Reading Minds - Mentalism Vs. Magic「読心術 - メンタリズム対手品」

What if you could read what other people are thinking? This is something often performed in magic, but it is an entirely (completely) different type of magic according to some people.
Reading minds is just one small piece of the practice that people call “Mentalism”.
Many mentalists (people who perform mentalism) claim not to be magicians at all, arguing that it is a different art form altogether. The argument is that mentalism invokes belief (causes belief) and when presented properly (correctly), is offered as being "real", a claim of psychic (supernatural) ability.
On the other hand, Magicians ask the audience to suspend (put on pause) their disbelief and allow their imagination to play with the various tricks they present. They admit that they are tricksters and entertainers, and know the audience understands it's an illusion and the magician cannot really achieve the impossible feats (acts) shown, such as sawing a person in half and putting them back together without injury.
More recently, many magicians mix mentally-themed performances with magic illusions.
Our next magic trick is a good example of a mentalism illusion at work.
