Chapter 1: What is Mentalism?

For many, reading the initial introduction might get them wondering just
what in the world mentalism is. For some, mentalism might just be some
cool little tricks. But there is more to it than just that, and you’ll see what
exactly falls under it. It’s not just the fun card tricks where you can read
your friends minds to determine what card they have in their hand, it’s
something else.
Now one might think that mentalism is something bad. The truth is, it’s not
a bad thing at all. Mentalism allows you to explore a world that is rarely
touched. Sure it’s a show and there are different ways to do it, but overall
you can learn to go beyond the physical with it. You might wonder if you
can use this to predict the future. While the future is always in your hands
and capable of being changed, you can use this in small amounts to detect
just what exactly is going to happen. For example, you can read people and
determine what they’re going to do in an effective way using these tricks
and different means. There is a lot to this, but once you try it you’ll realize
that this whole thing falls under a big umbrella of various concepts.
Mentalism, in the broader sense, is a practice used by illusionists. For
example, magicians, mediums, people who practice divinations, and even
sometimes with hypnosis. Some of the common things that fall under this
are telepathy, clairvoyance, divination, precognition, psychokinesis,
mediumship, mind control, amazing memory feats, and even hypnosis in a
way. Many magicians are famous for using these tricks, and it’s something
that many have become experts with. There are also fortunetellers, and
these guys are also specialists in such things.
The origin of this comes from the 19th century. There were tests of
supernatural power carried out by mediums, spiritualists, and psychics that
used these types of tricks. There were also accounts even before that which
used the mentalist tricks to predict the future. For example, Greek oracles
did this type of thing by viewing things into the future. It’s one of the tricks
people have used for a long time. At first, it was a way to predict the future
in previous times. But now, it’s used as a performance mechanism. The
earliest magician was Girolamo Scotto, who was a pioneering magician at
his time. Mentalism is used primarily these days as street magic to entertain
audiences.
The styles of mentalism can be anywhere from little tricks used to impress
people to big, bold claims by a few people about the existence of
supernatural powers. The existence of that is still unknown, but anyone can
be a mentalist if they try hard enough. There are different things one can
learn to become better at it, but they do take some work to perfect.
Remember, although it looks real, it is an illusion. To perfect an illusion,
you need to practice. Most magicians do that type of thing. They work for
hours upon hours just to give a mind-blowing performance. Mentalism
does have a difference between their skills and a magician. A magician
asks people to suspend their belief and make it an illusion. However,
mentalism employs more mental feats than anything. They’re both fun to
do and can really create a great illusion for the audience.
Now that you know the difference between the two of them, it’s time to find
out why you should know about mentalism and why you should even care
about this sort of thing. There is something cool with it that you’ll
definitely want to learn more about.
Chapter 2: why should you Practice mentalism

After reading what it is, you’re probably wondering why you should care so
much about mentalism. After all, it is an illusion right? Well, there are
reasons for you to care about the feats of mentalism. There are so many
cool things that you can get out of it, which you don’t want to hold back
your desire for knowledge when it comes to this. The results of this are
many and interesting to learn about. In this chapter, you’ll learn why
mentalism is important and what it can do to help you in your life.
The first thing is of course, is that it’s entertaining. You can impress your
friends and loved ones with knowing these types of things. You can do cool
things with it such as put up and illusion in order to get people to think
differently.
It also allows you to think outside of the box. In our world, many of us
constrict our imagination to only the things that we see. However, don’t
you want to know how you can see things beyond that sometimes? It could
end up being a ton of fun, and you might learn some new things you never
expected. There are many things out there that we don’t know, and looking
at the things that are past the physical universe can be helpful at times. It
can really change the way you look at life, and it can also make you see
things in a whole new realm.
It can help you explain your horizons as well. Expanding your own
personal horizons can really change the way you look at life. Seeing life
only in terms of black and white can be fun for a bit, but you’re missing out
on a lot if you do that. By trying out mentalism, you can start to see the
world beyond the way others do. You’ll be able to look at things in a
different light, which can be really cool at times. You can expand the way
life is for you if you do practice mentalism.
Another thing that it can do for you is that it allows you to contact things
that you might not get to contact. Do you think you could normally contact
beyond this world? It’s had to, but if you practice mentalism you’ll be able
to see a whole new world that will look bright and amazing to you.
All of these things are great reasons to try out mentalism, and when you do
try it out you can see for yourself just how much it changes your outlook on
the world and what it means for you to be a mentalist. Its fun, and you
learn a lot from it.
Chapter 3: How to Read someone like a Book

