Basic Mental Games

Video Transcript

Hi! I am Joe Marshall with expertvillage.com. I am a professional magician, and today we are going to go over some basic magic tricks. This is a trick I will do when I want the people to think I am messing with their heads and controlling their thoughts. You have four coins laid out, each one of different denomination. And you can just make a pointer, this is just basically a marker. You say, slide the marker in front of any one of the coins that you want, and before you do, just take your time to really think about this, because I am going to control your thoughts; and when you say that, it’s only going to take a second. Say for example, they slide it over the nickel, you say, do you want to change your mind, do you think I have controlled you in some way to stop at that nickel, or are you fine with that. Say, they say that's fine, we will stop there. I show them that the coin they stopped on is the only coin out of all the other ones that has something written on the back of it. I let them go ahead and turn it over and when they turn it over, they see that it has got their name on it. Joe for example that's my name so.
