Before we get started I want to try a little
something
a little experiment it's gonna involve everyone
in the room, okay?
I want everyone under the sound of my voice
right now to think of three different simple
objects. Just get them in your mind. It could
be anything from your shoe to a pencil to
your car keys. Get three different objects
in your mind, and lock them in your mind and
kind of bounce back and forth between the
objects. Mind you it's just a little experiment
that I wanna try, you see. I gotta get a feel
for my audience as a mentalist and mind reader.
This is all about magic of the mind. Now before
the demonstration, I had some white stickers
with black X'es placed on the back of chairs.
If you are sitting in a chair that has a black
X on the back of it...on a white sticker...would
you please stand. There are a few. I don't
know how many. You got one...you got one...are
there any others? Sir, you back there? The
guy standing by the wall. All you need to
do is stand right there. Stay right where
you're at. Don't say what you're thinking.
Just. Now do each of you have a few different
objects in your mind, correct? You're thinking
of three different objects? I want you to
concentrate on them. Focus on them and imagine
if you would my --and it's easier because
I have a screen behind me-- imagine if my
mind and my forehead were big enough as a
screen and I want you to think of the few
objects that you're thinking of and lock in
on ONE right now! Sir, you lock in one and
you lock in one, and you look in on one. Think
of ONE of those objects. Focus on it, picture
it in your mind, and imagine me seeing it
up here. Right here on the front of my forehead.
I'm getting...a lottery ticket
...a margarita...
...and a woman's pink braziere!
[laughter]
If I mentioned the object that you were thinking of, would you please have a seat?
[laughter]
Admit it, sir!  You were thinking of a woman...
Did I NOT get it? I told you this was just an
experiment. But if I'm wrong...Was it a RED
braziere? A RED braziere!
[laughter]
