(English version) Mentalism : The Hidden Power of the Mind for dummies

In 13 steps to Mentalism, Tony Corinda explains the secret to the Knight’s tour. In 1947, in São Paulo, Miguel Najdorf achieved an extraordinary feat: 45 simultaneous chess games, blindfolded. No escape, no board in sight. Just a prodigious memory and the ability to visualize the invisible.

How is this possible? Because the human mind is a fascinating machine, capable of conceiving, anticipating, and calculating at dizzying speeds. Najdorf saw every piece in his imagination, predicting dozens of moves in advance.

The Power of Imagination: A Myth?

Imagination is often relegated to artists, dreamers, those who sketch out invisible worlds. But in reality, everything around you first existed in someone’s mind.

Bridges, vaccines, computers, groundbreaking theories… All were born from a unique ability: visualizing the unknown before it takes form.

To illustrate the power of the mind, an ad for the Mercedes car is shown, showing the left brain and right brain. Both are apt for mentalism, multiple colours on the right and black and white reason on the left.

And what if you could tap into this ability beyond ordinary limits?

Abilities That Seem Out of Reach… Until Now

Imagine:

  • Defeating four simultaneous opponents in Connect Four, blindfolded, hands behind your back.
  • Reciting ten thousand digits of Pi, without hesitation.
  • Instantly knowing what day of the week March 17, 1632, or September 22, 2087, falls on.
  • Deducing the missing digit of a credit card number without ever seeing it.

Impossible? Not quite.

Einstein conceptualized relativity before it could ever be proven. Alexander Graham Bell envisioned a connected world before inventing the telephone. Darwin reconstructed the history of evolution from scattered clues.
