Easy Mentalism

“For those of you who don\’t know, cold reading is what psychics mostly use when they give one-on-one demonstrations of \’psychic ability\’ to people they\’ve just met.” – Adam Davies

I’ve been performing mind reading and mentalism tricks on people for years and it took me a long time to realize something quite important about performing it on females if you want to actually impress them. There was one occasion where I learned the most from and I’ll share with you the story.

A couple of years ago I was at a friend’s house party. Naturally, like most gatherings I attend, a few of my friends pleaded with me to perform a few tricks for the guests. I say pleaded because they know I only perform when I’m in the mood to perform. Although I’m a performer by nature, to be truthful, sometimes I just cannot be bothered and don’t take kindly to people expecting me to perform like a monkey whenever they want me to.

Mind Reading and mentalism to me is a bit more special than to just randomly ‘do a trick’ whenever someone asks you to. I believe in the experience of the spectators and if I don’t think the mood is right, I won’t perform. That being said, this time I felt the time was right, it probably had to do with the 70% of attendees being rather beautiful females and one in particular really caught my eye.. so anyway..

I decided I WOULD perform some mind reading. I thought this would be a great way to get this young ladies’ attention.

So sat at a large table in the kitchen surrounded by about 10 people, and more importantly, the young lady I had my eye on and I proceeded to warm up with some ESP testing cards and rightly guessing which ESP symbol each volunteer had chosen. I could feel the spectators getting excited. I then moved onto a bit of playing card mind reading which involved reading the minds of volunteers and correctly guessing which playing card they chose. I also mixed in a bit of pseudo-psychological influence for good measure.

I could see it all going really well and the important female spectator was probably showing the most interest, asking me to ‘do her next’.. read her mind that is. So anyway, what happened next confused me for a good few days.

I decided I would try out a cold reading technique I had learned earlier that day, what that involved was asking them a very general statement that would either hit – and you’d have a miracle and miss – where you could brush it off as something that could happen in the future. For those of you who don’t know, cold reading is what psychics mostly use when they give one-on-one demonstrations of ‘psychic ability’ to people they’ve just met. So I said to her “Where’s the broken door?”

She looked at me puzzled, “What do you mean?”

So I said it again, “Where’s the broken door?”

Her puzzlement turned into downright shock and she ran out of the kitchen screaming to tell her best friend who was in another room. I found her in the other room explaining to her friend what I had just said and it was impossible for me to know. I found out that literally the week before, she had been locked in her bathroom because the lock on the door was faulty and she had to call down to her house mate to get help. I had performed a miracle.

I was almost shaking with excitement but my excitement was very short lived when for the rest of the night, she wouldn’t go near me because ‘I was just too weird’. Great.. she thought I was a freak.

So the morale of the story and to bring this to an end is be very careful what you perform and who you perform it on. If you’re trying to impress most women, don’t completely freak them out, unless the girl’s a bit weird, they probably won’t enjoy it. I’ve figured out the reason is that if they think you’re truly psychic they feel naked and exposed and can’t relax around you. This is probably why I don’t claim to be psychic and instead perform ‘psychological tests’.

Either way, experience will tell you which tricks and suited for which people. I have a trick in the ultimate mind reading manual I wrote called Stigmata 2.0 and it’s so powerful I will usually only perform it to the right people. I’ve scared a few women away with it let me tell you but then again, I’ve got a few numbers off it too.

I hope you can learn something from my story and think about your mind reading tricks to make them really special.

Can mind reading ever be really ethical?

This is a bit controversial and many working psychics I’m sure will splutter at the mere suggestion. All I ask is you don’t put a voodoo curse on me.

I’m writing about the ethics of being a mind reader and what you basically claim to be able to do. The basis of being a mind reader or mentalist is making people believe that you have certain special abilities. Whether it be abnormal psychological abilities being able to uncannily influence people’s decisions and be able to tell them what they’re thinking by reading their body language, or just plain psychic abilities – literally saying you are reading their mind.

So, why bring ethics into mind reading?

Well, is it ethical to claim you have special abilities? Is it ethical to fool someone into thinking something that isn’t true? My personal opinion is yes and no. I think it depends what you claim and how you use it.

I think it is fine to do it to a point. Like, it’s OK to say you can read people’s minds or influence their choices but when you claim to be an actual psychic and start telling people how to live their lives or speak to their dead grandmother and pass on messages. I think that crosses the line. I basically think clairvoyance is cringe-worthy and immoral.

In my opinion it’s irresponsible to use your knowledge of mentalism and mind reading tricks to fool people into thinking their dead grandparents are communicating to you beyond the grave, or the that you can see the future and tell them what the best decision is to make.

What some ‘psychics’ may consider to be harmless and just a bit of trickery, someone could take literally and make a life changing decision based on a flimsy comment.

Of course there are these psychics who actually believe they have abilities but I’m not too sure. Many who seem to really believe have obviously had some training in cold reading techniques as their skill level is too high for it to be coincidence.

What I would say is use your mind reading and mentalism knowledge carefully because anyone who knows the really good mind reading tricks that I know, understands that you can literally make someone believe anything you want. This gives us all a responsibility to use our skills and knowledge wisely.
