[Music]
ladies and gentlemen we invite you to
play mind games with us
music now some audiences like you when
they hear the word mind games assume
that they have to participate in
everything we do right from the start
and they’d be correct
so I’m gonna ask all of you to please
stand up everybody standing now I’m
going to ask to think about a wild
animal on the count of three it’s gonna
be one two three and if just now you
thought about a lion or a tiger please
lastly that’s about half of you the
people still remaining I’m going to ask
to think about a color on the count of
three it’s going to be one two three and
if you just thought about Rhett or blue
please sit down again and we are looking
for the most unpredictable thinkers we
will do one last round of this
everybody’s still standing I’m going to
ask you to think about a simple
geometric shape right now and if you
just thought about a circle or a
triangle please sit down
[Music]
still have quite a few of you standing
the ants I just gave are the
statistically most likely answers so the
people still standing are the most
unpredictable fingers we will have to
make a choice for one of you I believe
the gentleman with the wonderful pattern
shirt you’d be great for this please
remain standing the rest of you please
sit down you can also sit down thank you
sir in the shirt I’m gonna you please
state yes I’m gonna ask you to think
about a number between one and 30 you
have one perfect now your animal wasn’t
a lion nor a tiger
what was your animal please loud and
clear a dolphin very good I love
dolphins your color wasn’t Retton or
blue what was your color purple and your
shape wasn’t a triangle nor a circle
what was the shape a Pentagon
a purple dolphin framed by a Pentagon
I’m gonna name one single digit between
1 and 30 and if that’s your number you
two may sit down a purple dolphin framed
by a pentagon equals 9
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
they say the human mind is the weakest
link in the security chain but is it
true it absolutely is
we’ve been proving this claim for the
past six months in our theater tour
every night again with the demonstration
that we’re about to show you and they
say that the first round means you have
to participate in any theater show but
not tonight I’d like to change it up a
little but actually let’s take it to the
fire bag let’s keep the house lights on
for a moment hmm
I like the sure there’s another person a
nicely patterned shirt a wrap one we
please wave to me that’s perfect we
please get up for me and what you shout
your name over Andrew can I get a nice
warm welcome for Andrew Andrew please
join me on stage join me yes please keep
it going once he gets up on stage we’ll
get them nice and warm well who’s coming
from all the way in the bag yeah people
are starting to clap we can do that’s
springing up on stage together
[Music]
ladies German nice loud Andrew thank you
please join me
no no you can stand on the spots come
here perfect Andrew welcome good to have
you on stage I saw you I thought you’d
be perfect for this so it’s great we
from South Africa and you came in from
the UK and you live in Amsterdam should
be very interesting mind you have Andrew
you may not yet be familiar with the art
of reading people so let me ask you this
do you know how mind reading works no
mind reading Andrew a ladies and
gentlemen works a lot like pickpocketing
come a little closer relax your hands
because Andrew while a pickpocket might
touch you over here and steal something
from this pockets a mind reader may have
you concentrate on one thought and go
for an entirely different thought at the
same time please turn forward take a
small step forward
close your eyes there gonna be a bit
better in the lighting keep your eyes
firmly closed now Andrew I must confess
I’m a pickpocket of the mind I tried the
other kind of pickpocketing but ladies
and gentlemen honestly I’m not very good
at it
I would say I’m just about average so
maybe Andrew I can try and pickpocket
your minds just focus on something most
people wouldn’t know about you maybe
your date of birth Andrew yes or no were
you born on the 8th of June yes
fantastic your telepathy is on point
open your eyes
I believe our mental connection is very
strong take a small step back so you’ll
be a bit lighter than the light let’s go
for something a little more challenging
Andrew I assume you are in possession of
a bank card yes like a credit card or
debit card it’s probably in your wallet
fantastic and there would be a pin code
attached to that bank card yes four
you’re gonna keep that for yourself
that’s smart Andrew that however is what
this experiment is going to be about now
we are in the intimacy of these 600
people here tonight so let me ask you
this and no pressure would you be
comfortable with me revealing your pin
code if I succeeded in this experiment
sure seem semi convinced I’ll take that
and you can you put your hand against
mine is it four digits in England as
well perfect
Andrew or ladies and gentlemen do you
know what happens when I say do not
think about blue elephant what’s gonna
happen you can shout it
you’re gonna think about it that’s
exactly right and it is similar please
do not think about the first digit of
your PIN code try absolutely everything
not to think about it that’s a one two
three four five six seven eight nine
zero it’s a one two three four five six
seven eight nine zero Andrew are you
trying to bluff me by thinking of a
different digit right now yes then it’s
too easy the first digit is not a seven
but yeah against my ninja we’re not done
yes Andhra please do not think about the
second digit of your PIN codes do
everything not to think about it look at
me
thank you that’s a one two three four
five six seven eight nine zero now the
fascinating thing is experienced helps
me when people don’t think about the
second digit they will often consciously
or subconsciously think about the third
digit it’s the third digit of your
pincode zero purpose and you put your
hand up yes thank you I’m gonna call out
four digits if those four digits are
your pin code you can high-five me if
Andrew high-fives me you can give him a
massive round of applause please put
– 5:06 ladies gentlemen Andrew please
take your seat thank you very much
well done thank you
[Applause]
playin general even though andrew had an
excellent poker face and was
comparatively hard to read the human
mind remains the weakest link in the
security chain so please do be careful
with vital information like your PIN
codes because the principles we use up
here for your entertainment may be used
out there to your loss
there is unfortunately some dishonest
people out there
which reminds me he’s in the very back
maybe give this wallet back to Andrew
hand it through to the audience ladies
and gentlemen this was our mind games
with Kevin wolf and Henning Knight art thank you very much
