John Randall Brown (October 28, 1851 – July 3, 1926) was an American mentalist of the Victorian era, and was one of the first nationally popular mentalists of his age.[1] By some accounts, Brown was the first to publicly perform a mind-reading act in the United States, in 1873.[2] He was born in Saint Louis, Missouri.[2]
