“A mentalist is able to use these body language signals and read them just as if the person was speaking.” – John Hubert

Featured Article by John Hubert
When we think of mind reading we think of many things. We think of psychics and clairvoyants being able to seemingly state what we think and predict the future. The truth is however that all these people rely on one simple technique known as cold reading.
The technique that all these charlatans use is a technique that can be used for ethical, entertainment purposes as well. Welcome to the world of the mentalist, where conjurations and illusions are part of every day life. You see the mentalist differs from your average individual who just uses magic for their own personal gain. The mentalist is quite open about his abilities, just as a magician is his.
Mentalism, particularly online mentalism, is a field that many aren’t aware of. Did you know that you can seemingly create illusions for people in online settings utilizing techniques of cold reading? You can give the illusion that you can read into a person’s mind, perhaps even tell their fortune, even though in reality no such thing is possible. So how does one do this you may ask? How does one give the illusion of mind reading? Once again, it boils down to the technique of cold reading.
When a person has a natural knack for picking up subconscious cues and body language then they’re much more able to determine what a person might be thinking. Whilst it will be by far too length to cover the scope of what a mentalist can pick up through cold reading alone, you can just imagine the amount of signals that we give off with our body language when we’re talking to someone.
A mentalist is able to use these body language signals and read them just as if the person was speaking. Body language often tells us more than words, for what a person says and what they mean can be two totally different things, whereas body language is more often than not a thing that cannot be falsely replicated.
So where does the aspiring magician or mentalist begin? Through learning cold reading, and learning how to display that cold reading in such a convincing manner that a crowd becomes wild over seemingly magical tricks of illusion. Through showmanship, a mentalist can awe an audience in no time. As that is the craft of the mentalist is making the impossible seem possible.
A mentalist adopts cold reading and uses it to devastating effect during the course of all his performances. Whenever there may be a slight err, a slight mistake, he covers this up superbly with his showmanship skills and turns the mistake into a positive.
Online mentalism is a field that is fast emerging which involves using hypnotic concepts and cold reading in online settings, utilizing text alone. Whilst there is still much uncertainty surrounding how to do mentalism in online settings, there are some who know this skill and keep it quite a secret. And rightfully so of course.

“You have to go in knowing that you are going to pull off one of the biggest magic tricks ever. You can’t be going in nervous or weak, it will show and take away from the trick as the spectator will suspect something right from the beginning.” – Dion Semeniuk

Because of this, many have overlooked to the positive uses of subliminal and self-hypnosis products. These self-hypnosis tracks are somewhat tools that help to “trick” the mind to have healthy and positive thoughts. No harm done, right?

“Mentalism is all about creating an illusion about something extraordinary that the audience will think to be supernatural.” – anonymous
Featured Article by Andy Canning
Magic Tricks have fascinated people since early times. The Professional Magician has been with us since man learned to speak. If you can talk, you can make things seem other than they really are – and that is the essence of illusion.
Why the fascination? Why do we enjoy being fooled? We KNOW that the card didn’t really vanish into thin air – and yet … Have you ever witnessed unexplainable events or seen illusions so convincing that they leave you spellbound? Have you ever seen what happens to a group of people who experience magic up close? A high energy excitement develops that’s contagious. There’s amazement, laughter, a great buzz enjoyed by all those who witnessed the seemingly ‘unexplainable’.
We actually WANT there to be magic! We want to believe that someone can make things appear or disappear just by power of thought or by saying a magic word.
Nowadays we rarely see the ‘smoke and mirrors’ that the ancient magicians were reputed to use.
Illusions are much more sophisticated; they use few gadgets to work their deceit, most is effected by misdirection – making the audience look at one thing while something else is going on somewhere else.
The Magician or Illusionist makes a big flourish with one hand while the other secretly picks an object out of – or drops an object into – his pocket. Whenever a performer asks you to concentrate on something you may be sure that the trick is actually being done where you are not concentrating. The magician’s ‘patter’ is designed partly to entertain and partly to distract.
Magic as a hobby is very satisfying. You don’t have to be a David Blaine. You can delight and amaze people if you perform reasonably well, and this could soon lead to your hobby paying for itself and perhaps providing a part time or even full time income. Whilst a Stage Magician needs expensive props, the hobby or amateur Magician can perform tricks with his audience up close – even surrounding him or her, for some tricks – and often uses borrowed objects. These can be the most amazing tricks – very satisfying to perform – and will build the performer a magical reputation quickly.
