Thirteen Steps To Mentalism
Okay little one, today I'm going to explain something called "Thirteen Steps to Mentalism." This is something that some people use to learn how to do mentalism, which is when you make people think you have special powers like being able to read their minds or predict their future.
Step 1. Swami Gimmick: This is a little piece of paper that you put on your thumb so you can secretly write down things that people are thinking.
Step 2. Pencil, Lip, Sound, and Muscle Reading: This is when you watch people very closely and use your senses to figure out what they're thinking, like noticing the way their lips move or the sound of their breathing.
Step 3. Mnemonics and Mental Systems: This is when you use special memory techniques to remember lots of information, like remembering a long list of words or numbers.
Step 4. Predictions: This is when you make a guess about something that is going to happen in the future, like what card someone is going to pick or what number they'll think of.
Step 5. Billets: These are little pieces of paper that you can use to secretly get information from people, like having them write down their favorite color without telling you.
Step 6. Book Tests: This is when you use books to figure out what people are thinking, like asking them to open a book to a random page and telling them what word they are looking at.
Step 7. Two-Person Telepathy: This is when you use a partner to help you with your mentalism, like having someone secretly tell you what a person is thinking.
Step 8. Mediumistic Stunts: This is when you pretend to talk to people who have died and try to give messages from them to the living.
Step 9. Card Tricks: This is when you do magic tricks with cards to make people think you have special powers.
Step 10. Question and Answer Acts: This is when you answer questions that people ask you without them telling you what the question was.
Step 11. Publicity Stunts: This is when you do something very public and attention-grabbing to get people to be interested in your mentalism.
Step 12. Patter and Presentation: This is how you talk and act when you're doing your mentalism acts, to make people believe you really do have special powers.
Step 13. Cold Reading: This is when you use your skills to make guesses about people's personalities or life experiences, even if you don't know them very well.
So there you have it, little one. Thirteen Steps to Mentalism. Remember though that it's just for entertainment purposes, and we should never try to trick people in real life or make them think we have powers that we don't really have.
