Well, for can boy, I'd say the most important factor is control. Trying to direct the flow of the conversation from certain topics; belittling the victim shows a need for feeling superior to others. Not wanting others to touch his belongings or move things out of place is also part of control. I'm not sure if he's looking for validation, by trying to get the others to agree with him, but with the upturned slant of the head I think he is seeking admiration ("look up to me"). I think the need to escape his cage is just an extension of his need for control - he can't be in control of himself or others as a prisoner. However, once outside, I'd expect him to disappear into a similarly confined space because it would offer him a greater sense of safety and predictability.
Wow!!!!! Amazing read! Literally profiler level analysis here! Pining this!!! And you’re absolutely right about admiration. He couldn’t care less if people agree, he’s too arrogant, he knows he’s right. The only slight thing I would add is although you’re absolutely right that he’s likely to go to somewhere he feels safe, he also has a need for decompression and relaxation. But epic conclusions here
@@SpideyHypnosis Thank you! That's high praise, and I appreciate it. I did notice the other comments about the sea noise CD, and the need to be at the beach. My thought is that he'd be like a rat or a snake, venturing outside to sun himself, but never far from his bolt hole if he had to retreat and feel safe.
@@SpideyHypnosis GOD DAMN! WOW! Genuinely loving your channel... I have been fascinated by psychology, mentalism and such for a very long time - I think this might actually come from my disdain for main stream religion and falling into alternatives LOL! So I also fell into "tarot Reading" and things like that... But I don't like the way that many use it to "Defraud people" - I prefer to be honest... They are just cards and people see what they want to see...
There was this one scene in the mentalist(100th episode I think), where Patrick Jane used made up cards that he made with scraps of paper to tell which of the suspects is the murderer. He set the made up cards on the table, and the killer took the "Death" card for himself in the scene. I would love it if you could review this scene Spidey
Basically he gives them the cards knowing what there gonna take or just cards that relate to each person. Then just goes off there reactions to what card they got like a sigh of relief for getting a card that wasn't the killer one :)
Luca Dawes I kwow the scene and jane explaines it also that way. But the key thing is, that he just spreads out the cards (not forcing by himself) and everyone takes one. And then, he switches an already shown card
I would say, the obvious one is his love for the beach and how that calms him. I guess you would call that his happy place. His need for control sticks out to me as well. He was friendly, but also wanted to take control of the conversation right off the bat, with the random comments about a massage. You could say that was a way of saying hes stressed, but honestly I think it was more of a way to off balance the other person and show his control over the conversation. He doesn't like change I would guess, from eating the same thing over and over again and needing the same sound machine to relax. The comment he made about the clown, and it being clever was interesting. Not exactly sure where to go with that, but once again I think it shows his enjoyment of controlling another person. Using something they fear was smart to him, which would control someones behavior and show dominance over them. Thats all i can really think of after 1 watch (I didn't want to re watch it, just go on memory after you asked.
@@SpideyHypnosis You are the best in the topics that I want to learn so that's why I wanna ask you if you can you suggest books on learning mentalism and physcometery and maybe on coldreading from absolute start. Btw the episode was very insightful I don't know any other person or where or good books on this topics so I am asking you.Thanks
Unfortunately, I am too big a fan of the show. I do like how Jane is subtly prodding him to see his reactions. Just wandering about and fiddling with things....and he does it in a lot of episodes. Usually not so much that it seems odd, but enough to unsettle someone. It's gatherig intel in a way most of us wouldn't think about. And Simon Baker does an excellent job of portraying that.
There's one game at a casino where he can pretty much guarantee a return payout, and it plays into his strengths: the Poker Tables. There's nowhere near as many counter measures because it's not their money at risk. They just want to make sure everyone at the table is playing clean, including the dealer. Patrick Jane could fleece the other players left and right. As long as everyone is having fun and no one is chased out of the casino, they won't care.
I assumed in the casino scene, he was referring to a poker table, as that's the one game that isn't solely chance like craps and where his skills would be relevant.
