How To Read Minds!

Do you want to know how to be a mentalist? You know what I'm talking about... a person who uses mind reading techniques and tricks to get inside people's heads. Don't you start laughing now.

Today's mentalists are no longer like the odd-looking ones in the olden times. These days, knowing how to read minds does not require you to get into any kooky clothing.

If you want to learn how to be a mentalist, read on!

1) No need for ESP.

Reading minds does not necessarily require you to have the gift of ESP. While that would probably be a convenient skill to have, you do have another way of knowing what's going on inside that person's head. And that is by the pure power of observation.

Observation allows you to predict more or less what a person is going to do or say next. Of course, the better you know a person, the higher your chances are of being right.

2) Watch the pupils.

Learning how to be a mentalist involves watching a person's eyes. The general rule is: the more interested a person is, the larger the pupils become (unless it's dark, as pupils get bigger in a dark room). The less interested a person is, the smaller the pupils become (unless you're in a bright room).

It all sounds so easy but you can't let yourself look too obvious. Before you use this technique on other people, why not try it out on yourself. Look into the mirror and imagine different situations, good and bad.

When you think of going on a nice vacation, watch your pupils get larger. When you think about some boring TV show you hate to watch, see your pupils get smaller.

3) Play with words.

There is more than one way for you to know what's going on in other people's minds. If you want to learn how to be a mentalist, you must also learn how to play with words.

Say you're having a conversation with a very important foreign delegate about politics. You're not exactly sure which side the person is on, so you wait until he gives himself away. How do you do that?

Use vague comments such as "Is that so…" or "You know how it is…" to get him talking. Once he reveals just where his loyalties lie, you can go on to have a fruitful conversation with him.

A lot of people want to know how to be a mentalist, but not everyone is willing to go through the steps. The mind reading tips I've mentioned are designed to make it easy for anyone to accomplish.
