As per wiki, should probably not be embedded.

I don't know when this happened but videos started getting embedded on their own.

I realized afterward (and saw that you didn't intend to embed). Sorry.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that was for show; not the real method of influence.

Is there any second part, or that's where he left the show?

ETA: Just realized, he's Jewish.

big fan of his. Been following him for a while. He performed this past pesach at the gateways events. I'm assuming he's related to R Suchard of gateways.....
Another Jewish mentalist out there is Oz Perlman (agt) also very good

All mentalists do that. They give some bogus explanantion. Never how they actually do it. It is usually some simple magic type trick. I'll see if I can find Penn and Teller talking about mentalists. I know its somewhere

Getting everyone to draw the same thing is quite a magic trick.

I don't believe his explanation.

These are old carnival tricks. I don't say that disparagingly. It's a real chochma.

Here's one of the great American storytellers describing it.

As much as Penn and Teller are atheists I hold very strongly of there explanation of magic. There is a trick to everything. You have to be really skilled at either slight of hand or other methods to fool people, but at the end of the day its always a simple (usually hard to perform) trick.
