Did this mentalist mess up?

Can an elite mentalist actually read my mind? Since it's my birthday, I put international mentalist Michael Samen to the ultimate test to see if he could read my mind LIVE on Talking with Natasha. Michael has performed in some of the highest-pressure rooms in the world, including the World Economic Forum in Davos. In this episode, we unpack the psychology of mind-reading and explore how shared moments of wonder can completely shatter corporate hierarchy and status. From fooling billionaires to bringing mentalism back to the public through street performances, Michael tears down the "pedestal" we put celebrities on to show that, at our core, everyone just wants to be amazed. We dive into what mentalism actually is from a psychological perspective, how he got his start, and what life as a mentalist really looks like. Learn more about your ad choices.
