For any show of any kind – a performance by a beloved singer, a sharp stand-up comedian, a dance show and there is of course a wide range of options – there are naturally expectations. Expectations are mainly due to the familiarity with the specific type of shows to which the show to which one is about to watch belongs. If there is an acquaintance with the specific artist, it probably also produces certain expectations. On the other hand, when you are about to take part in a show of talented mentalists – and the correct expression is ‘take part’ and not expect because in many cases it is an active experience – you do not always know what exactly is expected to happen.
On the one hand, it’s part of the magic of the performances of talented sensory artists. On the other hand, for those who like or like to know where it is going, the uncertainty can create a certain tension – so it is worth reading the article on this page, and understand what actually includes such a show.
Fascinating thought exercises
The accepted definition of mentality is thought patterns. More precisely, a collection of assumptions, beliefs and techniques that produce in a particular person such and such thoughts in the various situations in his life. Mentalist, Who in many cases also defines himself as a sensory artist, is a person with high abilities to recognize those patterns. It is important to emphasize that these are not supernatural abilities but acquired skills, a product of much practice and a deep and thorough observation of human beings. Accordingly the mentalists know how to ‘read thoughts’ – not really penetrate a person’s mind, but do identify the same thought patterns and on that basis be able to decipher the thoughts.
Among other things, this type of artist is assisted by observing the body language of the volunteers to participate in the various exercises in the show and other elements. By the way, in the TV series ‘The Mentalist’, a person with such abilities is recruited to the ranks of the security services in order to solve crimes.
Convincing suggestion
The unique abilities of the mentalists are also used for ‘assimilation of thoughts’. Just as reading thoughts is an illusion (very convincing), so too is suggestion an illusion (particularly convincing).
Suggestion is a term in psychology that means a process in which one person causes another person to change attitudes, feelings and thoughts. It is important to distinguish between suggestion and hypnosis – hypnosis is a state in which a person moves to another state of consciousness, while suggestion occurs when the person is fully conscious and aware of what is happening around him, but is influenced by the mentalist.
Humor and imagination
Another element in expectations from a mentalist show – expectations that will also come true when it comes to a talented artist – is humor. The purpose of reading the thoughts and planting the thoughts is of course to entertain, and also to remind the participants in the show that we may think we know everything and have already seen everything, but in practice the mind is a fascinating organ about which there is still much hidden over the visible. Depending on the various sections and exercises in the show are interwoven with lots of humor and imagination, which of course contribute to the enjoyment.
Audience sharing
Almost anyone can easily pull out several (and several) names of singers, stand-up comedians, etc., so when going to a show of the above types know what to expect. However most of us do not really know mentalists, so naturally the question in the title arises. The answer, no less significant than the previous ones, is the participation of the audience. A case for the brave is a unique and exciting experience (and of course the other participants will also enjoy watching their friends or relatives star.) In order to ensure maximum enjoyment, it is important to pay attention to the choice of mentalist, and in particular to prefer experienced artists.
