The cameras don't show it, but its the way his hand is moving when he asks her to stand straight and look at him. He moves his hand around like someone would a dialpad. When he gets to the area on the "dial pad" that is representative of the number on her phone's dial pad, she gives a micro-expression or "tell".
And he ALWAYS makes those little mistakes to make you think it's not fake.
The fact is that everything that can be fake on tv IS fake. Why spending time in practicing something you can make just by paying some young students 10 bucks each to act like they're really being mind readed?

OMG. He had called me that day. It's all coming back to me. I remember that call. It sounded familiar. I thought it was a mate or relative or some 'twat' I know pranking me. It was him all this time.
Those mistakes were build in to make it look more realistic, the trick is to make it look like magic while using a simple trick. The discribing of the second person etc. is just an act of course, all to make it look realistic, that's what he does for living: entertaining people.
the last number was a 7

Indeed, it's way better with a few mistakes - especially if they bring some comedy, like dialing the wrong number :)

I've heard his next trick will be to make his cock disappear up a young man's ass. Now that's magic.

i like how he' willing to admit that it he will make mistakes and this isn't perfect...
he doesn't believe in psychics and actual magic and i think he includes mistakes to show that

Also it sounds like the first one wasn't his mistake since the guy wasn't using his normal ringtone.
