Have you ever wanted to read someone else's mind?

Well, mentalist Oz Perlman is billed as one of the world's greatest mind readers, and yet he says he doesn't have any special powers.

In this spectacular talk meets magic show, mentalist Oz Perlman opens up to a captivated audience, sharing why it all comes down to understanding the human spirit and mind.

So close your eyes if you can, please don't if you're driving, and imagine you're sitting in the TED theater.

Oz is on stage, the house lights go up, and he walks out into the audience.

Over the next 15 minutes, he engages with multiple audience members he's never met before, wows everyone, and shows us how the principles of mentalism can be tools for living better and more connected lives at home, at work, and in our relationships.
