Speaker A

Welcome back. This is going to be incredible. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome one of the most amazing men I've ever met, the brilliant, the incredible, Lior Suchard.

00:13

Speaker A

(Applause)

00:13

Speaker B

Hello, how are you? Take a seat. How are you? Hi, how are you?

00:25

Speaker B

James: Thank you for being here.

00:36

Speaker B

Now, a couple of things. This isn't magic, these aren't tricks. This is the Toia J Maic trick, this is an SPARMT.

00:39

Speaker B

So you are a mentalist. I am a mentalist.

00:51

Speaker B

James: What say mentalist, how does it work?

00:58

Speaker B

A mentalist is someone who is mental, someone who uses my five senses to create the experience of a sixth sense. I use lots of techniques from psychology, body language, breathing, to influencing through interesting experiments.

01:07

Speaker B

Only for a group, that is what I do when I'm performing. I get audience participation and have people blown away.

01:13

Speaker B

We will do an experience about influencing and mind reading. But first, do you want something normal—normal or dangerous to start with?

01:23

Speaker B

Dangerous, please.

01:30

Speaker B

Dangerous, so I've got a few markers, I have this. Hello. Hello, my friend.

01:37

Speaker B

A few random questions. Sometimes you go to the bank. Yes. And you go to the bank and you do some things and actions and they ask you for your PIN code.

01:43

Speaker B

Yes. Secret PIN code. Yes.

01:50

Speaker B

James: We are on television, I don't know if we should give out Harry's PIN code.

01:59

Speaker B

No, just to clarify, because people are very, very skeptical and it has to be genuine. Is there anybody here who knows your PIN code?

02:18

Speaker B

No one knows it. Did you ever tell me, did I tell you to tell me your PIN code or something like that?

02:27

Speaker B

No, you did not. It's fair. It's very fair. So look at me, don't say a word, count quickly from one to ten quickly.

02:33

Speaker B

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. I will show you to make sure you are—this is genuineness. What is only the first digit of your secret PIN code?

02:37

Speaker B

One. One, see. It says one. He is trying to be—look at me. Moi, I will count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, there is another one.

02:46

Speaker B

You have to change. This means yes. Now, because we are on national television, I will not do—I will, I will, I will.

03:00

Speaker B

Look at me, don't say a word. Is that just clucking like a chicken and barking like a dog?

03:11

Speaker B

Don't say a word. I swear to you, you did not tell me that number.

03:17

Speaker B

Absolutely not. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I sense there is a little—what is the third one, that is the third one, that's it.

03:25

Speaker B

It would be a one. Like it. You know you can't broadcast that show because that's my real PIN number.

03:31

Speaker B

By the way, I feel there is a pattern here. Okay. The digit we will not expose between you and me by your body language I will see if I'm right or wrong.

03:36

Speaker B

Don't say a word, think of the last digit, I think between you and me I think this is the last digit, am I right?

04:00

Speaker B

Are you correct, my friend?

04:06

Speaker B

James: Oh my God, BNSZ amazing. This is going kind of interesting.

04:13

Speaker B

You know, I don't know what this is, you have another number in your mind like a date or something?

04:21

Speaker B

In fact, it's with a date. Really? Because you were mixing what was the other one?

04:38

Speaker B

It was 1967. Like this? This man, this is everything, this is crazy, man. Now all we need is the bank account number and—never mind.

04:56

Speaker B

Now with the influencing, you can try and do something with the entire audience. Before that, are you ready?

05:08

Speaker B

I'm ready. We will do something for you. I'm not sure if are you ready.

05:17

Speaker B

Take this, one of those. You take one of those. And let's do this. I will give you one and I will give you one and I will have one.

05:22

Speaker B

Let's do all of this, a circle. You know what, in fact, let's get the entire audience to do a sigil, a big sigil, a big sigil, but don't do anything yet, just a circle.

05:28

Speaker B

Now—we'll do a warmup. Most people when they—when you ask them to draw something simple, most people will draw a smiley face or a house or a tree, these are the most common things.

