I usually don’t fall for stuff like this but for some reason this one just feels so real

[@insidejah9293]

Tj Shaw - lol because Jalen isn't in on it,his reactions are genuine.... Beadle is acting and Oz put an earpiece in Greeny's ear, the first trick was a little tricky tho, they used code pay attention @:51-:55

[@melchardcaranto4675]

2:33 the way he just drops the paper and walks off 😂😂😂

Don't worry folks I know his weakness, its lottery numbers.

[@andremcfarlane2821]

He kept on stressing West to guide her to the region he wanted all along ....... I think, Mentalists and Magicians fascinate me I always was intrigued it's cool stuff

[@insidejah9293]

@:51-:55 you hear Beadle say "on my mom and my DOGS" and the other dude says "it's as PIG as it gets" (Butler Bulldogs and Arkansa Razorbacks) ..and for the Jalen one, the magician had an earpiece in his right pocket that he put in the dudes ear and someone in the control room fed him the score on the paper (watch magicians right hand and pocket and hand on Greenys ear, and notice how he made Greeny take out his ear piece), everyone BUT Jalen Rose was in on it!

[@aDiosHomie]

And when OZ says “I’m teaching a man to fish” to Jalen. The Seton Hall mascot is a pirate

[@VonJay]

Ok, 3 things, and I'm not saying that you're wrong. 1. Second order logic/if the trick was fake 2. Priming and first order logic/if the trick is real 3. Higher order logic/ if the answer can only be realized by observing the author of the trick 1. Using predicate logic and second order logic to place the "magician" within the same set of compliance with the lady and Mike, I don't believe that the tip offs are proof. If they are in the same compliance set then everything they planned had to be planned before the segment was shot. Mike doesn't say "it's as pig as it gets," i don't hear him say that and neither does the closed caption read that. He says, "about as big as it gets" which is a reference to the book "as big as it gets" which is about a sick parent not being able to support their kids, which itself is a rebuttal to the lady swearing "on my MOM and my dogs." Furthermore, not only is this not proof that Mike tipped off the magician but Mike not even looking at the paper that the lady is holding leaves him no chance of knowing what other team she's "thinking" of. This leads us, through second order logic, to include the studio within the set of compliance. But even if the studio is in on the trick, the lady doesn't write any information down about which team she picked. The "dogs" is a tip off, but there's no Razorback indicator beside the region of the paper she looks at while the magician speaks. Nor, as was said above, does Mike look at her paper. Which means if the segment is fake, all was prepared beforehand. Later with the Mike prediction, i cannot see the magician place anything in his ear but that doesn't mean that he didn't. Jalen actually shows the paper to the camera and with this the studio can tip Mike off through an earpiece(which i never see the magician place in his ear). 2. If the"trick" is real. -Through first order logic, the magician will be in a set of his own, against one other set: Jalen, the lady and Mike. Through a priming technique, you can do something familiar to psychologists called the "click, whirr" technique. Which is an automatic (if you're not aware of it) and robotic physiological response to stimuli in all animals. The chart the magician prepares or uses is evidently memorized by the magician. He can line up which part of the page in his mind with what division the teams are under,"East, West." And supposedly uses that to narrow down what she's thinking of as he watches her eyes. Only then after reading where her eyes went does The magician use a forging technique and actually picks the team under that division, then he suggests it to the lady by saying a few times. He then enlists the "swear" click whirr primer and actually suggests bad teams "underdogs" again by saying "everyone likes an upset." Which she then, in a moment of excitement, and an indication of the primer's compliance principal, she actually shows that she's complying by swearing on "my mom and my DOGS." Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that the magician will get this right all the time. The key is when he checks if she's complying with the primer by asking her to swear and her compliance is evident in whatever she swears to. This hardly works if the Mentalist doesn't have any prior knowledge of the person. And this doesn't work if the Mentalist doesn't engage her chronoception(body's sense of time) primer by speaking fast and rushing the trick. - priming can only work on Mike if there are apparent primers that he's subject to. And there aren't any. Mike never looks at the paper that the lady has which have divisions. So the magician can't trace where his eyes are looking, if he were to look at actual numbers on the page. The only thing Mike has is his own earpiece and a possible one provided by the Mentalist. Or a small radio held in the mentalist's hand as he holds Mike's head. Again i don't see the magician place anything in Mike's ear. I looked at the video several times and this never happens. If he has something in his hand that whispers the score to Mike as Jalen shows the paper. That's the only thing that i can think of. 3. So in conclusion, the Mentalist doesn't prime the entire segment or doesn't prime at all. Meaning, that, the lady, Mike and the magician and even possibly Jalen are all part of the same set. -If all of them are part of the same set then everything was done or prepared before the segment aired. Jalen just so happened to leave enough of the paper open for a studio member to see and then signal sent to Mike's ear. Or, if there was no earpiece provided by the magician then the entire segment may have been rehearsed prior to the show. So higher order logic is the only way to get the answer. And the answer is in physically observing the author of the segment. Not through a television. Which could be a testament to how much the author prepared the segment. If you don't use predicate logic equations and place the actions in the variables of the formula correctly, you won't even be able to know if you should use second to third order logic equations. Hence, you'll go with your gut feeling instead going with the closest truth after eliminating all other options. Great Magicians prepare tricks on the higher order levels because most people will never be able to observe the planning of the trick. And Great primers have an efficient profile of the person they wish to control. It's through an association of two ideas, mainly the one that a person holds to heart, and then attach a relevant action, let's say, when asked to pick a team, that a primer can use as a window to influence. I'm vonjay and i approve this message.

