Hi All,
Quick question, I’m new to the Mentalism side of magic, and I was wondering about some of the routines I’ve seen on YouTube, particularly, what I like to call a “Cold Read”. It’s where the magician asks the spectator to think of any card, and the magician names it without anything to go on whatsoever. If you want an example, Chris Ramsay does it a lot in his street magic videos. So I was wondering, is this a real Mentalism technique? Or is it YouTube editing/staging?
note: I’m not asking for a reveal of the technique, only if it exists
