Our Founder Just Taught Mentalism’s Core Skill at TEDx

Mentalists.net is run by See Magic Live, founded by Kostya Kimlat. In July he gave a TEDx talk called How To Read Anyone In 6 Seconds.

The subject is the skill underneath every mentalism effect. Before a performer appears to know the word a guest chose, he has already read that guest: who wants to be pulled in, who wants to be left with their drink, which person in a group of four is being talked over. Kostya taught that privately in corporate training rooms for twenty years. This is the first time it has been public.

Eighteen minutes, taught live with volunteers from the audience.

If you are researching entertainment for an event, watch it as a hiring tool. It shows you what a mentalist is doing in the parts of the night nobody is watching, which is the part a highlight reel never covers. It will also give you a better question for any performer you are considering, ours or anyone else’s: how do you decide who to approach?

You can see how the mentalists on our roster work a room in Strolling Interactive Mentalism and Group Mentalism Shows. When you have a date in mind, tell us about your event.
