 What's up guys? It's Josh back again with another video. We're out here getting ready for community night. It's gonna be lit It's gonna be a good time How's everyone doing tonight so far? Like she said, we're going to explore explore the human mind and what is exactly possible Unlike unlike our last trick this time it we're just it's just gonna take place in the minds of the volunteers Jake you want to explain it? Yeah, so first of all We got introduced already, but my name is Jake. I'm Josh and together We're Jake and Josh Tonight we're gonna be performing a specific type of magic called mentalism And mentalism it usually involves very few props and it involves kind of interactions between spectators minds and the minds of the magicians and there's two main types of mentalism The first type involves reading people's thoughts reading people's facial expressions body language Subtle movements that can give you a clue into what they're thinking That's the first type the second type of mentalism involves actually manipulating people's thoughts and Influencing what they're thinking placing images placing feelings into the minds of your spectators So we're going to begin with a trick that Josh is going to perform. That's going to be Exploring the first type of mentalism, which is reading your thoughts All right, like Jake said tonight Everything that I do will be purely based on the facial expressions the body language Whether you're leaning this way twitches in the eyes Everything will be reading actual body language to discern what they're thinking so before I start. I need a volunteer Also before I start I want all of you to see this empty envelope right here We're going to get back to it later All right here is a Shuffled deck of 52 playing cards every card is different every card is unique Rosa what you're going to do in a second is you're going to choose one. Okay? All right, as you can see they're all different All right fair. Yep. All right all I want you to do is I just want you to touch one. Don't let me see No, I want to ask you do you want to keep going? No, you sure he's in a second you're going to be like what if I cut down? It's totally up to you. It's totally up to you Pretty set hard. Okay. Yeah, I want you to look at that card. I want you to take it. I do not want to see it Okay, can you show everyone for me? Okay, I really don't want to see the card, but I'm gonna walk back with a sharpie. Can you take this? Don't mark it don't mark it what I want you to do. I'm gonna be faith. I'm gonna be facing this way So there's no way I can see Jake might. Yeah, they can't be with me with the blindfold. We're good. We're good Okay, um Rosa I want you to think of the name of somebody that's close to you somebody that you admire Somebody that you look up to or maybe it could just be like a personal friend But something that is important in your life think of their first name like a short first name Something that could fit on the playing card and when you have that name in your mind You're thinking of it. You're visualizing it What I want you to do is I want you to take the pen once you're right on the face of the playing card But the part with the value nice and big this person's name. Okay, let me know when you're done and what? Nice and big so everyone can see it Everyone have the name Take the card face down. Okay, everyone get one last glimpse of the car Hold on to the deck, okay Okay, so you thought of somebody's name somebody that's personally. Yes, would you say it's somebody you look up to? Yeah, for sure. Okay. Um It's this is this a more of a parental figure or or you'd say a friend Okay, interesting. Um, what I want you to do is I want you to visualize the last interaction you had with this person When was this interaction? What you do is I want you to visualize that interaction. Okay every single moment I want you to visualize this person's face as you walk up to them and talk to them I want to visually visualize every single aspect of the moment. Give me a nice clear mental image. Okay Okay, now I want you to imagine something. Okay, do you have this person's contact in your phone? Yes, I do Okay, I want you to imagine that this person is calling you. Okay, your phone is buzzing in your pocket It's ringing. Everyone gets mad because her phone is dialing in the middle of an open room. She takes it out She looks at the name. Okay, I want you to visualize what that name is Okay, now I want you to shout that name in your mind. Okay, just shout it Joey Joey or something just keep going see see how she's bobbing her head once at a time See like if I were to say like Joey, right my head would bob twice, right? But she's only bobbing her head once which tells me that the name is only one syllable am I correct? Yes, I am correct. Okay. Awesome. Now now I want you to look at me. I'm gonna run through the alphabet Okay, I don't want you to give me any facial signals at all. Okay a b c d e f g There's an a there's an a in the name. Okay a b c d e There's a c two isn't there. Okay, make this hard on me Rosa. Okay, please What would you say the Okay, don't don't answer this question. Is the c towards the beginning or the end Beginning or they don't tell me. Okay, so not to the beginning. Okay Okay a b c d e f g h i jake you say h i j k for me So there's an eye. Okay. Awesome. Um, I think I think I have enough letters. Okay Everyone knows this card everyone's thinking of that card, but I didn't get a chance to see it What I'm going to do is I'm going to just say it right here. You ready? It was a name that you were thinking of the name You just just merely thought of the name that you the person you've been visualizing in