One of the simplest mentalism tricks out there is to learn to read people like
a book. You can do this without having to take a whole lot of time doing
so. It’s fun, and by learning how to do this you can become an ace in
learning to read people and the way they’re feeling and acting. It’s super
simple too, so you don’t need to spend a ton of time doing do.
The first thing to do is see what they’re like. Look at their clothing and the
way they act. If you see something that you notice, like wrinkles and such,
you can tell that they’re older or they’ve been exposed to the sun. Look for
obvious things about them, and that’s how you can look at someone and
know what they’re like right away. First impressions do matter, and you
can tell just what a person is and tell what they’re going to be like to you in
no time at all.
The next thing is body language. This can be a bit more complicated, but
it’s easy if you know what to spot. The most obvious one out there is how
they react when they see you. If they move away, that means that they’re
stressed and don’t want to be around you. If you see that they’re clenching
themselves together or they’re holding their arms together, that could mean
that they’re stressed and anxious as well. You can also interpret that as
they’re not friendly towards others. If they’re staring at you, that can also
mean anxiety or fear. However, it can also mean that they like you. If
they’re distracted, it could mean they’re nervous or they don’t want to talk
to you as well. This is the one thing you can interpret just by the way
they’re conducting themselves. It’s pretty easy to do as well if you know
how to do it right too.
The final thing is motivation. It’s what makes the person tick. This can be
seen in dialogue obviously, but it can also be seen in the way that they
look. If they’re smiling but not wrinkling their eyebrows, then that means
the smile is probably fake. Another thing is listen to the way they laugh. If
it’s forced, then it’s fake. Another thing to look at as well is how
comfortable they’re around you. See if they’re willing to be open with you
or if they’re still unsure. Finally, look at what they talk about. See if they
want power, friendships, or something else if this is in a romantic sense.
You should be able to tell all of these things without having to delve too
deep into it.
All of these things are helpful to conduct one of the simplest mentalism
tricks in the book. That is the reading of body language. The next chapter
will give you a physical mentalism trick that works wonders.
Chapter 4: how to feel Like you’re Walking on the Ceiling

Walking on the ceiling is probably one of the easiest mentalism tricks out
there to do. It’s one that you can do from the comfort of your own home,
and unless the person is in the room, it should be an effective mentalism
trick that will impress people. You can use this to show people all the cool
things that you can do, even though this is one of the easiest tricks in the
book. To do this, you’re going to have to have a chair and a video camera.
The first thing you need to do is find a rolling chair that’s similar to the
color of the ceiling you want to use. Don’t use one that has a color different
to the ceiling, for it will look odd and people will catch onto that. You
should also refrain from using one that has grooves and indentations in it.
If you use one like that, people will notice and they might get suspicious.
Use one with a solid color to give the best effect.
After that, put your calves on the seat of the chair. They should be able to
touch the end of the seat cushion that meets up with the back. Push
yourself as far up against it as you need to in order to get that.
After that, move one of your feet up to the top edge of the chair. Keep one
in between the chair and the backrest to help balance yourself and to keep it
in position. Make sure that you’re up against the backrest as needed.
After that, simply roll around on the chair to make it look like you’re rolling
around on the ceiling. Keep your balance, and while you do it you should
be able to hold yourself up pretty well and without any issues on it
whatsoever.
This is one of the fun mentalist tricks that you can use when you’re trying
to impress your friends and to see how they might react to this. If you’re
going to videotape it just keep yourself in that position when you turn the
camera on. That way, they don’t realize that you’re getting into position
before all of this. it’s one of the easiest physical mentalism tricks out there,
and once you try it and master it people are really going to think you’re
walking on the ceiling. To make it even more impressive, you can move
your feet around as well. Just be careful and make sure that the chair
doesn’t roll away.
Chapter 5: Card mentalism tricks

