Episode notes
Mentalism Is Skilled Psychology, Not Psychic
- Mentalism combines psychology, empathy, and showmanship to create the illusion of mind reading.
- Oz reads nonverbal cues, tone, and pacing rather than using supernatural powers.
Use Time Limits And Positive Hooks
- Use false time constraints and positive rhetorical hooks to lower resistance when approaching people.
- Avoid yes/no questions and frame openings that only offer upside to keep conversations open.
Partition Rejection From Self-Worth
- Separate rejection from self-worth by mentally delegating criticism to an 'agent' or container.
- Create mental barriers to protect your ego so failure doesn't stop risk-taking.
