Great Mind Reading Trick
Posted by: | CommentsThis eye mind tricks post deals with a simple but fail proof way to "read minds". It is a mind trick done using a deck of cards. There are two parts for it, but I will give you the second part, the part you go to if the initial trick doesn’t go as planned.
Briefly, you have told someone to think of a card and done your best to steer him to think of a particular card. You ask him what the card is and he tells you a different card than you have placed in your pocket. So you say to him, "That’s just what I was mind controlling you to say." He is not buying that you knew. You tell him that before you left home, you told your wife what the card was (the card he picked).
So you get on the phone. To him it looks like it is ringing a while, then you say, "Hello, Sue. Yes, I am here with Dan and he wants to talk to you."
What really happened during that time, is that when Dan thought the phone was ringing, Sue had already picked up as pre-briefed and started listing the value of cards Two, Three, Four, etc. When you said "Hello Sue." She stopped on the value of the card. Then she started going through the suits Spade, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs. When you said "Yes, I’m here…." She knew the suit and when Dan gets on the line can tell him his exact card.
Simple eye mind trick and VERY effective.
