BookMarks #144: Mind Reader


Title
: Mind Reader
Author: Lior Suchard
Genre: Autobiography, Self-help
Published: 2013

BookMarks
Mind Reader is an autobiographical narration by a mentalist, Lior Suchard. The book tells about his performances as a mentalist, alongwith tips to improve the power of perception and persuasion in individuals. While no actual performance secrets are revealed (nor was it expected), he does give an insight into the human psychology and performing in front of an audience

He does highlight a couple of aspects
  • The sixth sense - perceiving the world through the mind
  • Chi energy, helping in telekinesis
Lines which stood out
  • The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bug
  • "A day without laughter is a day wasted" - Charlie Chaplin
  • Always think happy thoughts as you never know who is reading them
P.S. In my mind read most of the narration in the voice of Patrick Jane, the most famous "Mentalist" of them all!