Once again a awesome video. I really enjoy to hear these things explained through the eyes of a mentalist. The clues i picked up from the scene are both the poster and the seagull sounds. It could give the conclusion that he eighter wants to be at a beach, or at least outside. The way he reacts in the conversation wasn't really open and the food looked simple to get. My thoughts is that he wants to be in a place there not a lot of people pay attention to him. (Watched it once)
The “no windows” isn’t really true anymore. Was years ago, but these days no. The green pyramids on the craps table is called the alligator. Adding extra decks to BJ doesn’t make it harder to count, but your right about penetration. Also most casinos on the strip pay a blackjack 6:5 instead of the normal 3:2, giving the casino an extra 1.4% edge making card counting useless as it’s not enough advantage to overcome the edge. You need to go off strip to find good games in Vegas. Station properties..
Yeah I didn’t want to get into too much detail for the average viewer for counting. The rules of the table, the spread, the limit on splitting aces, soft 17 rules etc make a big difference. Also here in Canada in a lot of casino the cut card goes 40-50% in which is why I brought up the multiple decks thing.
@@SpideyHypnosis “here in Canada” for some reason I always though you were in Vegas. Where in Canada? I’m in Edmonton. 20 year casino veteran. (Hobby magic/mentalism). Been kicked out of a bunch of strip casinos for counting lol.
@@AnthonyScottGames ha! I’m in montreal 😃. Got asked by many casinos in the reserves to deal for them. Always refused. Did you finish the video? I showed my bottom deal at the end.
@@SpideyHypnosis ya your bottom deal is awesome! My seconds are decent, but still need some practice, DPS the same. My bottoms are terrible though lol. Takes a lot of practice.
@@AnthonyScottGames yeah it’s takes enormous practice to get it smooth but it’s more of a knack. I personally find bottom deals more useful than seconds.
Great video! If you don't know the subject is casino, you could think it's about Ikea stores, beside the free alcohol :) Giant maze, you always spend more than you want, they do all they can to make you spend money, they indicates directions but not the shortest :D Thanks for the book recommandation!
The sterling silver case thing perplexed me a little. I mean it could be like you said about earpiece or something but that seems unlikely since that would've been like the early 80s. I thought maybe they used the technique of first letter of each word spelling out parts of it. They'd only need like ster- and sil- for him to know what it was and the dad did say things that seemed unnecessary for the setup (unlike the Evansons, so impressive!). But that didn't work either so I am curious if there was anything real in that scene which would've informed little Patrick. Even if they only picked one particular kind of item, which is a common technique, the sterling aspect gives away that there needs to be some form of communication exchanged between the two.
Very intresting video thanls Spidey ....I studied cheating at cards when I was still st school and wrote a project on it for my English exam which got me top marks. 😀....keep up the good work.
He has his own ideas about things and seeks validation to some degree or maybe just confirmation of his position of intelligence. He has anxiety I think and seeks out things for relaxation and finds reassurance in routine. This may be part of his seeking to control the situation and desire for validation. I didn’t see what the book was but it probably something to either validate an idea or related to anxiety or control.
Nothing the casino itself did, but I worked in surveillance and basically learned how to cheat. I’d watch for players who would raise and lower their bets based on the count of the cards out of the shoe. Watching dealers to make sure they cleared their hands, didn’t push the first card up out of the way (basically a second deal) out of the shoe. Watching the poker tables to see what the dealers were doing, watching players, etc. It was a small casino, so there weren’t many of us, but I did a couple of “classes” with the other people in surveillance to show them what to look for. I’m sure there’s plenty I didn’t pick up, but that’s just my small slice of casino life in the bowels of a casino.
Well, I just found out about 'The Mentalist' last week; and now I see this?! Spooky. 🤔 Edit: I'm pretty sure the Patrick Jane trick was the key-word principle. The amount of 'whats' for that lighter trick made me chuckle. (What = Sterling Silver) & perhaps (Do you know = Brass)
Needs of the interviewee. 1 - security via personal order. This guy has a visceral need to be in a familiar, controlled environment. From his reaction to Patrick touching his sounds-of-the-beach generator, to his adherence to a diet of canned pasta (multiple repurposed cans in the room). Even his need to quickly pass snap judgments on others gives himself a sense of superiority and assurance and thus control. 2 - intelligence. This guy has no stock in his looks (little grooming), charm (shows attitude), sanity (no sign of insecurity about being in a mental ward) or physique. His entire self image is built upon intelligence; he bets all his social value upon having high intelligence. He doesn't appear to want new friends, and may default to a superiority complex, but he keeps trying to show off how smart he is, even to those he doesn't respect. 3 - the beach, which relaxes him. The noise generator and the poster kind of give it away. ... by the way, this guy is obviously an extreme introvert.
