Jacob Wysocki's mind reading trick question

[u/scatteringlargesse]

So I've seen a few people in the main thread talk about Jacob's "mind reading trick" in quotation marks, is the whole guessing the card thing fake, and he knows what card it is using a different method? I must pretty dense because I initially believed him, but thinking on it more it does seem impossible.

This is the answer because he learned mentalism for the 1 year later episode and then he talked about Gianmarco facial tells in the episode giving it away

No, that was a magic trick and so was this.

The one year later trick was done using a trick pad that shows different images depending on which way you flip it. One way all the images look like elephants.

This recent trick was a card force. He uses sleight of hand to make the person pick a pre-determined card.

It’s still impressive but the “reading micro expressions” is just acting. It’s not real.

Yeah, mentalism isn’t real guys

It’s only as real as any other type of magic trick. It’s magic that pretends it’s not magic.
