If you are not already doing so, could you please teach some other folk some of the things that you perform. The world needs wonder. Communication is key. Thank you.

I feel I have photographic memory with the amount of times these clips have been re-uploaded

[Ali-Adamantium]

As a student, that would be so helpful

How can this guy not be flipping out? Amazing skill… or any astounding trick. Either way… Thanks for the video.

Daren Brown in one of his videos ecplained this skill. He called this "mind palace". And the main secret of this skill is that it is mostly useless (Daren told that himself) 🙂

We only have their word for it that it wasn’t a setup

and i dont think its a trick...thats what makes Darren Brown a master...I will start researching about this, I can do it on a very very small window of time and with single pagers, I guess its a matter of practice and there is some technique to it...which I am not familiar with, any recommendations on tutorials or books explaining the method would be very welcome xD...

Jen’s mom Beth here; What is the real difference between a magician vs. a mentalist? I grew up watching “The Amazing Kreskin” as a child, known as a mentalist. Some magicians seem to do both. Is the training and education different or is it all considered “magic”?

[Docotor]

Fun fact : he also failed his school exams

[jenniferhumphreys]

The universe is very magical, what can the universe do through your body? I don't believe in magic. For example.
