Lior Suchard (born 6 December 1981) is an Israeli mentalist and self-described "mystifier" who performs "supernatural entertainment". In 2005 he was invited to appear on The Successor (also known as The Next Uri Geller), Uri Geller's Israeli TV show, which was aired in late 2006. Suchard beat eight other candidates and won the competition to be Geller's successor. After winning The Successor, his career as a mentalist took off in both Israel and abroad. In 2010 he placed 28th on People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive list. In 2012 to celebrate the 70th birthday of Barbra Streisand, the mentalist was invited to be the main show during which he stunned the famous guests. In 2016, he performed the halftime show during Streisand's nine-city tour. Suchard's live show called "Supernatural Entertainment" won the Best Innovative Act Award at the 2015 Live Quotient Awards in India. In February 2016 he embarked on a tour of 18 performances in Australia. The tour was very successful, and it was reported that in order to meet the demand for tickets the tour was extended. In 2019, for the first time in the history of the Eurovision song contest, a mentalist was chosen to make a special guest appearance. He appeared in the event's green room, where he presented his special skills and talents to the contestants and to the television audience. He was co-host of the game show Brain Games in 2020. In 2020 Lior's new show "gone mental with Lior" aired on the video platform Quibi. Lior co-produced and star the show alongside celebrities.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
