Q & A
What is the main topic of the video?
-The main topic of the video is a tutorial on how to perform a simple mind-reading trick that allows you to tell someone exactly what they're thinking, such as a name, passcode, or phone number.
Who is the target audience for the mind-reading trick?
-The target audience for the mind-reading trick includes anyone interested in learning magic, even those who are new to magic, as the trick is designed to be simple and easy to learn.
What is the significance of the double blank cards mentioned in the video?
-The double blank cards are playing cards that are blank on both sides, used for various mentalism effects. They are highlighted as a preferred option for the trick because they are versatile and can be used for multiple tricks.
What alternative options are given for the blank cards in the trick?
-Alternative options for the blank cards include blank business cards, which can be purchased at office supply stores, or using a deck of regular playing cards where one can have the participant write on one of the cards.
What is the purpose of having the participant write down their thought on a card?
-Having the participant write down their thought on a card serves two purposes: it gives them a concrete object to focus on, and it allows the performer to secretly see what was written during the trick.
How does the performer secretly see the participant's written thought?
-The performer secretly sees the participant's written thought by using a technique called a 'double undercut' to place the written card second from the top, then using a casual spread to glimpse the writing on the card.
What is the role of the 'double undercut' in the trick?
-The 'double undercut' is a technique used to secretly place the participant's chosen card second from the top of the deck, allowing the performer to later reveal it without the participant's knowledge.
Why is it important for the performer to keep the top two cards in place during the trick?
-It is important for the performer to keep the top two cards in place because these cards are crucial for the trick's success. The top card is a decoy, and the second card is the participant's written thought.
How does the performer enhance the illusion of mind-reading in the trick?
-The performer enhances the illusion of mind-reading by having the participant visualize their thought on a 'screen' and by using casual and conversational language to distract from the method being used.
What advice does the performer give to make the trick more convincing?
-The performer advises to keep the trick casual and relaxed, to not appear tense, and to use subtleties like the one-handed Charlier cut to make the reveal of the thought seem like a natural part of the performance.

amazing youtuber magician cardist and my
good friend
ekaterina here it is but before we go to
that please hit that subscribe button
turn those notifications on for more
amazing magic mentalism and hypnosis
content so yeah we're going to try
something with your thoughts right now
in your mind i want you to think of an
animal any animal in the whole world
totally up to you
oh but don't do fox because i know
that's part of your branding something
else
i got it okay good uh grab one of these
index cards anyone
perfect and on either side of it write
down what this animal is
in nice big letters and i won't look
i'll block my eyes
and let me know when you're done and as
you're writing it i want you to really
register it in your mind like visually
like really
build that image got it i'll take the
pen first
give it one last look really register it
visually in your mind
yeah and then pop it back wherever
that's perfect spot right there so you
can see it going right in the middle
correct
here's what i want you to do i want you
to imagine that this top card right here
that is the screen like a screen and i
want you to imagine it written right
there the word that you're thinking of
projected right there on that screen
really imagine that i'm gonna try to
look at me
okay i'm gonna go with this focus on
this animal
i have a good idea i'm i'm narrowing in
on it but
i think the reason you you're thinking
of this is it because you had a recent
experience with one
yeah okay and you never said to me what
this was no uh
this wasn't a very pleasant experience
was it no um
it's funny because i told you to
visualize this but and this is going to
sound weird but besides the visual i
feel like there's another sense that's
being activated it's your sense of
smell yeah does it smell like this open
your hand i think this is it i'm gonna
put that right there i'm gonna take a
look at what animal you wrote down is
that okay yeah you put in the middle
yourself
you never said what it was to me there
it is a skunk
yep you could have thought of anything i
wrote down
nice skunk there it was i hope you guys
enjoyed that now before we go to the
explanation just a few people in the
comments are gonna say
that they saw me or another mentalist on
tv
do this without having them write it
down they just looked at them
and told them what they were thinking of
well here's the thing that method for
that
is a completely different trick and it's
really really difficult and impractical
i could tell you how to do that right
now and i promise you
you will absolutely never do it and once
again all the pros watching this
you could confirm in the comments that
something like this what we're learning
today
is way more practical and you'll use it
a lot more often
so without further ado let's jump right
into the explanation
so you can learn exactly how to do this
first off let's talk about what you need
in order to do this mind reading trick
the first thing you need
is a pen or a marker because they need
to write down whatever it is they're
thinking of it could be their passcode
their phone number someone's name or
like what i did which is any animal but
it could be anything the next thing you
need is something for them to write on
so here are all your different options
the one i use the most often is this
these are called
double blank cards they're they're
playing cards that are blank on both
sides
you guys know from my other tutorials
that i use this for a lot of different
mentalism effects
and i'll leave a link in the description
to where you could get the best quality
of these cards they're really not
expensive and they'll deliver them
right to your door and you could use it
for a lot of cool stuff another option
instead of those is to use
blank business cards so if you go to any
office supply store any stationery store
and i'll leave a link in the description
if you don't want to go anywhere you
could get
these are just blank business cards or
business cards but they've got nothing
printed on them
and you buy them in sheets they're
really not expensive and you could
totally do this technique with these as
well it's not
as smooth as the blank cards but you can
you can also use your business cards if
you have a stack of business cards
already
you could use those they could write on
the blank side and totally works
finally you can use a deck of cards this
absolutely works as a card trick you can
do it to know their card or you can have
