How does a mentalist do it? – 10 Easy Magic Tricks Every Kid Can Do Videos Play In Black
I have never found the answer and here’s a very interesting paper by a researcher, David F. Fitch who found out that they actually get better at it when they’re working alone. He writes :
We have learned that mentalists are quite happy to have a little help during the course of the day — and in fact will spend less time alone after a full day of mental work (more than two hours), when their work output is in the ballpark of one to two thousand words per day. They are therefore able to finish their work almost as quickly as others, though there is also a considerable margin of error. Moreover, our results indicate that the effect we have discovered is not solely of the nature that mentalists feel better able to concentrate and think more clearly. It is also important to note that those who have a little help during the day (a bit more than two hours) tend to do better even than those who do not have much help during the day (more than two hours).
This isn’t a completely novel idea though, it’s just one of the best and most well-known studies ever done to confirm or refute the idea.
A recent study was done by a group of Japanese students. It was published in Neuropsychologia. The results proved that their brain function was only affected in their case when they were working alone, which can be a bit confusing. But the researchers say that this may be a result of their own mental state in the moments when they were working alone, the time between they start to think they are working alone, and the time from they stop doing it. (That’s why they stopped the experiment with only a couple minutes left of a 20 hour work day) So these students were actually just trying not to think about their own work while they were working.
However the study did have a negative side effect and it seems that it made them more aggressive when they realized that they were working alone. But that’s okay I guess. They still finished their work in a couple of hours.
A study showed that a lot of the mentalists that I have met would say “I am too tired” if they were alone, but actually they were working so hard because they had a lot of experience doing it that they had already become used to it by the end of the night. They wouldn’t even realize they were tired when they did it.
So what can I do with this information?