Mentalism tricks using cards are probably the most popular of mentalism
tricks. These are the ones that people use all the time when it comes to
impressing their friends and showing off to others. They’re super easy to
do, and you actually can do this for your friends for them without having to
worry about it messing up. When you do this though, make sure that you
follow the instructions carefully so that you get the result that you want
with no other issues attached to it.
The first thing that you need to do is to get a pack of cards. You don’t want
to get the cheap quality ones. They don’t work as well, and you might mess
up more than you want to with them. The best ones to go with this trick are
the classic Bicycle cards that are usually sold in stores. You can probably
get them at Walmart or other stores like that.
The next step is to bring out the deck of cards at a party with friends. When
you do this though, don’t let your first audience be a bunch of people that
you don’t know and who might get mad at you for doing a trick wrong.
Those types of people don’t need to see it, because if you’re not fully ready
they might get mad at you over the trick. Practice a lot beforehand. Do it
until you’re sure that you won’t screw up on this thing. It’s simple, but as
long as you do it right you’ll definitely get the results that you want.
The first thing you do is you look at the bottom card and remember what it
is. That’s very important.
Next, you pull a couple of the cards towards your body one at a time. Do
this in a slow and steady fashion. If you do that, then you’ll surely get the
result you want. You want to make sure that you don’t pull it completely
off though.
The next thing to do is to get the spectator to say stop. When they do, slide
the bottom card and the cards already moved off to where the spectator said
stop. Before you look at the card say the name of the card that you saw at
the beginning. That’s the one that you want, and you should turn over the
card and show the people that it’s the same one that you predicted earlier.
When you’re practicing this make sure that you do it a couple times to
ensure that you get it right.
After that, watch them be amazed by this. It’s a simple trick but it really
gets the audience believing that you’re a magician and you know what to
do.
This is a simple card trick that you can use on others. Remember, you have
to practice and make sure that you do it right before you show it off to
anyone else. It’s a fun trick, and once you do it right a few times you’ll
have people seriously believing that you are a magician and know what in
the world you’re doing!
Chapter 6: Tips and Precautions when it Comes to Mentalism

When you practice mentalism, there are a few things you need to watch out
for. There are also some great tips that you can use too. In a society where
it’s hard to convince people of certain things, making sure that you do card
tricks and other mentalism feats right might be harder than you think. In
this chapter you’ll learn of the different tips and tricks that you need to
know in order to make mentalism the best thing for you.
The first thing is to remember that there are different outcomes that could
come to mind. Mentalism is actually a science, and even though people
may wonder there is an explicit set of techniques that need to be followed
and done in order to make things correct when you do this. There are a
million wrong ways of doing something like this, but only one right away.
So make sure that you do the one right way each and every time. A
mentalist looks like they can read minds, but there are tricks out there that
they perfect in order to get the trick perfect.
The second thing to do is if you’re perfuming a tick that involves you
asking a person to think of their word, watch their lips. When a mentalist
asks them to think about it, the person will start to think about it until they
actually say the world aloud. It’s a pretty impressive trick, and when you
see it the first time you’ll be amazed. Make sure to be observant with that
type of thing.
That’s another thing you’re going to need to learn. That’s how to be
observant. Being observant is one of the biggest things that mentalists need
to learn. To perfect a trick, you have to look at the person and predict what
they’re going to do. It’s the only way to get the trick right, and you’ll see
for yourself just what it means to get a mentalism trick right when you’re
looking at the person. Your audience may not catch onto their actions, but
you certainly will.
Another fun thing that you can use is to misdirect a person. This will cause
them to think about something else, and you can invade their mind and read
it. It’s the perfect way to plant a thought into their mind so that you know it
but they don’t realize that you know it. People are suggestible, and this is
one of the tricks a mentalist can use when it comes to dealing with people
and ensuring that they do the right thing and follow the directions that you
give them.
Another thing to keep in mind is you can also fish for information. By
doing that, you can say broad and general statements that could apply to
any situation out there. That’s something many fortunetellers use. They
take the power of astrology plus the ability to fish for information in order
to appeal to people and get them to believe that you have read their mind.
For example, many people have money issues. You can usually tell this on
just about any person based off how they look. If you foretell things
involving money or numbers, people will start to believe it. It’s a cool trick,
and if you do it right people will actually think you know how to read
minds.
A final thing to learn is that practice makes perfect. In a technology age
where it’s harder to convince people that you’re reading their mind, some
people don’t listen to the illusion. It’s something that many don’t want to
believe, but they force themselves to believe it. You can see for yourself
just what happens when you do a trick wrong or reveal your secrets. The
best thing to do is to make sure that you don’t ever reveal your secrets, and
you should also make sure that you’ve practiced it so well that you know
exactly what you’re doing. If you do want to practice around others, then
make sure they’re in the company of friends before you do any such thing.
That’s the biggest thing you should practice if you want to show it off, for it
allows you to test your skills without getting booed at or criticized by
others.
All of these tricks will help you become the best mentalist that you can be,
and you’ll be shocked at just how easy it is for you to convince others that
you really are a mentalist that knows that they’re doing.