@@SpideyHypnosis Random... but I took some psychology courses (up to 2nd year university; but I was a computer science major), and I'm a bit of an armchair psychologist wannabe. Even as a kid, my dad (an accountant) kept teaching me the power of words and language, and suggestion.
@@tomdalsin5175 wow. Your analysis was profiler level good. Especially your ability to clump things together that most people would look at separately. Good job!
You are correct however people make assumptions that card counting is illegal. And maybe in some casinos it is however in most gambling States card counting is just frowned upon not illegal. Pit bosses keep an eye out for common card counters and have the prerogative to blacklist or ban people.
I been playing cards my whole life. My friends and me spend tons of hours in the casino. My grandmother taught me at 4 years old and I never looked back. I also do magic as a hobby. That being said, I ALWAYS use a mechanics grip, as do all my friends and most of the people I play with. I and them never would think of cheating anyone. Therefore I feel that this claim is inaccurate. You could say that if someone is using a mechanic grip then you should pay more attention. However, I don't believe everyone using this grip is going to cheat.
Everyone who is going to cheat will use a mechanics grip. Doesn’t necessarily mean everyone using a mechanics grip is going to cheat. I said this will help you spot a cheater before they cheat and it will. I find it strange that you deal from mechanics even when you’re not going to cheat. Why? I don’t, ever, don’t know anyone who does.
I think the guy has confidence, because he thinks that what he is saying is absolutely right. And he has habbits, like everything has to be in its place, and he likes peace, which is in the beach or the seaside for him
Need for relaxation/freedom, need for intelligence and need for consistency! Nailed it! You’re missing one small one but it’s very close to his need for intelligence
The things I got from watching the clip @5:00 I think what he need is •freedom(move out to open air) •he has felt irritated on talking •not interested in Noah(the topic female was asking him) •hate others to touch his objects •loves nature probably beaches •felt attracted to female •intrested in eating I hope this is correct but not pretty confident 😅
These are good observations but unless you can figure out what his NEEDS are you can’t do much with these details. What do you think a person like this needs
In Germany and I guess the Netherlands, toofree alcohol in casinos is fotbidden. In the Netherlands sometimes they free non-alcoholic drinks and food. In Germany they even have entry fee.
Il be honest. I have watched this episode but... I dont remember it exactly idk what season what episode it is i think its before season 4 maybe late season 2 or early season 3 idk but tge last time that i ever watched the mentalist was like 5 months ago or smtng. My guess is that the guy wanted a vacation involving the beach or water of some sort cz he has the white noise mavhine on and its displaying the beach seagull sounds and also he has a pister up on his wall of a bikini model at the beach. Also if u noticed he is very insecure about patrick jane touching the white noise machine and usually when people do that it means that they try to hide it or its not their business at all or they urge and desire it which i think is true
Great video Spidey. I know psychometry is mostly trickery with a lot of presentation around it; but I was wondering if you had any thoughts about “real psychometry” I.e. what you can deduce about someone from a personal object such as hat, ring, or phone like Sherlock.
thanks! Glad you liked it 😊 I actually can do a lot with a phone. A persons phone tells you a lot! The damage of the phone, the case they chose (practical vs aesthetic) background pic. Most used apps. All very telling of a person. Can’t do much with items of clothing personally.
I always hit the like button before seeeing the video and i never regret. I love all about this serie, the breakdowns, explanations and how you always recommend a book. Absolutely amazing work. love your channel spidey :)
@SpideyHypnosis Can you do another analysis video on the scenes from The Mentalist? There’s something that he uses called positive reinforcement, and he does it in almost every episode. While I understand how positive reinforcement works with animals, I can’t quite understand it in the Mentalist. I don’t understand what is he trying to accomplish with it, what’s his point etc., but it seems really interesting 😃
He doesn’t use positive reinforcement. He uses anchors. Two different things. I’ve never seen him give someone a candy or some money when they did something he wanted to condition, that’s what positive reinforcement is. I’ll find a scene where he anchors and cover it in an episode but I don’t have one in my list yet.
