Mentalist is a professional mind reader who can perform various activities like hypnotism, fast calculations, playing with numbers and cards, magical tricks, fortune telling, mind reading etc. These mentalists are of course very intelligent and they have explicit mythical ability to perform these presentations in front of the spectators.
The skills of each of the mind readers are different and specific to one’s own abilities. The display capabilities and performance quotient differs from one magician to the other. So comparing their performance level is useless and the only thing that the mentalists expect from the audience group is appreciation and encouragement. Mentalism includes performances like juggling with balls, playing with deck of cards, brisk calculations, foresightedness, mind training, psychic reading on the stage. These thought reading activities can be done even in a private room by a regular mentalist as a profession.
Some of the leading mind readers who have to be commemorated are Derren Brown, Richard Osterlind, Banachek, David Copperfield, Alexander, Glenn Falkenstein, Marc Paul, Guy Bavli, Corinda and many more. They have their own styles of performance and each one of them is specialized in separate categories which totally come under Mentalism or in simple words called mind reading.
Renowned television series like “The Mentalist”, “Psychic” are based on the principles of psychic reading to expose the criminal cases; this has given a total description of the mentalist activity to the viewers across the globe as TV is the fastest visual media in today’s world.
