I’m almost
sure that you’ve heard about the art of illusion or seen a magician in a circus.
Also, you must have been wondering “How is it possible?!” In this article, I’m going to tell you about
something even more interesting. Have you ever heard about mentalism?!
Generally, we can’t say that
mentalism is directly reading people’s minds. It’s rather a combination of different
stuff like hypnosis, telepathy etc. used to manipulate others and make them
believe that you read their minds. As we’ve said, it’s not about reading in
minds but rather about reading people’s body language and making deductions from it.
Of course, it’s not easy but the reality is that most people can learn to read
minds with training, time, focus and a certain set of various skills.
Shotgun Statements are one of many classic mentalist tricks. They allow you to seem
psychic by making incredibly accurate statements about a person… but if those
statements are broad enough, it’s highly likely that some of them will be
correct.
Now:
To use this technique, just guess traits/events in a person’s life but be
very broad in your guesses. So don’t say ‘You
have an aunt who died recently’… that’s too specific.
…But if you guess ‘you or someone
close to you has an elderly relative who died’, you’re very likely to be
correct, right?
And people almost always assume that you have a mental gift, instead of
assuming that your statements are flawed. Cool, right?
Here I’ve shown you one of many
tricks that you can find on the web and
make use of them when you will have such
an opportunity.

As regards mind reading I consider this in the same group as other super abilities -- they will poison your life but you will be dependent on them. Imagine what would be if you could read someone s thoughts. The relationship between you and people will not be the same, you will build a wall that separates you. Knowing all the info, their sacred thoughts about you, and not be able to reveal it in order not to bust yourself, your attitude will still change and could not be unnoticed. You will push people away from you and you will be really lucky if you find strength within to abandon this strength and hopefully, return to your normal life. Same will go with infinite money, etc. etc.
Generally you don't have to build a wall in every relationship, maybe there are people that like you even in their minds.
As far as brain power are concerned I belive that people don't realize how much they can gain by developing specific skills in their brain - there is so much knowlage around us.. We just have to where to look for ;)
Yes, I've heard of mentalism. I think everyone knows the TV series the Mentalist) Very interesting topic.
2.Can you find more proper or improper ways of using it?
I think it can only be used for entertainment purposes. Mentalists generally don't mix "standard" magic tricks with their mental feats. Doing so associates mentalism too closely with the theatrical trickery employed by stage magicians. Seriously can only be perceived Neuro-linguistic programming.
3.Do you think about your brain as a powerful tool? Or you have a different opinion?
I think so. We very much underestimate the possibilities of our brain, and don't use its potential.
Not everyone ;) There are people that have more important things to do than watching TV series and waste time :)
So far only improper ways of using it comes to my mind 😄 but I do believe that there is a way to use it proper. There are a lots of things that people are afraid to say and I consider it as a good use case.
For sure, brain is the most powerful tool. All physical limits are in our heads. We still don’t know a lot about our brain(because of our brain)
I think that this technique can be used to instill any information, probably like hypnosis. And just guessing by the crumbs on the mouth that a person had breakfast today or by the fact that a person has dirty socks to understand that he did not sleep at home, and without special possibilities it is possible.
Yes, no doubt, the brain processes all the information that I have time to notice and analyzes it. I probably do not believe that someone can read my thoughts, only if I do not show him the emotions with my facial expressions and micro movements. I would not want someone to get into my thoughts.
Yes, reading human thoughts is, I think, an immoral subject, and if it is used incorrectly, it will cause great problems for humanity.
Our brain is a powerful tool, we decide with the help of the brain, and we make decisions by sending the command from the brain to the organs of the body. The ability and power of the human brain have not yet been completely discovered.
I haven't heard about mentalism before. If I understood well,
the predictors use this skill for fraud :)
2. Can you find more proper or improper ways of using it?
I don't like people who sell it for something special and something truthful. For fun is acceptable.
3. Do you think about your brain as a powerful tool? Or you have a different opinion?
Yes, our mind is a powerful thing that we won't understand for a long time.
