I just fell down rabbit-hole reading about mentalism and this guy Oz Pearlman.
My inner-woo believes the idea that there's a lot of invisible, vibes-based layers to the world... body language, gut instinct, "the elephant in the room". So I would say I'm more likely to "believe" in mentalism than the average person.
Anyways, I found a good explainer for the type of trick from the QC, these were some of the techniques he used:
* Suggested "making up a random 4 digit number", then immediately pivots to the real PIN. Basically planting the idea that he could guess a random PIN ~if he wanted~, and anchor the thought that he is doing the harder, more spontaneous option
* Says things like "if I gave you five minutes you'd do it differently", "I already got a hit", mentioning micro expressions and body language - these are just performance, he's window dressing the trick
* Deflects when Joe asks to try it on a second PIN, "let's leave that for the end" and never does it 1 reply
