You will sometimes fail, but your hit rate will begin far higher than that of a real psychic's subconscious guesswork, and that hit rate improves steadily as you learn more about how to present such mental feats in ways that suit you, and as you become comfortable with the idea of performing in this way. In contrast to subconsciously applying this ramshackle mental storehouse of knowledge, the Naked approach uses accurate, purpose-built mental maps, deliberately learned 13Īnd accessed at will. You may, in other words, be completely unaware of how you know something.

What's perhaps most amazing is that you will probably have come by the knowledge used to create such insights without any conscious effort whatsoever. It all depends on how much you know about the subject or situation in question. Such insights are sometimes breathtaking in their accuracy. However, such insights are delivered without conscious access to the thought processes involved in their creation they simply pop into your head fully formed. Psychology says that such experiences are the personal interpretations of insights provided by the subconscious mind, which synthesizes them from past experience. So, what do you use instead? To answer that, we must examine what it is that people claim as "psychic" insights, for want of a better phrase. For what might be the first time, there's nothing up your sleeve, nothing to peek, crib, write, burn, tear, or erase. So-called Naked effects abandon the physical methods and apparatus usually available to the performer.

Once again, our theme is the creation of effects that emulate as closely as possible the natural abilities of the psychically gifted. I 0 IĮlcome to volume III of Naked Mentalism.
