What is mentalism?

Mentalism is a branch of magic that focuses on the performer's ability to manipulate, influence, and predict the thoughts and behavior of others. Mentalists use a combination of psychology, intuition, and showmanship to create the illusion of mind reading, telekinesis, and other psychic abilities. Their performances often involve techniques such as cold reading, hot reading, and the use of subtle cues to gather information about their audience members. While mentalists do not possess supernatural powers, they are skilled at creating engaging and mysterious performances that leave audiences questioning the limits of the human mind.
