btw everyone, its the ILLUSION of psychology.. while he asks u questions he watches your hands, as time goes by from the questions the hand holding the object slowly tightens automatically and you can tell which hand its in by looking at the knuckles. the knuckles with the item get whiter
This isn't a trick... it's pure psychology NLP. At first, he embedded a command, 2nd, is pure psychology same as the 3rd for those who weren't focusing on the words he was saying, where he took steps away, telling her that she will say something that would give her away. third is obvious as of course, the unconscious mind takes over as our minds are hadwired to hide things we do not want others to see. Therefore, she kept it under where it won't be obviois for us to see, but of course obvious to NLP practitioners. I am an NLP practitioner myself. It takes one to know one. Cheers! ;)
He touches her hands every time, PK. The object is not even borrowed, magnetic ball, sensor either a PK ring or the minidetectorPK underneath his watch. You can do this without gimmicks, which is a lot better a you can then used a borrowed objects.
You need to pick that up again man! It's really cool! I have been brushing of my lock picking skills again. I had not held a lock pick in 12 years and frankly, the knack was gone but you pick it up quickly again.
Nice 2 card monte with only 4 cards. I prefer David Blaine's way because the appearance of the 2 Q is unexpected, but I have been caught doing the top change sometimes.
I would have thought the 9 was because after the ace then the 7, she would be enticed to move as far away in the other direction as possible. Is that how he did it? By indicating the pattern of middle to right?
At least a few folk turned around to double check it when they were crossing the road. Have we found a serial killer responsible for up to 39 traffic related deaths a year???
You don't even need that. I'm not entirely convinced by the "no magic methods" he claims. For someone who almost uses Derren Brown's exact script in every trick, I'm surprised he would use a different method to Derren for the same effect. Also, the way he behaves is far too similar to how he would were he using the particular method the Derren uses and the one I suspect being employed here.
every so called psychological trick is just a trick! Explanation for this trick: just swap the labelled cards while your subject is drawing a star. Compare the symbols (for example square on 4:32 with square on 6:28) and see they are drew different :-)
Hi toruga, excellent performance, if u like that kind of mentalism i recommend you docc hilford dvd "monster mentalism" there are some killer effect inside too ;), I just a have a question how many picture do u use in your routine ?????
First effect is not a psychological force (such as suggesting a star on a tree) but based on a old principle in magic. No matter where the girl stops the prediction will always be corrected. I am not going to reveal the principle. The second trick, I have no idea what so ever as to how it was done.
This version is much much better than the other one, well done. In this one they were astounded by your mentalism and your bravery, rather than feeling horrified at a man who is risking their safety. I would like to see you doing at least a few sleight of hand effects like your 'out of this world' effect before I would actually class you as a magician/mentalist.
can some one break down the second suggestion for me I'm not sure i fully understand, and it still sounds like he is pronouncing the 't' in start to me not saying star
