Good Day! I just watched this guy on a tv show and he really impressed me. His mind is really powerful. Well, he was invited in that show and the audience has given some papers to write in things that they like and he will guess what are the things they write on the paper and he asked two of the audience and he's right! I can't believe it. Another thing is he bend the spoon with the use of his one hand only he also twist the spoon. He'd done a lot and he's really amazing. Can we be like him too?

I think we are what we think. If we think we are capable of then we will be, but if we think that we are not capable then we will never be. So, can we be like him? then the answer is that it can. But now that toi be asked whether we want to go through the process.

I'm afraid I don't buy into that stuff. Nobody has the ability to guess what's on the pieces of paper and always get it right without already knowing what they are gonna write. Have you ever seen a magic act in person or on TV? The mental act you are talking about is just another kind of magic or illusionary act for the sake of entertainment. Just like a magician uses tricks or illusions to make you think he sawed a woman in half, without killing her of course, or made a large object such as a car disappear before your very eyes, so does a mentalist use his own tricks of the trade to make you believe he can guess what you've written on a piece of paper when you are supposedly the only one who can see what you are writing. It's nothing more than simple tricks to fool our eyes and our perception.

oh yes. I know that magic has tricks and for the purpose of entertaining but I just don't know? I guess you're right. Thanks for responding :)

Good day, too,Bianca. The human brain is so amazing but we are only able to use a very small portion of it, a 10% of our brain potential.Imagine if we can use its 100% potential of which some people like the mentalist can do. I am fond of watching the tv series The Mentalist played by Simon Baker.He uses it to solve crimes by reading the suspects' mind, actions and behaviours as well as interpreting their facial expression and emotions. Maybe, if we can maximize the use of our brain, yes, we can, but, chances are, it is more likely not going to happened.

I have not seen this, but i have witnessed many magic shows doing many tricks, they can produce money , gold from air, cut persons in to 2 pcs, rejoin, it is kind of illusion, mass hypnotism, if they can create money in air, then why all this fuss to earn money.. Thanks for sharing Happy posting, cheers. Namastey. Kalyani

It's not true! It's not possible! Actually I am just jealous. I think it has to be more of a gift already which he fine-tune. To learn it from young means someone has to teach him. I don't see such books around or adverts for such training. If there is, I will ask you to go with me? Then we can all be like him. But to be able to read each other mind? I think we end up running away from each other soon enough. I will be scared to have his gift though it might seem wonderful at first. People will stop to ask you as if you are a prophet.
