I just tell them that as a mentalist, I have learned how to read people. I have a routine where I am blindfolded and I ask a member of the audience to write a word on a board or flip-chart, A second person writes a number and a third draws a simple picture. Sometimes I try to add a bit of humour and combine all three into one sentence. If the first person, for example, wrote the word apple, the second person wrote the number 15 and the third drew a cat, then I might say something along the lines of: "Haven't you finished yet? My cat could have eaten 15 apples by now"

i like P&Ts intro to their book test. where they go into great detail about how disgusting they find it when people pretend to have powers to get money from people.

i say "i cheat" to answer the thread title

Bull! We all know that particular book bursts in to flames when you touch it :twisted: (though Robert Nelson might get a chuckle if you are using that approach :wink: )
