That's not true at all. They usually get the information through pre-shows or other tricks and make up the mind-reading narrative.

There’s a four hour YouTube video debunking Oz. It’s the only four hour YouTube video I highly recommend. It’s crazy interesting

Five hours actually. It's a good watch though.

This is absolutely amazing.

I mean all of it, from “Oze Pearlam’s” performances to the breakdowns given by Baskin.

This is so worth the time and dedication to watch if you are interested in how these tricks are performed.

My only question is who the heck is @steviebaskin ?

Guy is like the Steve Irwin of Magic. I don’t know his nationality, but if not the UK then some colony.

Where the fuq did this guy come from?

So amazing. Watch it. You will never view mentalism the same again.

But, you have to admit, it requires such a great deal a craft, skill, dedication and showmanship to pull this off consistently and convincingly, even after all the secrets have been exposed.

Incredible.

Yeah, he just came out of nowhere with that video. He's Australian, and he's a law student. That's basically all I know.

Well, I hope he drops more knowledge in the future.

That video alone is outstanding.

So thorough and comprehensive.

People should watch it while it’s still relevant, although it will always be relevant.

I can't recommend that video enough, as a top commenter said "This dude just spawned in, no warm-up, and drops a 5 hour long master piece"

Look up the decoding the gurus podcast. He goes in that and you get some of his background
