Hello guys! Just to make it clear what mentalism actually is. First of all, there are two main directions of mentalism. First one is psychology, and the second one is magic. This blog is about magic type mentalism, that means magic tricks that would include mind reading, psychokinesis and other mental "powers" to demonstrate to a spectator. I have to say that it is wise to dedicate some time to psychology as well. It would help you to become a truly successful mentalist. You would want to know people's instincts, motives, basic manipulation tricks, non verbal communication and a lot more of pure psychological stuff.

Getting back to mentalism as a type of magic. Check out this video and see what mentalism is in action, performed by the famous illusionist Mr. Blaine:


Impressive, huh?
