other. This way you can alternate between the singing in the sauna and singing in the K-room without losing momentum.
