Recently there has been an increase in the popularity of mentalism tricks. Much of this is related to the recent rise in fame of magicians David Blaine and Criss Angel. These famous magicians are able to walk up to strangers on the street and perform mentalism tricks, leaving their audiences completely shocked and amazed. The tricks are performed at such a high level that all of the people that are gathered around watching have completely no idea how they pulled it off.

Mentalism tricks are different from your average magic trick. While a coin trick or card trick can be learned in the matter of minutes, mentalism tricks can take days, weeks, or even months to completely master. One of the most famous tricks is the levitation trick. While everyone who sees the trick is usually aware that is impossible to actually levitate, if you know the trick well enough you are still able to trick the audience into believing that you are actually levitating off the ground with no outside assistance. A lot of this is about placement of the audience. You have to keep the people watching seated in a manner that is beneficial to the illusion that you are doing.

While levitation is a very common act that most magicians are able to pull off, there are many much more complex mentalism tricks. David Blaine does many other more famous tricks and stunts. One of his most famous attempts was when he tried to stay under water for a world record nine minutes. Unfortunately, there was no sleight of mind or trickery involved in this stunt. The body can be trained to hold your breath for up to two minutes in a relatively short amount of time. He actually went through a great deal of pain in order to not only hold his breath for nine minutes, but to break free from 150 pounds of chains at the conclusion of the task.

When mentalism tricks are properly executed, they are often the most popular tricks that can be executed. They involve a great deal of practice, as well as trial and error to be properly done. Now, with the information that is available on the internet, it is much easier to do mentalism tricks. There are step by step guides that clearly explain to you exactly what you need to do to perform these sleight of minds. While there is still a great deal of practice and time put into mastering these tricks, they are not much more attainable than they used to be.

With a little work, you can amaze your friends with mentalism tricks. There is a great degree of satisfaction when you are able to convince your audience that you just made the impossible, possible. You can leave them wondering for days how you were able to levitate right in front of their very eyes. This is the beauty of mentalism tricks.
