I'm not hypnotizing people to cluck like a chicken.

We're having a fun experience together.

So you're winning them over.

I would say charisma is important.

I would say resilience is really important.

It's a lot of core foundational skills that are useful in all of life.

So resilience is really important because it doesn't work at the beginning.

So you don't, I've never met somebody who was a mentalist who was good at the start.

It's very similar to standup comedy.

You rarely find someone who's been doing standup comedy six months, who's incredible and is headlining Madison Square Garden.

There were 10 or 20 years of work to become an overnight success for most of those people.

The same thing applies.

It's the same core skill.

I don't have an easy answer to that because it depends on the scenario.

Does that make sense?

A big part of what I do is create an illusion that you can generalize my skills to everything.

Does that make sense or no?

Because I can explain what it means.

I create a very specific scenario that looks, it should look impossible.

It should be very entertaining and should be a story you tell to lots of people.
