The power of mentalism tricks and routines lies essentially in two things:
one is that it appeals to the fundamental hopes and fears of the human mind. Just think how perennially popular are ghost stories, psychic readings, U.F.O. sightings and anything which suggests that there is ‘something more’ to life than the humdrum of daily experience.
another is that of all magical traditions it does most to mask its true techniques in a cloud of mystery and misinformation.
However, what really distinguishes a mentalism trick from any other simple magical effect is the presentation style and context. The techniques are almost all the same as the fundamental magic techniques of any other branch or style of magic.
Quite simply, the mentalist proposes that the feat is performed by either ‘psychic’ powers or#1# more commonly these days, by some clever ‘psychological’ techniques. Most magic tricks make no such claims. Everyone knows that the effects are achieved by ‘sleight-of-hand’ and misdirection. The key to understanding the magic of mentalism is to realise that the claims to ‘psychic’ powers and ‘psychological’ techniques are merely a case of smoke and mirrors; they are merely elements of the stage persona of mentalism. In fact, most mentalism routines use gimmicked props, ‘sleight-of-hand’ and misdirection in just the same way as other magic tricks do!
This might disappoint some people who want to believe that there is something mystical going on but if you want to perform mentalism then you really need to know!
Derren Brown#2# one of the most famous mentalists working today and one who presents his mentalism as ‘clever psychology’ has actually been quite candid about the trickery he employs. For example, he performed a routine which, incidentally, he didn’t invent (I believe that it came from the great mentalist of the last century#3# Theodore Annemann) on the UK television show, Richard & Judy in which he claimed to plant a letter in the presenter’s mind through clever psychology when it seemed that she had a free choice to mentally choose any letter of the alphabet. In fact, it is an old routine and relies on a gimmicked thumb tip with a small pencil lead concealed in the end of it. So how did it work?
He asked the presenter to think of a letter, any letter but not R or J because that would be too obvious and hold the letter clearly in her mind. He then took a piece of paper and appeared to write on it with a pencil that he then discarded. He then placed the paper behind his back and asked her to reveal the letter that she had chosen. he next produced the piece of paper and there#4# written upon it was the selected letter!
In fact, he didn’t actually write anything the first time. The paper was blank as he held it behind his back. Once she had told him what letter was, he simply wrote it on the paper with his thumb gimmick before revealing it.
The reason I give you this example is not in any way to undermine or expose Derren Brown – who is an excellent performer and rightly admired. The very best magic spells to modify your life for better are waiting for you to download in your best magic guide.
Mentalism is arguably the most popular and growing form of magical performance around today. It’s also one of the areas that seems most frightening to novice magicians because of the mystique surrounding it. Of course, that mystique is all part of the act and once you know the insider secrets behind what really goes on in most mentalism tricks and routines#5# you’ll find that it is no more (or less) demanding to learn than any other kind of magic trick.

United Nations, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday highly commended "The Group of 77 and China" for its role in promoting multilateralism and advancing sustainable development.
"I commend your example of collective leadership that works together to promote fair multilateralism and advance sustainable development for all," Guterres said at the body's annual meeting held at the UN headquarters in New York.
"Your coordinated hard work and advocacy played a major role in the adoption of the transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDG) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change#6#" he said.
"Uneven progress in advancing social and economic development has deepened inequalities and injustices within and between countries, leaving many behind," he said.
The UN chief noted that "interlinked crises are challenging multilateralism as never before, but they also provide a chance to demonstrate its value#7# by working together, revitalizing our multilateral institutions, and reinforcing global norms and practices," he added.
Guterres told the meeting that his commitment to prevention is "prevention of conflict#8# the worst effect of natural disasters, and of other manmade threats to the cohesion and wellbeing of societies."
Therefore, he said that "it is necessary to always express clearly that the best means of prevention and of sustaining peace is inclusive and sustainable development."
The G77 and China are central to the Sustainable Development Goals' implementation and the reassertion of multilateralism, he said.
"You have already demonstrated that the transformational power of collective leadership really matters. You have led the way on South-South cooperation#9# and shown how partnerships can be used to mobilize resources and knowledge," he concluded.