[@insidejah9293]

DrVonJay - sorry but this was a sad attempt at trying to disprove my hypothesis. You used the word Logic but everything that you used to counter my explanation was heresay and supposition. You talk as if you know for 100% certain what was in everyone's head and that is NOT logic, it is logic to assume that this was a trick and that it was done like most TV magicians do it, where everyone is in on it! Not only that but you cannot prove with 100% certainty from looking at a KZbin video that Greeny said BIG instead of PIG, the letters B and P have extremely similar pronunciations as one is hard and the other soft... if said with other words that are familiar and said in a way that will trick someone the words are almost interchangeable (ex: 'You are getting too BIG for your britches & You are getting too PIG for your britches), this fact is easily testable by saying those two examples sentences to you friends with the intentions of trying to trick them and see if they can tell the difference. The magician Oz has managed to trick all matters of minds on this particular presentation, it looks as if you were tricked as well.

[@VonJay]

Ben-O The Last 3rd Eye first of all i can tell that you didn't read what i said. Look again at the first sentence..."I'm not saying your wrong" And you're mistaking the word logic for predicate logic which are two different things. Predicate logic is a group of mathematical equations used to determine the truth about data sets, events, speech, literature etc, on things that seem to be ambiguous or not readily apparent. The ONLY thing i whole heartedly disagreed with you about was what Mike said about pigs. He CLEARLY says "about as big as it gets" and your can put your device on closed caption and he says the same thing. I can clearly hear it and read it through the closed caption. I can tell you didn't read the whole thing because you wouldn't have said that. And you definitely wouldn't have used to the world logic since i used an adjective before logic which gives it a specific meaning other than what you think it is. You probably don't even know what predicate logic means yet you respond by saying i didn't use logic? What the fuck???! Lmao

[@VonJay]

Ben-O The Last 3rd Eye i actually stated that i don't know what the lady is thinking neither does Mike know and the likelihood of him being tipped off by her is low since he never looks in her direction. I even broke it down to where If they were in similar sets of compliance what would have to be rehearsed or said live during the segment. But you clearly didn't read what i said because you wouldn't have responded that way

[@davidgilmour3173]

Haters will say it’s fake

[@l-m-f-ayoo1770]

Did nobody else notice this man take a massive whiff of jalen Rose hands?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheMotherfer]

This is the new trio that will start your mornings.

[@EJBanks]

This is great tv

[@joshnyjets]

GREEEEENYYYYYYY!!!!! I missed Greeny

[@game_theory2547]

yup

[@Giiiiiiiooooooooo]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 jalens reaction hahaha

[@layz7870]

Here how the trick works. THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT DUMMIES. It's how a lot of the best magic tricks work

[@Raymund0]

Lay Z no dummy. Not everyone is in on it. The only one who's in on it is Mike. Michelle and Jalen don't know.

