Can you be a mentalist? 👀 #patrickjane #mentalist #unitedstates #psycology

Very good, let's start with something simple but incredibly powerful, mirroring and breaking the rhythm. When you're talking to someone, whether it's a stranger or a woman you're interested in, observe her posture. If she crosses her arms, subtly change her own position as well. If she starts speaking more slowly, slow down your own pace. This is called rapport. Her mind will unconsciously register that the two of you are in sync. You become familiar, safe, but here's the mentalist's secret, the break. After a few minutes of mirroring her, make a sudden physical movement and change the subject to something completely unexpected. Ask a direct question while staring straight into her eyes like, "Why did you suddenly become tense?" Or, "What are you trying to hide from me with that smile?" The person will become disarmed. In that split second of mental confusion, their defenses drop. The response they give you next, whether they stutter, look away to the right, or adjust their clothes will tell you exactly what they're really feeling. Whoever controls attention controls the mind. Try it today. Just don't tell them I taught you.
