There are many disciplines related to illusionism or derived from it.
One of them, for example, is mentalism . The latter is based on a series of psychological techniques, giving the impression of having supernatural abilities, such as mind reading and telepathy .
In reality, the mentalist uses psychological techniques to understand people’s minds.
What are the techniques of the Illusionist?
To become professionals in disciplines such as illusionism or mentalism it is necessary to study and put into practice many rules related to human behavior.
First of all, a clairvoyant or illusionist observes attentively the person in front of him. Initially we try to have a basic identikit of the person, analyzing clothing, age, posture and facial expression.
Body language is very important. It is a series of signs that outline a person’s personality.
Adjusting your hair, touching your nose, shifting your body weight from one foot to the other, eye movement, are just some of the signs through which personality is manifested.
Derren Brown, a famous English illusionist hypnotist says: “My techniques are designed to read people’s subtle nonverbal cues that betray their thoughts. I tend to see this as a game.”
There is also another technique called Shotgunning. Literally, this word means “shooting in the pile.”
The Shotgunning technique consists of expressing a series of generic concepts and information , hoping that someone present will recognize himself in one of them. Sometimes it may be a characteristic related to one’s character rather than a past experience.
The person takes the bait, recognizing him/herself in a word or phrase. From that moment on, the subject will be more attentive to other information, which is usually related to the first one. In this way you will recognize others and so on.
Finally, another technique widely used to read people’s minds is the one that refers to the face. The expression of the face in fact expresses a multiplicity of information. The latter are of fundamental importance to fully understand who we have in front of us.
On the face shine emotions such as anguish or anxiety or joy. Facial expressions are more reliable than body gestures.
