Sleight Of Hand Magic Trick – How To Read Someone’s Mind (Only Do This Trick To People You Want To Freak Out A Little…)

by Magical G on April 9, 2009 · 111 comments

Hi Everyone,

Got another free cool magic trick for you…

I will give you the ability to read someone’s mind!

Check out the video and make sure you practise the sneaky little sleight (also known as the “magic move”). Once you are smooth at performing the illusion, you can use it for the rest of your Magic Journey.

Some Extra Pointers

Make the magician force as smooth as possible. You want your audience thinking its a free choice selection.
Once you know the card, use your imagination to make the card known in any way. That is, you can send it via txt message, make a prediction on a piece of paper, put a duplicate card in a bag or wallet…whatever really. Just go nuts with it. The crazier the better the effect!
Have fun with this!
Practice, practice, practice! The more you practice, the better you’ll get at this trick. It’s a sleight of hand, so you have to put in the practice.

Don’t forget to leave your comment and tell me what you think ok?

Hey Eddie,

Sorry for the confusion…blog has been playing up.

Unfortunately the King Levitation is not mine to give away. I would love to teach you…but as I said…not my trick.

I think its like 30US to buy…worth the purchase.

to be honest Jay the slow reveal, before showing the prediction really did not work for me. I would have done the slow reveal, if I had not written a prediction. Since a prediction was written down, then you should have gone right to the prediction. Any way the force was awesome and I plan on using it as my new force.

Thanks

29 Jay Jay July 1, 2009 at 10:45 pm: Hey Richard!

Yeah I know what you mean – I thought about that when we posted the video.

Typically I would not do that either, but thought it might be good for the time being.

However, thanks for your thoughts and keep em coming!

Awesome force Jay Jay, I’ll definitely be using this one too.

Do you think it would be stupid to maybe write down your prediction at the table? Kind of in a dramatic/comedic situation? Or is it more practical to have the prediction already written?

35 Jay Jay August 22, 2009 at 5:32 pm: no that is what it great about tricks. You can make your own presentation with them!

excellent force that.. i started learning card tricks about 6-7 weeks ago now and this will be my fav force i think.. i was allways worried about the cross cut force as i thought that would be too obvious (not at all) but now i have one that i’ll feel even better about cheers for this.. so much scope. ive kinda got it all most instant but will definatly need work to make it natrual, so im off to practice practice practice…

Hey jay jay
Cheers for all the great tricks. Could you send me a link to buy the revelation effect.
cheers

91 scolafu March 15, 2011 at 10:53 pm

[..YouTube..] what if the audience asks to do it again and asks to shuffle the deck?

92 orozcormanuel March 17, 2011 at 4:46 am

[..YouTube..] @scolafu: let them shuffle the deck man theres no big deal with that. when they hand you the deck back just “square” the cards back up with the bottom card facing you and so now you know the bottom card and you can just pretend to read their minds.

93 vinz March 19, 2011 at 9:46 pm

great trick, greats tips!!!!
thanks Jay Jay!!!

94 Lawrieality April 12, 2011 at 4:46 am

[..YouTube..] Hey Jay Jay, have you seen those decks of cards you can get where every second card is like the king of diamonds? i got a pile, they are soooo cool

100 paulifaceuk May 10, 2011 at 9:08 am

[..YouTube..] @scolafu well i wouldn’t do it again unless i knew the last few cards. You can always palm the bottom card before handing them the deck.

101 ScArEdOfThEdAyLiGhT May 13, 2011 at 12:01 pm

[..YouTube..] i have a criss angle card deck and every other card is 9 of hearts =/

109 sarkaralmasov July 11, 2011 at 1:13 pm

[..YouTube..] Cool trick, but poor performance.
It does not make sense to write the prediction on a piece of paper, and then making look like you are guessing it. (again?!)
so just think of a better ending, i suppose..

110 thejadenmaster August 17, 2011 at 11:21 am
