A man goes into a pub and sees a jar of money on the bar with a sign saying "Make the donkey laugh. Win all this money!" on it. So he asks the barkeeper what it's all about.
"Well my son," he says "we've got this donkey out back, and he nevers smiles, and he never laughs and he never does anything. So you put five pounds in the jar right, and if you win, you keep all the money that's in there. Simple right?"
The man decides to go for it considering there's well over £200 in the jar. He pays his fiver and says "I'll just be a moment" as he walks the donkey to the toilets.
30 seconds later the donkey stumbles out absolutely howling with laughter and the barkeeper can't understand it.
"How on earth did you make him laugh?" he asks.
The man apologises that he can't tell him and that it's a trade secret.
A few weeks later, the man goes into the same pub and sees a full jar of money again, this time with a sign saying "Make the donkey cry. Win all this money!" so he asks the barkeeper if it's the same deal.
It is, so the man pays his fiver and takes the donkey off to the toilets again.
30 seconds later the donkey comes out utterly distraught. tears running down his face, hysterically crying and the barman says "Well you got me son. I have no idea how only you can invoke a reaction from my donkey. Please please please tell me how you did it!"
The man takes his money and says "Alright. But this is just between you and me...
To make him laugh, I told him I had a bigger penis than him..."
The barman nods and says "And to make him cry?"
"I proved it to him"
You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism
