Popular mentalism magic tricks and how to do them like a pro

Mentalism is the sub-division of magic where magicians use technical skills to perform the magic tricks, and the expert is called a mentalist magician. 

 

In addition, mentalism magic demonstrates psychic power or reading others’ minds. 

 

How cool is that even you know to read other’s people minds, and that’s all you will learn in the following segment. 

 

Popular mentalism magic tricks:

 

1. The triangle inside the circle


Ask the people to think about a shape like a square but not a square. The Majority of the people will believe in a triangle. 

 

Later, tell them to think of another shape around the same form. The significant people, who believed triangle as an answer to the first question, will think about the circle this time. 

The final touch is to tell them the answer; the triangle inside a circle. 

 

The trick logic: When you ask a person to think about the shape, people will draw hand images in the air or mind. There you go. This technique is called subliminal programming. 

 

2. Diamond card trick 


This is not the trick; it’s the influence. 

  • From the audience, call someone to choose any card from the deck. 
  • As you’re telling the people what to do, slightly move your hand towards the card with a diamond shape. 
  • Repeat the gestures & announce that they are thinking three of the diamonds. 

 

3. The number 5 


Ask the audience to think of any number and the number as a secret. Later, tell the, to add the following highest number to the number chosen.

 

For example, if they choose 15, the highest number will be 16.

 

Then the resultant number should be added by 9, subtracted by two, and remove the original number. 

The answer will always be five, irrespective of the number. 

 

4. The Read Hammer 


The series of questions is asked to implant a specific image in the audience’s head, and the person in the subconscious mind will never realize it. 

 

The questions are:

  • On what day is Christmas?
  • Hamburgers made of?
  • What government has USSR?
  • On what side of the road do people in Europe drive?
  • What is the one thing that is both color& tool? 

 

The answer is a red hammer because the USSR flag is red with sickle and hammer and others are the tricks questions. 

 

5. Great elephants from Denmark


Ask the audience or your friend to choose a number from 1 to 10 and multiply it by 9. Later, add the digits & subtract the result by 5. 

The answer will be 4, irrespective of the number. 

 

The second part is:

Ask the audience to give the number to each letter, i.e., A1, B2, C3, D4….and ask them to stop. 

The answer is D4. 

Now, ask the audience to choose a country from that letter “D.” The Majority will choose Denmark since many people are familiar with this name. 

 

The third part is:

Ask them to choose an animal from the following letter is “E .”The animal will be Elephant due to obvious reasons. 

Therefore, the answer is Grey Elephants from Denmark. So, you see how obvious the answer is. 

 

6. Shotgun 


This is the technique where you make absolute bold statements about a person and seem trustworthy. 

But one condition is that you have to be broad about those statements. 

 

For example, instead of saying recently, your family member died, say recently, you recently lost a family member who was very close to you. 

 

Even the death happened two years ago, the person will never be considered as a forgotten past statement because of the emotional touch. Hence, your trick will work great.
