@2:54 it is difficult audience management on live TV when your participant comes front and centre with the method. It is enough to tear you up as a performer!
It is not a trick, it is not magic. Lion simply knows how to redirect people to a certain number or symbol, or he looks for tells. It is not enough to know what he does, but he has skills that take training and experience. So us normal people cannot just go out there and do this tomorrow.
The last trick, I am pretty sure he is listening to the sound the dice makes when he places it on the table. Each side makes a different sound so he just has to memorize the sound with the number. Still impressive
PRESENTER: 'I'm thinking of a rwo digit number' LIOR: 'I'll do something better than this' PRESENTER: 'Oh yeahhhh' LIOR: 'No no no no no!' (Pulls out trick dice instead........_)
he already said in an interview - its not "mind reading" it's predicting people and "push people" to choose specific things. he's just really good at it.
0:35 "I don't use any trickery" You know it's a lie, right, guys? Mentalism is make a person believe that the mentalist can predict something impossible BY LYING.
Some people watching TV are actually gonna believe he has super-powers. In my opinion, it's really bad when someone is dishonest with the audience. I think it can cause some damage...
He just know how to sell himself.. Very good infact.. Making people believe that its not a magic when it is.. Human mind is very easy to manipulate.. So basically everything he does its magic.
