More Truth About Magic And Mentalism

In my first article in this series, I exposed the real truth about magic but I didn’t touch on mentalism because I ran out of writing time. So I am going to tackle mentalism in this article. Just like with magic, mentalists really can’t read your mind. They just know a few tricks that I am going to point you to at the end of this article. After you get the info you’ll need, you’ll be performing mentalist routines with the best of them.


Okay, so what’s the deal with all these mentalists? How do they do the things that they do? Well, like I said, it’s all about the trick. There’s one trick where the mentalist makes you pick a card, takes the card, puts it back into the deck and without even looking through the deck, tells you what your card is and tells you that it’s the only card no longer in the deck. As you look through it, you find that he’s dead on. The card is not there.


Just a parlor trick, that’s all. But what about the really great routines? You know the ones I’m talking about. Those are the routines where the mentalist takes somebody out of the audience and tells him to take an object out of his pocket while the mentalist is turned around, stare at it, think about what it is, and then tells him to put the object back in his pocket. The mentalist then turns back around and after going into his little trance (some of these guys crack me up) he tells you what the object is.


Again, just a parlor trick. I won’t tell you how this one is done because it would really spoil it for a lot of people, but if you want to learn stuff like this, there’s a great resource for doing it that I’m going to tell you about very soon, so hang in there.


Point is, and you can believe this or not, there is no such thing as magic or mind reading. Nobody can read your mind or your thoughts. Without their assistants (yes, they have them) they’d be just another handsome face in the crowd.


But, if you want to learn this stuff, in my signature is a great resource that will actually have people thinking that you can do magic. You can read my review at my blog.


Magic? That’s only for kids.

So You Want To Be A Magician Read This

So, you want to be a magician. Well, you better read this article. It’s not all the glamour that you see on TV. Magic is actually hard work. Learning the tricks (yes, they are tricks) in some cases, takes a lot of skill and practice. Some tricks are so hard to do that it takes magicians months to perfect them. I’m even going to reveal one trick that you’ve probably seen many times. It takes a lot of skill.


The trick I’m talking about is where the magician shows you the penny. He them takes the penny from the one hand into the other. He closes the hand that the penny is in. He then opens up that hand and you see that the penny is gone. You wonder where it went. The magician then reaches behind your ear and pulls the penny out with the other hand and shows it to you. You’re in even more shock and awe. How did he do it?


Well, it’s called slight of hand and it takes a long time to master and do it smoothly. It’s hard to describe exactly how the trick works, but I’ll do my best. Essentially, when the magician puts the penny into his left hand from his right (or right hand from left if he’s left handed) what he’s doing is clasping the penny between the first and second finger of his transferring hand, down by the base of the hand. Because the penny is so small, and his hand is so big, you can’t see it. Then, when he takes that hand and reaches behind your ear, he shifts the penny into his fingers normally so that you can see the penny.


This sounds simple but trust me, this takes months of hard work and practice and some people never get it, especially if they have small hands. This is just one example of a trick that requires slight of hand and a lot of practice. And this isn’t even one of the harder ones. There are some that are much harder.


Point is, I don’t want you to think that doing magic is simply a matter of buying the trick and doing it. Some of them take a lot of work. In my signature is a review of a great online resource that will turn you into a crackerjack magician and mentalist. I think you’ll get a lot out of the review itself.