05:41

Speaker B

Now to give you an example of something a little more complicated, for example, I mean if you ask me, I would draw the Superman sign because I love Superman or maybe—

05:43

Speaker B

Like your ring. Exactly. Or maybe if someone like us, he might draw like a cross or something like that.

05:49

Speaker B

Just giving a few examples, like a mountain, say good—strange looking mountain is a good idea.

05:52

Speaker B

Or maybe, no, or maybe like I don't know, like a rabbit or something like that.

06:02

Speaker B

Everybody can draw different stuff. You have something, don't say it. In fact, what I am talking about drawing, everyone here is trying to think of their drawing.

06:11

Speaker B

Okay, individual drawing. So I will start with you. Can you close your eyes for me, for just one second?

06:17

Speaker B

Don't do it. He will steal the money out of your bank. This is not the PIN code part.

06:25

Speaker B

I want you to see what I am doing. I'm going to do something very strange.

06:30

Speaker B

I'm just looking at you. It's all about senses. I don't know, something like this, now it doesn't have to be—I don't know what I am sensing but some, I don't know what this is exactly.

06:37

Speaker B

Can you do me a favor, and quickly—open your eyes, open the marker, and do your drawing, try to be as—to what you have in your mind.

06:42

Speaker B

Just do it quickly. I'm dreading this because I'm really bad at drawing so please forgive me.

06:49

Speaker B

That's fine. But don't watch me. Okay, I don't know—I actually don't know what I did.

06:55

Speaker B

At the same time, you're going to go behind your desk and do your drawing but don't show anyone.

07:05

Speaker B

In the circle. Yes. Not part of. Inside, do it over there. Make sure everybody can see.

07:16

Speaker B

Make sure. Take your time, I get paid by the hour. You got it?

07:28

Speaker B

Put it upside down, did you finish yours?

07:40

Speaker B

Yeah, whenever you're ready. Yes, can you show everybody what you did?

07:47

Speaker B

Because this is pure imagination. What did you do? Show me. Look. I already did something before you even thought of something.

07:59

Speaker B

Okay. Let me do it normal. Okay. You were saying—this is a—it is a hand with two candles.

08:12

Speaker B

Look what I did. Look what I did. Look what I did. Look at this!

08:19

Speaker B

Harry, come back. This is it. No more Harry, okay.

08:26

Speaker B

James: That's insane. But now. And it was married.

08:34

Speaker B

Look, we both had rings on—look at this. This is so similar. But you know, you can never predict what you are going to draw, so here is what is going to happen, Harry, stay where you are, can you draw me for a second, come with me.

08:43

Speaker B

We did all those drawings, come with me. Dear audience, please stand up, all of you stand.

08:57

Speaker B

Now do you agree that everyone can draw anything they want? I just gave you an example of a Superman and a rabbit and a cross or a crazy mountain.

09:04

Speaker B

So anything can happen. Anything. I want everyone, when I say now, listen carefully, you will do your drawing, okay, by the way, don't draw a bunny, don't draw—I hope not one of those, not one of those.

09:11

Speaker B

I hope so. And when you are ready, are you going to do your drawing and hold it close to your chest, so no one can see.

09:17

Speaker B

Do it as quickly as possible, look at me. Take a deep breath, everyone. Do your drawing now.

09:24

Speaker B

Quickly, and hold it close to your chest. LeBron James. Hold it, so nobody can see.

09:35

Speaker B

Now listen, spontaneously, you, listen carefully, I did tell you to do—no. Did I give instructions to you to do a specific drawing?

09:40

Speaker B

No. This is from your choices, correct?

09:50

Speaker B

Correct. It's really from their mind. Just for fun, you, do we know each other personally? No, and you seem to be very happy about it, by the way.

10:03

Speaker B

Can you show us what you did? Just show me your drawing, show me your drawing, this is interesting.

10:10

Speaker B

All the way over there, with the glasses, yes, you, can you turn yours? What is this? This is a coins dense.

10:21

Speaker B

Harry, look, can you show me, show me yours, show me yours, look at this.

10:37

Speaker B

All the way, I don't know, all the way next to him, the blond girl, show yours please, this is very strange.
