[For Wednesday]
Keep your June holiday free. For one-night only, on 8 June, Nique Tan performs his unique brand of mind-reading demonstrations. He is an excellent sleight of hand artist, and consummate professional entertainer. Do attend, and he will entertain fully and thoroughly. I just conducted a fascinating interview with this intelligent and highly approachable gentleman, and will post it up soon on a few websites and online magazines.
How do you know when you know? When you hear somebody utter, ‘I know!’ what do they mean? Do you believe in intuition? Do you believe that we are capable of reading somebody’s mind? Can we really know what somebody is thinking about?
The Mentalist is television’s attempt to integrate popular psychology in the field of forensic pathology. What goes on in the psyche and mind of a criminal? Can we put ourselves in their shoes and figure out their next move? TV series Psych describes a highly observant and irreverent private investigator (posing as a psychic) working in partnership with a logical-rational business partner-friend – free-lancing for the police to solve challenging cases.
Thinking is a sensing process: we gather information from our five senses. Our brain then processes the information gathered from our sensing: sense, nonsense, sensibility, and sensations. Our intuition is a relatively unexplored area of our abilities. Sometimes, we do things that are counter-intuitive and go against the grain of conventional thinking. Creative approaches like lateral thinking, or thinking outside the box, are analogies to alternative thinking.
If you believe in the almost, limitless potential of the human brain then psychic entertainers and mind readers could be your cup of tea. Those of us familiar with Derren Brown’s of the Mind Control, and Trick of the Mind series may be interested to attend a ‘live’ show of such mental phenomena.
