Predictions, telepathy, clairvoyance, and telekinesis are all types of Mentalism tricks. There are effects in which the future appears to be prophesied, and such is the case with predictions. To telepathize is to be able to “read the minds of others.” The “power” of second sight is referred to as clairvoyance. To use telekinesis, one must use the power of the mind to move (or, more precisely, bend) matter.
Methods
Force, theft, loading, and guessing are the four most common ways of mentalism. “Forcing” is the act of coercing your audience to decide what you want them to make, even when they appear to be free to do so. Contrary to this, information is obtained by theft, which is done in secret. The famous mentalism trick “The Center Tear” is an excellent illustration of this, shown later in this article. The term “loading” is most commonly used to refer to predictions. For more tricks and magic, click Magic Apps.
Let’s have a look at a few of the most popular mental magic tricks:
Spoon Deformity
Spoon bending, and other metal object bending is done discreetly, as are all Mentalism tricks. Bends are formed while spectators are not watching and then shown to make it appear like they are happening right now. This is what I mean by this.
The most prestigious award in the world
The observer can select one of three different coloured stars in this illusion. There isn’t any coercion taking place here at all. The magician, however, can forecast the colour the subject would select in advance. Multiple outs are employed in this situation. Three predictions were made ahead of time, and only the correct one was released after it had already happened.
Duplication of Drawings
One more new principle has been discovered here. “Dual Reality” is the term for it. In advance of a presentation, a spectator is selected and requested to sketch one of the various drawings and retain the drawing. Throughout the rest of the show, the audience believes that the subject could have drawn whatever they wanted. (There are several methods for determining which drawing was selected by the observer.)
Three-Test
This one takes advantage of the “One Ahead” idea. The audience provides three thoughts (as long as one of them may be “forced”). You’re writing down the third notion (the one you’re going to force) when you appear to be putting down the first one. Ask them what they think once you’ve secured your first slip of paper. The first idea should be written while you appear to be writing the second one, and so on.
Tears in the middle
Participants are asked to write down some information, such as a number or initials, in the “centre” of a little slip of paper that has been torn apart by the magician. The slip is then folded in half and then in half once more. As a result, the paper is pulled in a way that discreetly retains the paper’s core. It is then read covertly, “stealing” the necessary information under various disguises.
Those Who Are Alive And Those Who Are Not
Only the centre square will have ripped edges on all nine sides if you break a piece of paper into nine yards. To make things even more interesting, have your audience members write the names of renowned deceased individuals on one slip and famous live people on the rest. Then, have them shake up a paper bag with all of the slips of paper inside. You can then use your sense of touch to remove the label containing the name of the dead!
