Mental Magic Tricks – Categories, Methods and Effects
Categories
The four basic categories of mentalism effects are: predictions, telepathy, clairvoyance, and telekinesis. Predictions, of course, are effects in which the future is apparently anticipated Telepathy is the ability to “read people’s minds.” Clairvoyance is the “power” of second signal. In telekinesis, one appears to move (or otherwise effect, i.e., fold) physical matter with the power of thought.
methods
the basic four methods of mentalism include forcing, stealing, charging, and guessing. “Forcing” is that act of coercing your spectator into making the choice you want them to do while they seem have complete freedom. stealing, on the other hand, the covert obtaining of information. A good example of this is the classic mentalism effect “The Center Tear”, which will be described later in this article. The “charging” usually occurs in prediction effects
Let’s say, for example, that your viewers believe that your prediction is sealed in an envelope. They now freely select one of several objects on a table. If you were able somehow in secret insert your prediction after the selection was made, that would be “load”. Latest, fortune tellingIt’s exactly what it sounds like. In mentalism, however, “guesswork” is usually polite assumptions. A perfect example of this is a mentalism technique known as “cold reading.” In cold reading, the mentalist is essentially fortune telling certain facts about a person, but these conjectures are based on observations made by the performer. With that, let’s look at several classic mind magic tricks:
bent spoon
bent or bent spoon other metal objects is performed, like all magic, in secret. what i want to say in this case is that the curve is in fact done while viewers are not looking, then Revealed in such a way that it is done seem as if it were happening at that moment.
the gold star
In this Indeed, the spectator can freely choose one of the three stars of different colors. There is no forcing involved. Still, the magician can predict in advance which color the subject will choose. Here, we use a principle known as multiple exits. That is, there is actually three prepared predictions forward of time, and the appropriate one is revealed after the fact.
Duplicate Drawing
Here, lies another new beginning. It’s called “dual reality.” Before a show, a spectator is chosen and asked to draw one of several images and keep their drawing. Later in the show, when the drawing is “telepathically” duplicated, the rest of the audience believes that the subject might have drawn. anything. (Find out what the spectator drew did choosing is accomplished in different ways.)
three way test
The “One Ahead” principle is used in this one. Any three thoughts (as long as one can be “forced”) are elicited from the spectators. In apparently writing the first I thought, you are In fact writing the third one (the one you are going to force). He secures the first ticket from him, then ask them what he thinks. Write the first I was thinking while you seem be writing the second one etc
The center tear
On the central tear, viewers write some information, say a number or initials, inside a circle drawn in the “center” of a small piece of paper. Then this piece of paper is folded in half and in half again. The paper is then fold in such a way that secretly retain tea center of the paper Under the cover of various forms of diversion, this piece is read secretly, effectively”stealing“The required information.
alive and dead
If you tear a sheet of paper into nine squares, the center one will be the only one with torn edges on all sides If you ask your audience to write the name of a famous dead person in that slip, and famous living people all over the other underpants, you’ll have quite the trick on your hands. Ask them to put all the pieces of paper in a paper bag and shake them. You can then reach out and pull out the receipt with the deceased’s name simply with your sense of touch!
