In the series « the mentalist » Patrick Jane amazes his colleagues with incredible tricks. A real modern day Sherlock Holmes.

Well, you can do the same! And show off your apparent extraordinary observation skills and amaze everyone.

Easy to perform tricks that don’t require years of practice. Each trick is illustrated with pictures. Laurent Tesla tells anecdotes from his life, and his learning of mentalism. 

So what exactly is mentalism?

The effects of a hypnosis and mental show include

Predictions on the behaviour of the audience
Experiences of mind reading and transmission
Extra sensory experiences on the theme of the paranormal

Even if it is just for entertainment, the experiences of the spectators are real.
Emotionally they open up to real personal questioning.
It is not a dishonest manipulation (as some online articles claim) because the aim is to have fun! 

To achieve this, Laurent Tesla uses a number of techniques.
He mixes bluffing but also a real know-how, relying on observation, the study of gestures.

He also uses statistics, synchronisation, suggestion and memory.
Not forgetting influence, magic, behavioural psychology games.
And finally, decision shortcuts and attention diversion.

This type of show is intriguing because it appeals to the most personal part of us. Are we so easily influenced? (We know deep down that we are. We have the proof here) 

Are our thoughts as secret as we think? 

Some will see them as simple magic tricks, others as a sign of the existence of the paranormal. Still others will live these unusual experiences without preconceived ideas and will see it as an art.

So is mentalism hypnosis, magic or clairvoyance?

It’s a little bit of all of that at the same time, but always in the context of entertainment.

It’s the meeting of all these disciplines.
The aim is to entertain spectators, in the theatre or at a company event.

You could call it « a form of mind magic ». A magician delivers a perfect illusion for the eye. A mentalist will illusion the mental perception of the person in front of him. 

How to learn to become a mentalist

We all have this ability to learn in our brains, it’s not a gift or a title that we inherit.
There are not many in France, because you have to practice mentalism for years before you get good results. There are some interesting books and you can also find a lot of articles online on the subject.
You have to train in many different areas and know many practical tricks:

Charisma and self-confidence
How to detect lies
Mastering hypnosis
Mastering magic and distraction
Understanding the psychology of perception

The magician’s distraction
