So please welcome international mentalist Michael Samen to our studio. Hello, thanks for having me. I'm so happy to see you guys. We're happy to see you, but we're also a little nervous. Not going to lie. Right, most people are nervous about it. When I run out on stage, many people are like, you know, we're scared, we're scared. How do you decide, like, for the street stuff, how do you decide who to approach? Like, is something drawing you to a particular person, or what? So, funnily enough, the reason I went back to doing street stuff was, once I started performing a lot, I realized I'm disconnecting myself from the real world, like the audience and people. So, me and my team decided, you know what, A great idea would be to actually start doing street content and connecting to people. So we try many different types of people. Every person, like we've tried people that are younger, people that are older, and we're always trying to get the best reactions out of everyone. So as a mentalist, we're looking who's going to give me the best reaction and we're going to work with that. You know, I want to start immediately to dive in and to try messing around with your brain. Okay, okay, okay. Dive in, dive in. Okay, fine. If you want me to, let's say, they say that an image is worth more than a thousand words. Yeah. Right, so let's say here you could have some. Okay. And you could look at the images as well. You could have some as well. Oh, God, yeah. And you could shuffle them. You could, like, mix them and mix them. These are very random pictures, by the way. Very random. Very random. And let's say... You could mix and mix, and you could place them amazing, and once you're done shuffling you could... Give them back? Yeah, why not? Did you take these pictures? No, I didn't. Oh, okay. But... Okay. Look at this. So now one last thing. You're going to take the cards and let's say you could actually do it like this. Let's say you could take small groups or you could take single cards. You could go from the middle. You could go from the top. You're just going to keep putting them on one pile. Just go for it. Keep going. Like here? Yeah, yeah. On the same pile. You could go from the middle, from the bottom, whatever you feel like. Just keep going. Oh, here. This pile. Okay. Oh yeah, sure. You know what? Why not? Yeah. Maybe I'm influencing you. Maybe. That's a good question. Do the opposite of what he said. I know. It's always people are trying to fight you. They're trying to outplay you right now. That's good. It's a good thing. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Am I doing a good job? Okay, and we're going to square this up. Keep going. Keep going. That was stressful. Keep going. Very stressful. All right. Could you, let's say, just cut it one last time. Just cut it in the middle. And we're going to do this. So let's say we're going to mark it... Sorry, let's just leave it at that. If I'll ask you to think of a... So, think of your first crush or kiss you ever had. Okay. Yeah. Now, is there any way in the world I could possibly know who you're thinking of? I don't think so. Right? There's like literally no way. People feel that the thought is the most private thing, but I'm going to try studying you really, really quick. Okay. So, for example, let's say, could you think, by the way, do you know the name she's thinking of? No. I don't think I've ever told you. No. No. Okay. So if you think of the amount of letters in the name. As you can see, immediately her body language goes like a shot. I know. She doesn't want to give me any information or anything. I'm like defensive mode right here. I'm going to go like this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. It's a short name, correct? Mm-hmm. Four letters? Mm-hmm. She's like, you know, but many people have four letters in their name, right? Like four, five, three. It's like, it's very common, right? Uh-huh. Yeah. Like, you know, but many people have four letters in their name, right? Like four, five, three. It's like, it's very common, right? But how old were you when you... When you had that first crush, about how old were you? You want me to tell you out loud? Yeah, how old were you? Don't say the name, just how old were you? Sixteen. What? I'm a late bloomer. You're old. I know. Gosh, I had a crush in first grade. If I do this, I'll ask you. No, we're talking about first kiss. I'm talking about first kiss. Okay. Yeah. All right, fine. Is that okay, first kiss? Sure. Okay, so it's like changing mid-thing, but that's fine. Oh, uh-oh. Okay, that's good. You never know. It's like the first kiss, first crush. Okay, so think of the name. Yep. I'm going to go like this. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. And, okay, could you close your eyes for just a moment? Mm-hmm. I'm going to go like this, and I'll show you. I'll show the audience at home, and I'll ask you, could you, you could open your eyes, and could you tell us, what's the name you're thinking of? Nick. Really? How did you know? Well, I'm a mind reader. How did you know? That's so random. Random. Nick it is! By the way, Nick, if you see this. Nick Jones! Nick Jones? With like the plainest name, Nick Jones! Wow! Oh my gosh! What if I, if we go, names are very personal. Yes. But what if we think about the future, things we want to do, maybe places in the world or things like that. So let's say if I'll ask you to think of any place in the world. Okay. Now, you're going to fight me with this. Ready? I'm always ready to fight. Okay, so let's say, think of... The place in the world, and I'll say, change your mind, you could fight me, you could change, you could, okay. I'm gonna go A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. I'll ask you to do this, ready, so you could keep your neck right over here, I'll give you, oops, I have a marker right over here, I'll ask you to write down, nice and big, Whatever place it is you're thinking of, but don't show her, don't show me. I'm going to look away. Okay, I haven't been... Oh, should I not give you any clue? Don't give me any clue at all. Fine. Look away. I'm going to help you out. But I won't. Okay. Did you write it nice and big so everyone will be able to see it later? Yeah. Amazing. You could put it down. And let's see... Just to see how you think. If you think of... Think of the last letter. Last letter, you have it? I'm going to go like this. A, B, C, D, E. Is it a vowel? Last letter would be a vowel, but not a... Probably a knee would be a knee? Yes. OK. I'll try to get them back to you in a second, but I'll show you what I want to do. I'm going to try figuring it out, but with the cards you shuffled. What? Okay. We'll try. So, like I said, like an image is worth more than a thousand words. Okay. So, if we, uh, if we, uh, we're gonna start counting from the place you cut the cards to, right? Okay. Okay. So, we're gonna go here in the middle. Mm-hmm. So, let's say, um, what is that? What is that? It's like a railroad track. Like a railroad, right? Okay. Is it, is it a place that's, uh, maybe very far away from here? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Um, I'll go with, uh... It's a baseball. A ball? Is it maybe sports-related? 90 seconds. Is it sport-related? No. No. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Is there like a beach there? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Let's keep going. 90 seconds. We have a light. Not exciting. You know, a door. Maybe it's like an older place? Uh-huh. Yes. Okay. And one last thing. Sports again, maybe? I don't know. Oh, it's a clamp. You know what? What's the place you're thinking of? What did you write down? Say it out loud? Yeah. Grease. Grease. You know what's crazy? If you actually look at these, this isn't a clamp. This isn't a door. It actually, it's a G. Oh my gosh. You spelled it out? It's an R. What? G? Wait, how do we show that? Well, try showing it like this. You did. Hold on. Here, give me the pad. Give me the pad really quick. You did spell that out. Here, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. I knew that's what you're going to think of. How did you know that? You did spell. And before the show, I took a picture of it. What?