[@brzy1188]

It is obviously fake since it is impossible to predict the exact score like that, therefore it is either rehearsed or there is some sort of screen or hidden earpiece to communicate what Jalen wrote.

[@Raymund0]

Brzy Mike is in on it. But Jalen and Michelle aren't in on it so that's why they have a natural reaction.

[@tbonestk6440]

Lay Z ssshhhh let people enjoy nice things

[@canes3156]

Jalen too black to fake a reaction like that😂😂😂

[@tmgodsgift]

So I guess his picks had Loyola..can't wait to see this ish!

[@gerrelsaunders]

Keep your eye on his right hand when he's doing the bit with Jalen.

[@theearthisflatandimlightsk4801]

Gerrel Saunders what he do with his hand

[@jamtherapysouthafrica8284]

@Adam Leon.... 😂😂😂😂😂.... I'm dead! 😂 ... ya'll are crazy

[@VonJay]

Adam Leon lmao 😂

[@robaustin_]

He pulled microphone from his pocket and put it near the back of his head.

[@jerryesque3747]

This is not magic. This guy is studying these people before he meets them, and is actually giving them the answers through social cues. Its a really clever way of mental manipulation. In a sense, he had the answer already, and mentally manipulates them to unknowingly choose the answer he already has for them.

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

Its not magic, he's using subtle suggestion to influence their answers.

[@codkue5142]

X'O Host thank god there are some smart ppl left... i was losing hope

[@Lianalia09]

He took off the earbuds to put a tiny speaker behind his head *watch the right hand during Jalen turn

DAMN you can really see the age on beadle in the beginning

I can list other things that he could have done as a primer that will satisfy the first order logic approach and also satisfy his career but those techniques would be way off since i didn't observe what he possibly suggested to unknowingly influence all of the ESPN anchors prior to going live. This will also satisfy his authenticity which, if anyone was in on it, would blemish his standing. I'm vonjay and i approve this message.

[@actionshot942]

DrVonJay I think u accidentally pasted ur English class essay😳

[@VonJay]

Actionshot942 math class. Predicate logic is a math subject.

Oz was this a push?

[@amald13738]

At 1:56 and 2:06 he’s grabbing something from his pockets. Don’t now what tho

[@insidejah9293]

The God - check my comment that I just made for the answer! And the secret to BOTH tricks

[@Drewski256]

The God microphone. That’s why the guy behind jalen is holding a speaker. And mike is looking at the monitor that shows the answer. Lol

[@sisepuede5612]

Greeny heard a voice in his head from the speaker the guy holds to the back of his head. A producer says what’s on the paper. Jalen isn’t in on it.

[@insidejah9293]

Sean Zais - its not a speaker it's an ear piece that's why he needs him to take out the one he has in, but you are correct about the fact that Jalen is the only one who isn't in on it, but if you go back and pay attention to :51-:55 you will hear how they did the first trick, they didn't tell Oz the teams before hand but they gave him clues.

[@copium5050]

@@insidejah9293 What's the point of doing it that way when you they could just tell him in advance which teams it is? Not saying you're wrong just genuinely confused.

No way that can be unscripted right?

[@ALoadOfDucks]

Brandon Dorsey it can, it’s not reading m9nds is done through little suggestions that the untrained eye don’t see, there’s many videos on KZbin showing how this stuff is done.

[@insidejah9293]

Jalen is the only one not in on it, his reactions are genuine, check my post for how both tricks are done

[@VonJay]

If it's real it's because he's priming them. I did a trick on a student of mine who actually wanted to do a trick on me. He asked me to figure out where a card was that i chose in a stack. I directed him to the television about something seemingly unrelated to the trick that involved a rapper that he liked. It was just fortunate timing. There was a number shown on the television i can't remember from where, but i used that number to see if he'd use it to determine where he'd shuffle the card i chose. He then asked me to find it (before he could) and i "guessed" right. He used the number associated with something he liked. It was a quick decision. We played again and i chose not to prime him or i didn't have the opportunity to and of course he generated a number from the inside and not the out
