1. Mind Reading Magic Tricks
Can we really read the person’s mind? No but when you perform magic tricks, anything
is possible so lets discuss some of them.
The first magic mind reading trick is called name of the dead. For this you will need a
sheet of paper and three volunteers. You tear the paper into three pieces and tell two of
the participants to write on each sheet the name of a person who is still alive. The third
person will be instructed to write the name of someone who has already passed on.
Take note that when you cut the paper into three pieces, the top and bottom will have
only one rough edge while the one in the center will have rough edges on both sides. To
make people believe you can read their minds, all you have to do is give the center piece
to the one who will write the name of the person who is already dead.
To make people believe that you can do this, you tell them to drop the three pieces of
paper into a hat which is resting on the table or raised above your head. You then put
your hand in the hat and simply feel the paper which has the rough edge and then take it
out.
To build the suspense, put that piece of paper on your forehead to make them think you
are sure about the sheet of paper you picked. You then give this paper to the one who
wrote on the paper that has the rough edges.
The next mind reading trick is called famous names. For this, you will need to get 10
famous names from the audience and then write these down on a separate card. They are
mixed and then you make a prediction of the name written on the card which will be
checked by someone from the audience.
For this trick to work, you will need ten small cards or ten small sheets of paper. The 10
famous names should come from the audience so once they give out a name, write it
down and then do the same for the rest.
What the audience does not know is that the first famous name written will also be
written on the rest. You then put these into the hat and shake it. You now ask a volunteer
from the audience to reach into the hat and give you the paper.
You put this on your head to create a dramatic effect and then say the name of the famous
person aloud which will be confirmed by the volunteer. So no one will discover what you
did, make sure to get rid of the slips.
The two minding reading tricks mentioned are really simple to do and anyone can do
them. This just proves that magicians who perform this trick don’t really have the talent
but rather pull a fast one to make people believe that they have this gift.

2. If you want to learn other mind reading tricks, do some research and then practice this a
little then do it with a few friends. At the end of the trick, some people might really
believe you have this gift which is funny especially if they knew how you were able to do
it.
