This is undoubtedly one of the best mental tricks for the stage! So incredible it seems a miracle. Judge for yourself this outstanding feat by Ted Lesley :
You present a large blackboard (approximately 44 x 50 cm). One side of the blackboard is covered with newspaper. Now you explain that it's really easy for you to read other people's minds. But tonight, you'll let the audience read yours!
You present a large blackboard (approximately 44 x 50 cm). One side of the blackboard is covered with newspaper. Now you explain that it's really easy for you to read other people's minds. But tonight, you'll let the audience read yours!
Three spectators are asked to help you. Any spectators, no insiders! Each of the three spectators should name an object. It doesn't matter what it is, no restrictions, no forced choice!
You write the three items on the board with white chalk while the audience names them. Now tear off the paper from the other side of the board. There, in large red letters, are written the exact three items that the audience freely chose!
The board is a mechanical masterpiece. The background is green with red lines, and the board is framed with wood. The routine described is just one of many possibilities. Mental magic can hardly be better!
