Hello Youtube, this is Eddie, I'm here with my brother Phil, hi, and I'm going to show
him a simple mind reading trick, all you need for this trick is just pen and paper, it's
a simple trick you can do anywhere, on anyone and impress them with your mind reading abilities.
So Phil I'm going to ask you three simple questions. And I'm going to write the answers
down, on paper, without you, before you tell me what they are. Okay the first question.
Phil, I want you to I want you to think of a girl's name, but don't tell me the answer.
So think of it right now. Yeah okay. Do you have a girl's name? Yep. Okay so I have the
girl's name on the piece of paper. And I want you to put this in your hand. Don't show it
to anyone. Don't look at it. Okay now tell me what the girl's name is. Chantelle. Chantelle.
Chantelle okay. Okay. Now put this piece of paper in your hand. Alright. Now I want you
to think of a boy's name, but don't tell me what it is, alright. Okay so I have the boy's
name on this piece of paper, okay what was the boy's name? Kevin. Kevin. Okay. So I have
asked 2 questions already. So the third question. Think in your head but don't tell me, who
the better basketball player is. Rondo or Jeremy Lin. Okay. Okay. Now who is the better
player? Rondo. Okay. Okay. Now I want you to reveal the pieces of paper to the audience.
Put it on the table here. And you can see what I wrote on the pieces of paper. Haha.
Haha. Mind blown. Okay do you have any idea how I did it? No. So this is how you do the
trick. Okay so here is the explanation on how to do the trick. So if you can see on
the piece of paper, the piece of paper saying Rondo, that is actually the first name that
I write down, when I asked my brother to think of a boy's name. Because I know later on I'm
going to ask him who's the better basketball player, Rondo or Jeremy Lin, and I know he's
going to say Rondo, so the first question when I ask him, to think of a boy's name,
I write down Rondo and I hand it over to him. Okay then I ask him what is the boy's name?
And he tells me it's Kevin. So this is the second piece of paper that I write down and
I give it to him, and then I ask him to think of a girl's name. now I'm actually going to
write down Kevin again, and then I give it to him, then I asked my brother what is the
girl's name, and he tells me the girl's name, so then I write down the girl's name. And
then what did I do next? You asked me who was better. Who was the better play Rondo
or Jeremy. Then I write down the girl's name again, and then you tell me who the better
player is, and in this case I already knew it was going to be Rondo. So I just write
down Rondo again. so on a rating of 1 to 10, How would you rate this trick? 7. 7. Above
average. Okay. He is an honest guy. Thank you for watching, see you again for the next
trick. Thank you.
