Mental Manifestation
The spectator is asked to think of either the word “even” or the word “odd.” The magician hazards a guess – was the spectator thinking: “Odd”?
Whether or not the performer guesses correctly is immaterial. The test gets harder from here on out. The spectator next thinks of a number between one and ten and associates it with a phrase. But rather than having a 10% chance of reading the spectator’s thoughts, the magician increases the difficulty level yet again.
Taking the feat into the realm of the impossible, the spectator is asked to associate their thought of phrase with an object from another list.
Amazing as it may seem, even before the spectator knows what object they have in mind, the magician knows what they are thinking! With unerring accuracy, the thought. reader tells the spectator exactly what object he has in mind.
