Magic Mentalism Trick
Hi, Tim Mannix back again, professional magician teaching you another great magic trick. This is called mentalism in the art of magic. One of the categories that we do tricks, learn tricks and share tricks in is called mentalism. On the streets you might know it as mind reading or ESP things like that; we call it mentalism. If this is a new word to you, now you've got a new word to use. This is a great trick, simple to learn and easy to do. Of course, don't tell the secret, otherwise the mystery is gone. Okay, I have six objects: a deck of cards, a spoon, a business card (my business card), a butter knife, a salt shaker (it's empty), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and a pair of scissors. I am actually going to predict (here is where the mentalism comes), I am going to predict what Joe off stage here is going to select. Okay? I am going to write it down. I will try to make it big enough for you to see. We will verify. If this was an actual performance people could read it. But sometimes on camera it is not so easy to read. Okay. There is my prediction. I am going to put it face down. I will leave it there in front of you and Joe, I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 objects. Would you please pick an object? 2 and 4. Just one number. Which one? 2. Business card. I predicted that he would select the business card. Does it say business card on there Joe? That is right. Biz card. I am amazing.

Secret of the Mentalism Magic Trick : Magic Trick Revealed
Hey it's Tim Mannix, magician, back again on behalf of Expert Village to teach you the trick that you just saw. The amazing Mentalism trick with 6 objects. It can be any six objects. Ask the person to select a number. Remember here is the secret. Don't ask them to select an object because they will say a Salt Shaker. No, no. You've predicted it already. We will get to it in a second. Here is the secret to this. You see Joe or whomever you select will always pick a different number but you the magician will always end up with the same object. It is going to be whatever you put in position three. Next let's say I decided to put the salt shaker there instead of the business card. I would have to write on my prediction card a little slip of paper doesn't matter. I would write salt shaker. I will do that now. Again, that is called showmanship. Okay. Please Anne would like to hold the official prediction. Okay. You can fold it in half and ask her not to peek and then someone else in the audience is actually going to hold the prediction. They can read it at the end of your trick. Let's say we do that. For now, we will just leave it underneath here. All right last time Joe selected 2. So I spelled two out. Watch this. This is a great technique. Two. Wow. Of course you revealed to the audience wow I saw the salt shaker or the person in the audience reveals that. Well let's say, wait a minute. What if they pick 4,5 or 6? Here is the sequence and I will do it every single number. I got to tell you but 8 out of 10 people will pick no. 3 so you are in the clear. You can 1, 2, 3. It's funny given a choice of 1,2,3,4,5,6, 80 percent of the people will pick 3. After that generally they will pick 4. You don't start at that end. Here is how you get 4. 1,2,3,4. Oh looked you picked the salt shaker. Dadam Okay, it's all showmanship. What about 1? How do you spell 1, One. Joe picked 2. How do you spell 2. Two. Three 1,2,3 Four 1,2,3,4. What about 5 and 6? How do you spell 6. Six. You picked the salt shaker. What if I picked 5? No problem. Five. No matter what no. you select, I said that you would select the salt shaker and you did. Don't tell the secret.
