If you are completely baffled about how someone who you have never met can guess your final number, then consider all the other possibilities that you've never experienced, and how Sam Eaton's The Quantum Eye can help you discover the secrets behind mentalism.
Mentalism is a field of magic and performing arts by which a mentalist may appear to demonstrate highly developed mental abilities. While there are a series or misconceptions swirling around about mentalism being a form of psychic ability, contrary to popular belief, mentalism actually relies on the mentalist's abilities to use common logic to deceive his audience with concepts, and tricks that we often misunderstand in the same ways. This system uses rapid mathematics and psychology to help the mentalist understand more about the human mind than the audience so he can manipulate how they think.
While mentalism is actually not mind reading, a great show can definitely make it seem as though a mentalist knows your every thought. The Quantum Eye is the longest running one-man Off-Broadway show in New York City, and shows are performed every Saturday at 5 p.m. at Theatre 80. Eaton's uncanny exploration of magic and mentalism make for an entertaining show along with tons of great audience interaction, applauses and ofcourse, laughter!
For those interested in learning more about magic and mentalism, it is important to understand that it is not a supernatural domain that only a few people can access or the process of learning to read minds. With enough practice and a little technique from The Quantum Eye, you can experience the magic behind mentalism too! So grab a friend, and come see the show.
Your final number is 6!
