another is that of all magical traditions it does most to mask its true techniques in a cloud of mystery and misinformation.


However, what really distinguishes a mentalism trick from any other simple magical effect is the presentation style and context. The techniques are almost all the same as the fundamental magic techniques of any other branch or style of magic.


Quite simply, the mentalist proposes that the feat is performed by either ‘psychic’ powers or Cheap Andre Hal Jersey , more commonly these days, by some clever ‘psychological’ techniques. Most magic tricks make no such claims. Everyone knows that the effects are achieved by ‘sleight-of-hand’ and misdirection. The key to understanding the magic of mentalism is to realise that the claims to ‘psychic’ powers and ‘psychological’ techniques are merely a case of smoke and mirrors; they are merely elements of the stage persona of mentalism.

In fact, it is an old routine and relies on a gimmicked thumb tip with a small pencil lead concealed in the end of it. So how did it work?


He asked the presenter to think of a letter, any letter but not R or J because that would be too obvious and hold the letter clearly in her mind. He then took a piece of paper and appeared to write on it with a pencil that he then discarded. He then placed the paper behind his back and asked her to reveal the letter that she had chosen. he next produced the piece of paper and there Cheap Corey Moore Jersey , written upon it was the selected letter!


In fact, he didn’t actually write anything the first time. The paper was blank as he held it
