“Being keen observers will make us good mind readers. Practice these secrets to mind reading tricks, and understand your friends, acquaintances, and loved ones better.” – Lisa Brown

Right off the bat, it is a fact that one can never read minds like we see in the movies or read in books – where a character such as Twilight’s Edward can actually hear your thoughts. However, do not fret because when you read about these secrets for mind reading tricks, you could be as good as them without having any supernatural powers.
Mind reading is actually a very critical human skill. It is how we make sense of another person’s behavior and reach decisions as to what we will do. Here are some tips on how to understand what another person is thinking of through their actions:
Observe the eyes. When a person is interested in something they just thought of or saw, their pupils usually enlarge – and shrinks if he/she is generally not interested. Another interesting tip is looking at the direction of the eyes. This is usually true for right-handed people. For left-handed people, simply reverse the directions. If their eyes go up and to the right, they are usually remembering a visual image. If their eyes go up and to the left, they are usually constructing a visual image. If their eyes go down to the right, they are usually engaged in internal dialog. If their eyes go down to the left, they are usually trying to remember kinesthetic feelings.
Observe the mouth. A slightly open mouth is a sign of general interest and curiosity.
Observe the posture. If a person is leaned towards you, this is usually a sign that he or she wants to know more about you or what you are talking about.
Being keen observers will make us good mind readers. Practice these secrets to mind reading tricks, and understand your friends, acquaintances, and loved ones better.

“It is all about keeping the attention of the audience on YOU and not the cards. This is the misdirection that is needed to pull this off.” – Adam Davies
“The word anchor comes from NLP whereby when you get an emotional response from someone, whether it is being happy, sad, excited, positive, negative etc.” – Adam Davies
—————————————————–
Lets get something straight before we continue. When I talk about using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) in mentalism and magic, I’m not talking about using it in some sort of way to use psychological mind control like some ‘mentalism professionals’ claim they are using.
I’m not talking about when they ‘say’ they are using it to influence your decisions when picking a card, a box or just about anything. This isn’t actually possible. Don’t be fooled by the professional mind reader’s or mentalist’s false explanation for a trick. You cannot control people with NLP to the extent they say they do. This just isn’t possible.
So now we’ve made that clear lets talk about a method where you CAN use it in a magic tricks. This is to make a crowd reaction stronger. This stuff actually works and will subtly add to your mind reading effects.
I’m talking about using NLP ‘Anchors’.
So what is an anchor?
The word anchor comes from NLP whereby when you get an emotional response from someone, whether it is being happy, sad, excited, positive, negative etc. you anchor that emotional response with touch (kin-aesthetic anchor), sound (audio anchor) or vision (visual anchor). You can then bring about that emotional response by activating the anchor you set.
Here’s an example:
If you casually touch someone’s knee every time they laugh, after about the 8th time, you can touch them on the knee when they aren’t laughing and they will get a feeling like they want to laugh. You could also use a different type of anchor like a word with a different tone of voice (audio anchor), or a hand gesture (visual anchor) as a more subtle way of anchoring. Or, you can even use them all at the same time to leave a stronger anchor.
This can be abused and it already has been by pick up artists worldwide by using anchors to trick the opposite sex into thinking they have a stronger bond with the person than they really do. If you choose to use anchoring for that reason that is your business but I take no responsibility for your actions.
So how can you use anchoring in magic and mentalism?
There are numerous ways to do this and it really deserves its own book but I will share with you one method..
It’s quite simple, every time you perform a trick and the audience reacts with amazement (you need to do a good trick by the way – I recommend an Ultimate Mind Reading trick of course;-)..) you need to anchor that response. If it’s a one on one setting, you can casually touch the spectator on the shoulder every time they react with amazement. Otherwise, if there’s a bit of a crowd, you could bang on the table and say a word like “Jesus!”. This will anchor the emotional response of amazement with the crowd.
You can then bring them to a feeling of amazement more easily if after every trick you bang on the table and say “Jesus!”.
This is a subtle way of adding to your mentalism and mind reading tricks and the best anchors are by creating your own which you feel comfortable doing yourself.
Have fun.
