How Do Magicians Guess What You Draw?


With this technique, wizards can guess what you’ve drawn and even reproduce the entire painting almost perfectly. After a viewer has drawn something on a piece of paper or card, magicians often use tricks to peek at the drawing.

Magicians are able to guess what you draw because they place the drawing within a deck of cards and transfer it from one hand to the other while appearing not to. The card is flipped in the process. Then, the magician looks at the card and is able to see what was drawn.

When the wizard shuffles, no one in the audience will doubt, so One Way is a safe and easy way to quickly look at the drawings. The card is at the bottom of the deck (the one shown above), and the wizard has several ways to view it.

The spectator chooses a card, draws what he wants from it, and asks the magician to return it. Ask a member of the audience to open the envelope and show a simple drawing or picture. Before the performance, ask an audience member to draw a simple drawing or picture, seal it in an envelope, and keep it to yourself. Later in the show, you invite an audience member to think of a simple drawing or picture, and after a period of concentration, draw something on a notepad.

After a while, you can take a second card or a sheet of paper and, after carefully looking into the eyes of the audience, begin to draw and replicate the drawing that you remember when you looked at the drawing on the drawing.

How the Mentalist Reads Your Mind

The trick is when the mentalists make you put the card in an envelope and seal it. The mentalists will hand you a card among the cards they are holding and show you a regular pencil. The mentalists will often ask you to write only a single digit on the card they give you. Although, in fact, mentalists write down a single digit very quickly while their hand is on the card.

Then, when you write your pencil, the psychologist pretends to use a normal pencil to write down numbers that they can magically see in their minds. Psychologists use various methods to guess numbers to find the answer, then write the answer down and put it in a special envelope, or after you write your pencil, they write it down using something called a Swami pencil. One of the most amazing “tricks” they do is guess the numbers in your mind.

Here you just have to write any number you like on a piece of paper and keep it private so that the psychiatrist cannot see it. Here, the psychologist will first predict on a piece of paper the most likely answer you will give and save it. A psychiatrist will make you come up with a number and write it down, and really good people can hire other people to help them read your mind without props. What psychologists do is closely related to card tricks and pulling rabbits out of hats.

Control Your Thoughts or They Will

What I’m finding is that the sole purpose of most techniques is to contract your mind to get the answer the psychoanalyst is trying to say, or use your body language to explain your thoughts.

Most of what you see these days are just concocted tricks that twist your mind a little and create the illusion that a real magic show is going on when a psychiatrist simply uses your body posture and guides you to the end , you will be forced to have your own brain to say what they want. It looks like wizards can read minds, but the secret to this technique is sleight of hand, combined with great performance. I’ll use some techniques from Derren Brown and other magicians to explain how easy it is to make people think you can read their minds.

If you’ve been wondering how to force yourself to crack the code of every trick every time you see a mentalist use the attention his audience is giving him, you will. After wowing the audience with your first illusion, explain how you got one of them to draw the drawing ahead of time and ask them to bring the envelope.

To hide the reason for opening the envelope, a typical variant used by mentalists is for the audience to write questions on their cards, which the magician will answer. The trick is that the magician asks the person to write their answer and put it in an envelope.

In both cases, the mentalist opens the envelope to “make sure the mentalist got it right” or perhaps “see what’s confusing” and then can read what a real member of the public has written about his blank. The difference between this and other tricks is that the map is never given to mentalists. Before the trick is performed, the mentalist draws a card. The mentalist wants you to tease his hand with colorless lip balm. Once the mentalist is done, he will use every means possible to get you.