them write something down on a card
and you can use this technique to know
what they're thinking
so take some time to think about how you
want to present this which of these
makes the most sense
and now let's learn how to actually do
it okay so for the explanation i'm gonna
use a deck of cards because first of all
it'll be easier for you to follow
but second i want you to see how you
could totally do this with a deck of
cards
as a card trick so i'm gonna show it to
you first so let's say you go through
the cards and they touch a card i'm
gonna look away i can't see what that
card is
so i hope it's in focus i hope you guys
could see that
and once they've seen that you put the
card right back in the middle of the
deck you close up the cards
and you give them a bit of a mix and you
say something like this you go okay
so is your card the ace of spades
it's not that's not the one is it even
the same color slightly no
it's not it's red and i already know now
that the card was the queen of diamonds
so from there i could go wherever i want
so here's what the technique looks like
their card goes back in the middle
whether you show it to them like this or
they take it they write something and
put it back it goes back in the middle
so in this case
let's say the ten of spades now when i
go to close up the cards i'm not just
going to close the cards
my fingers here my right fingers are
holding the card on top of it
very loosely as you could see like
really with the tips it's a very loose
grip see
see how like easy that is to get rid of
so
their card goes here and as i come back
to close the cards i let go of that one
card
like this on top of their card so i'm
basically doing that
but as i'm like i'm here there's more
cover and my left thumb helps because it
kind of pinches that next card down
and moves away so i've added a card then
my pinky stays on top of that card
so that next card not the one they chose
but the one on top of it
and i closed the cards on top like this
so to them it looks like i've closed the
cards
but my pinky is actually two above their
card so
above the one above their card right
there
now i'm gonna do what's called a double
undercut so again from the front
they see this like just a closed deck
but from the back
you've got that here's what a double
undercut is it's super simple your thumb
comes over
with the right hand like this and grabs
that opening
let's go about half these cards
under that opening so half these cards
are grabbed with the left hand and
brought to the top of the deck
and then all the cards under that
opening are brought
to the top so that just looks like you
casually cut the cards
at this point if you know any false
shuffles you can do them or you could do
any shuffle
that keeps the top cards where they are
you don't want to disturb those two top
cards
and riffle shuffle does not so now they
don't know this
but you've brought their card second
from the top so the top one doesn't
matter what it is and then under that
is their card whether it's a card or
something they wrote down
now you're gonna need to look at it so
here's how you're gonna do that
you're gonna take the first card and
you're going to turn it over like this
now if it's a card trick you just turn
it over and say was your card the ace of
clubs
in the mind reading one i love the
presentation of saying i want you to
imagine that this is a screen
because they're going to project their
thought onto that screen
so you turn it over you show it and as
you're showing it you spread the cards
like this
and notice how i've really just spread
two cards and my pinky is gonna go
under that second card here this is
obviously down there
and i'm gonna close it up like this so
now to them it looks like i just
turned over that card and i showed it to
them but secretly
i've got my pinky under two cards
because you spread put your pinky under
it and then close it
and you've got your pinky under there
now as i'm talking about the card
i'm gonna lift with my thumb in the back
and my middle finger in the front
to show it to them and point like this
but in doing that
i've got a glimpse right there i could
see their card so
in the card trick i go um was was that
your card the ace of clubs no was it
even the same color
and now i could see what it is and i put
it back here now i could turn this back
over and i've seen their card you could
cut you could shuffle you could totally
mess this up now
and you know what their card is now
let's look at the mind reading version
so you've got your blank cards and they
take one and let's say they write down
uh their telephone's passcode so let's
say in this case it's
seven seven seven seven
and no that's not my actual passcode so
you've got your head turned and you ask
them to put it back
in the middle which they do with your
head turn and it goes right there
in the middle and again as you come back
you've got that one card loosely gripped
which you add on top
close up keep your pinky there and you
say we're gonna mix it
into the packet like this so now
here's what you do you say i want you to
really vividly imagine that which is why
it's another good reason to have them
write it down
say really look at it really get it
visually in your mind
now you take the top card you turn it
over and you say i want you to imagine
this is a screen and again i
spread two and i get my pinky under
their card
like that i say i want you to imagine
that's a screen and right there i want
you to
project the image and guys to a
spectator they have no clue what's going
on
you're just talking you say i want you
to project that image and of course
when i do that i could see their number
on the back sometimes it'll be upside
down sometimes it'll be right side up
depending on how they put it back
but it doesn't matter there it is now
for one second i show them that
then i drop it right back there and now
i could totally
peel it off like this now i tend to do
a one-handed charlier cut over here you
don't have to do this
but that's basically you've got your
fingers gripping the pack like this
your thumb opens it your index pushes
and you cut you can look up charlier cut
if you want to learn that in more detail
and the reason i do that is because now
i'm going to use this to write down what
i think but as i hand them this
their card is back in the middle and i
think that's a great subtlety
so now you do whatever presentation you
want check the comments from my pro tips
to really make it feel like you're
reading their minds
and there's a really great way here to
really sell that you're reading their
minds and not just like
where you wrote down skunk i wrote down
skunk you got to make it seem like
you're actually in their heads
and i'll tell you in the comments how to
do that there it was i hope you guys
enjoyed that now remember to keep this
very casual the spectator has no idea
what's going on to them you're just
giving them some instructions or talking
about
a completely different card so don't be
tense be very relaxed and casual
and they will have no clue what the heck
just happened and you'll get
insane reactions now before i go let me
tell you guys who the winner of the
contest is from last week i want to
