- In a world filled with illusions and misinformation, understanding the power of our beliefs is crucial, as seeing is not always believing. Mentalist Andrew Nunn has been practicing magic for 25 years, and has mastered the art of deception in performance. While he is no psychic and can't read minds, Andrew can demonstrate how beliefs influence our perception of reality. We're wired to believe what we see, even when confronted with the impossible, but with scam rates being higher than ever, how can we be more vigilant with ourselves when it comes to assessing what's real and what is in fact, delusion.
Andy Nunn has dedicated his life to unravelling the mysteries of the mind. Using the power of magic and mentalism, Andrew Nunn challenges the status quo and aims to change how his audience sees the world. An avid scuba enthusiast and ultramarathon runner, Andrew is energised by his curiosity and undaunted by the uncomfortable. With over 25 years of experience, beginning his magical journey at the esteemed Magic Circle at the age of 10, he offers incredible insights into the boundless capabilities of the human mind.

I love The Mentalist. I love Lie to Me.

Though, I can't be totally certain about it. I do believe I can explain the apple balloon bit. I believe he actually gave the answer as to how he knew there at the end. Everyone noticed they were both red right. Though we are all different our minds function, for the most part, very much the same way. Psychologically speaking of course. Most people are going to associate one object with another based on shape. Another factor in the association is usually color. The apple, all ready being very close in shape to a balloon is your first determiner. The next is the color of the apple which was red. The same color as the balloon at the end. I'm not certain, but I would not doubt that the most common color of balloons is red. There's that bit explained, or at least, how I would have thought it through. I am uncertain as to the name bit, though it required the participant to be in close proximity, thus the joining him on stage part. Or, you know, there's always the possibility she was a plant. Very common amongst magical acts once upon a time and probably still is to a certain extent. I hope I didn't confuse anyone even more so with my explanation. I apologize if so.
discernment is a very useful human tool
Really well done Andy, loved it.
Soooo excellent making us question everything!!
and if it cannot be proved by science, you know that it isn’t real and only imagination. Ones who who are creative imagine away as well!
Incredible and Amazing as always ❤
He's so easy to listen to...and believe in!!
Great stuff Andy! 👏
Thank you Looch
FANTASTIC
Seeing is believing and believing is seeing
Through science!
Life itself is magic. I like to remind myself to not take things too seriously and to keep an open mind. Mindfulness helps. I like using the book 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels for mindfulness to get out of my own mind.
I 100% agree with you. I've been meditating for years now
CONGRATULATIONS
Ya quiero que inicien las vacaciones de navidad

How can a knowledge in psychology let him know what a person has in their mind while he doesn't even know how that person or how the person's psyche works.

the most important tool that we all have is our ability to question what we see.
@@user-zd2db6ge6kwith fact based science that can be explained and proven conceptual. Or argue the lie
I always thought a mentalist was an insane person 🤔
What is. “Insane”?
@@I_membahh "What is." A dictionary?
@@I_membahh doing the same thing over and over and expecting different outcome, oh wait that is stupidity.
Ah😮

So how did he get a name that rare? Or was the girl in the audience REALLY part of it all THE WHOLE TIME???? Like how many licks does it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop ~ THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
As anyone that was “there” would always say. “You’d never understand unless, you where there” as in (they value their experience so much that human egos do not let others discredit their experience, and thus being , in itself, their lives).
But how could he...?
it's a set up.
Illusion and presentation practices to , well, be good enough for a national stage? idk though I’m just an average nobody lol
Think those 2 people he chose were paid actors
Witch! :)
