Mentalism is a performing art that focuses on the demonstration of highly developed mental or intuitive abilities. Mentalists use techniques such as suggestion, misdirection, and psychological principles to create the illusion of mind reading, predicting the future, or influencing thoughts. This form of entertainment often captivates audiences by making them believe in extraordinary mental feats. While mentalism is often associated with magic, it differs in that it emphasizes psychological tricks rather than physical illusions. Famous mentalists like Derren Brown and The Amazing Kreskin have popularized the art, showcasing how perception and human behavior can be manipulated to create seemingly supernatural experiences.