Yes, I've heard of mentalism. I watched a TV series with a similar name, this feature of the human brain is shown in great detail.
2. Can you find more proper or improper ways of using it?
I do not think that there are right and wrong ways to use mentalism. This is all relative. For someone to have a lot of money and live in comfort is right, and he will use any of his abilities for this. But all people are different. Many people want to help other people.
3. Do you think about your brain as a powerful tool? Or you have a different opinion?
I think our brain is the most powerful tool on the planet. But maybe not exactly mine. Its capabilities will be explored for centuries and it will surprise us for a long time.
As for how it can be used, I think that, like all forms of manipulation, mentalism can propably end being used to influence people both positively and negatively. As such, there are both proper and improper ways to use it.
Everyone's brain is a powerful tool - after all, it is responsible for quite a lot of rather important things like thinking. So yes, I do think that my brain is a powerful tool.
I believe that mentalism can be used in many ways. One of them may be police interrogation to manipulate witnesses and suggesting them that they know something.
Yes, I think that the brain is a powerful tool. For years, research in the field of artificial intelligence has been underway, and no one has ever managed to reproduce the thought, decision and emotional processes that are happening in people's minds.
Well, this technique can have a lot of ways to use, but this question is complicated. Let’s imagine, that a lot of people know this technique, how can we talk about freedom of thought then? But I’m for sure would love to have this ability anyway :D
Yeah, sure, brain IS a powerful tool, but as I know, people still cannot use 100% of it. Our memory space is giant and in most cases there’s no system errors :)
I doubt I could come up with other ways of using it.
The brain is an incredibly powerful organ which has a lot of untapped potential which we are yet to utilize.
Well I would love to try it on people who begs for money in City center or subway. Are they really need money. What will they do with it? I would give more money if I knew I’m not deluded or mislead.
My brain is powerful tool. I use it everyday. Sometimes I wish other would do it to ;)
Yes, this is a very interesting topic. To own such techniques you need to know a lot of details from various fields, such as psychology, for example. If such people really exist, then he must be a comprehensively developed person. No tricks, I believe, only the handling of facts.
Can you find more proper or improper ways of using it?
In fact, attackers who possess such techniques can harm society. There are a lot of them without it, even if we take into account the various scammers who own hypnosis.
Do you think about your brain as a powerful tool? Or you have a different opinion?
I don't doubt it. The human brain is the most powerful technology that becomes more advanced with each generation. It is thanks to him that we have technological progress.
The are a lot of ways to use it. E.g. if you have a problem to understand what other person have on their mind, it can be simply use to understand him I little bit more. But, on the other hand, it can be used to blackmail other people.
Our brain is an amazing and extremely powerful tool, but unfortunately, we are not able to use 100% of it. Maybe in the future we will learn how to use out brain a way more efficient.
I have heard about mentalism and this seems to be nothing more than being aware and communicate with people in a tricky way. For me it is quite interesting cause sometimes it happens that when you ask a question in a proper way you can actually get more information than you want.
2. Can you find more proper or improper ways of using it?
I think in general it is not good to manipulate people ;)
3. Do you think about your brain as a powerful tool? Or you have a different opinion?
Of course it is a powerful tool. On daily basis we usually do not think what we can do to develop it and how much knowledge we can adapt to make our lives better and easier.
If you are good enough you will be able to trick people and manipulate them.
I think of my brain as a powerful tool that I am using sometimes not as much as I should.
2. Of course it will be easier to get the truth from people’s mind but sometimes it’s better not to know it. And how can people protect themselves from illegal access to their minds?
3. Yes, I do. Scientists tell us that we use only 10% of our brain and it’s really hard to imagine what the other 90% can do.
2. this kind of skills has the same a lot of proper, the same as a lot of improper. Proper is that we could know when somebody's has a good intention for us or if he is honest. But one of the improper is that mentalist don't need to meet with somebody, to knows better him. I prefer get to know people in normal way like spend time with that person. And get to know what he/ she likes or doesn't like.
3. I think that human brain is powerful tool. We can invent some incredible things. But we have to develop our brains to be more creativity.
