Yeah.

The lies that can read people's minds.

I can't.

I wish I could.

Well, because I'm giving the illusion of reading people's minds, right?

That's the skill.

That's really... I'm crafting a narrative which in your mind plays out in such a way, kind of like the way a magic trick works, but the contract is different with the audience.

Because most of us, when we watch a magic trick, since we've been young and we kind of first experienced magic, we know that what's happening isn't real.

De facto, the bird that appeared didn't really appear out of nowhere.

The person doing this isn't God.

They didn't cut a woman in half for real because you can't actually put her back together, right?

Science has established what can and can't be done within reason.

That's what we believe.

So you can always look and see and say, well, there's a gimmick, there's a trick, there's a way that it's being done.

And the funny part about what I do, it's called mentalism, it's a form of magic, is that you can't really find how it's being done because there's never that trick.

There's never the gimmick.

There's never the thing that you do to do it because it's a pure art.

It's very similar to stand-up comedy.

I can show up with nothing.

I could do a show today for thousands of people with literally nothing.