this whole time. Was it Claire? It was Oh, but we're right Rosa one more thing. Um, you picked a card, right? Do you remember what card that was? Yeah, it was a two of hearts wasn't it? Okay. Thank you Josh that was amazing So that was the first type of mentalism you could tell that Josh was able to read Rosa's thoughts based on her reactions to different cues now the thing you might not have realized is that Josh and I have been choosing our words very carefully throughout this performance We've been choosing our words in such a way to suggest a particular image To all of you and to try to plant a particular image in your minds So without further ado, I'm going to demonstrate what we've been working so hard on for the last five minutes Thank you So I have a deck of cards right here It's in a metal clip to make it harder for me to access and before the show started I turned over one card face up in this otherwise facedown deck of cards And I'm gonna need someone to hold on to this for me during the trick Here The second I'm gonna have you come back up here. Not not right now, but in a couple of minutes I just want to make sure that's that's good with you. All right So 52 play cards We have diamonds sure you don't want the ace of spades Three diamonds, did I hear three of diamonds? Okay the Queen of diamonds That was a pretty free choice, right? I Just conjured up the image of a queen of diamonds in your head. Just picked it Shame you didn't pick something else No change your mind You're good Lizzie we come up here with that second playing card. So remember at the beginning I said Good job on the volunteer Jake Now at this point I will take the deck of playing cards She doesn't trust you You take the metal clip off now remember I said that I Was trying to influence you to think of a particular Image all right. So I want you to notice that all the cards in this deck are face down Except for the Queen of diamonds. That's real. Yeah The other really interesting thing about this is that Some people might be thinking oh, he's you know, he's a magician He probably used slight a hand to slip that card in I was definitely thinking that yeah There's and how would I prove that that was truly A prediction that was truly a unique card that just happened to be happened to be the card that Danny thought Well, this deck is blue and this card Is red So there's truly no way that it couldn't have been any other card that Danny thought of Don't worry, Jacob. You'll get your moment to shine Um, so I hope you enjoyed what Jake just performed. We have one final effect for you guys tonight. We're really excited about it. Jake take it away I wrote a book here. Um It's aerostials of politics Right there But in a moment, I'm gonna need someone to come up and join me on stage So the third and final time That's okay So in a moment what we're gonna do is I'm gonna have you select a page and the way we're gonna do this Is that I'm gonna run Down the side of the book or if you say stop we're gonna bookmark that page, right? Okay So um, tell me when to say stop wherever you like Stop right there Perfect. All right. So the next thing I'm gonna have you do is that I'm gonna need you to look at the page And remember the page number And the first word on that page should do that for me. Yep. All right. I'm gonna pick it to you So I can't see it in any way. Do you see that right there? Uh-huh. All right, perfect You have that numberized in your brain Yeah, perfect. Yeah, you have the word And the uh page number memorized in your brain. There's no way I could see it. There's no way Josh could see it There's no way probably anyone in the audience So Now we're gonna go and um, I'm gonna read your mind. Okay. Ready? Sure. You want to hold on to this book for me? Sure. All right hold on to that so Let's see here. Um I want you to picture that page when you picture the page number and when you picture the word. All right um So One two three four five six seven eight One two three. Okay, so there's three numbers. There's there's a three digit number of the page. Is that correct? Yeah, all right. It's a three digit picture. Great. Um, we're gonna want poker face Well, see, it's not about the poker face. It's about the poker shoulders actually Okay, um one two three four five six seven eight nine ten ten nine eight six seven five four three two one 100s Should be page 152 All right, so you you looked at page 152 in this book now stay with me I don't want you to go anywhere. Okay, and don't worry. You can you can trust me, right? Have a kind of um spectator magician dynamic here. I'm not going to abandon you in any circumstance Is that is that the word? Page 152 of the word is abandoned All right, you guys That's like hate on jake or anything because he's kind of a fellow magician that I respect the guy, right? um All all of that you just saw was it was complete bs like none of that was real at all. Okay, because actually I I hate I hate to do this, but you thought jake was performing the first type of mentalism, right? But in actuality, um, I was performing the second Do you remember the envelope I handed out at the beginning of the performance? Absolutely crazy would it be if inside that envelope is a piece of paper with not only the page number written on it But also the first word on that page that alex just randomly chose Now watch this this is gonna happen very slow. Jacob. Can you hold that in the love up in the air? Wait, but the judge that's a page from the book, but alex just looked at that In that book and find page 152 for that Please find page 152 it should be in there somewhere right because you just looked at it You show everyone Uh, I'm josh. Thank you. Yeah