@@SpideyHypnosis I meant the scenes where he needs to talk to someone close to the victim (either in their home or in the interrogation room) and from the first moment he takes their hand and hold it as he is saying to them: ‘I promise you that who ever killed your mother/father/husband/wife will be brought to justice and will go to jail!’ I said positive reinforcement because I saw a video on UA-cam where some interviewers did ‘behind the scenes’ video and talked to Body language expert Janine Driver and 2 other mentalists and asked them to explain some of the scenes how did Patrick Jane do some tricks on the show or how does he find out who the killer is in general throughout the series and this one mentalist mentioned P. Jane using positive reinforcement as the video was showing that clip.
ua-cam.com/video/_Ho05_Npzcg/v-deo.html here is the video where I found it. the name of the mentalist is Chris Cox but I didn't understand him well what he was saying about it. Can you clarify it in the future videos? By the way, the clip is ant the end of the video. And thank you for making these videos :))
I felt that he wanted someone to believe in him. He felt that he was a smart person and that people just couldn’t understand him. He “knew” he was the smartest man in the room but people didn’t recognise it. I’m fairly certain from the way he looked at Patrick, he felt the instinctive need to one up him. I haven’t seen this show in ages but I feel like he would’ve been good at reading other people.
Most of you’re reading is perfect! The only ones you miscalled are your first and last statements. 1) he doesn’t care for anyone to believe in him, as you said he feels superior, he doesn’t think anyone CAN keep up with him, he’s too smart 2) he wouldn’t necessarily be great at reading people but he’s probably very good at manipulating people.
Hi Spidey. I am glad that you didnt give the bill mentalism trick away, cause its such a beautifull routine, and its even more beautifull not knowing how its been done =)
I don't think I've seen the episode with the boy at all, or if I did, it was a long time ago. Judging by his attire, I would assume that he is in a mental institution and not a jail, but he seemed aware enough (considering the reference to alien conspiracies) to miss freedom. I would then hypothesize that one of his needs currently unmet is freedom. This is further supported by the noise machine playing beach noises placed directly underneath the poster of the beach-going girl. All of this is a simulation to aid in his escapism. Speaking of the poster, the shot of the girl makes me think back to his first (inappropriate) comments towards Lisbon. At first, I thought they were just designed to irritate her, but the presence of the image of an attractive woman on his wall where he can see it every day would suggest that his comments are also a manifestation of his sexual needs that are unmet. Back to the inappropriate things he says, he's antagonistic and derogating the misfortune of the victim they talk about which comes across as too strong to be genuine. I'd theorize he might be uncomfortable and trying to emotionally distance himself from the topic, but his body language is too relaxed to support that theory. The other theory is that he's trying to satisfy his need for control since he likely has none in the institution. This is potentially supported by the now-two cans of spaghetti and meatballs. The staff would of course feed him from the kitchen, but he's chosen on more than one occasion to eat a sub-optimal meal, suggesting he just wanted to be able to choose his meal even at a cost of quality. Or he could just like it. Or the kitchen food could be gross. Whichever it is, he obviously has a need to eat food other than what is provided. Edit: I also forgot to talk about him blowing up when Jane touched the noise machine. Definitely a sign that he needs to be in control which corroborates the theory that he's power-seeking, not emotionally distancing with his aggression.
Wow 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 What an excellent analysis! Some terrific observations and if you communicated with this person based on this reading you would do a lot better than most. I have one comment and one curve ball Comment: i would place what you identified as a need for control along with his need for freedom. Sort of like “freedom of choice” he has such few freedoms that he values the ones he does have, coming off as control. People who need control tend to be a lot more manipulative, he’s too careless. He wants to control his world but doesn’t care much for others. So to me that’s more about freedom Curveball: would it change anything in your analysis if I said that I believe his intelligence, sexual references, anti social behaviours and need for patterns puts him on the autism spectrum?
@@SpideyHypnosis I completely agree with your Comment and think I was subconsciously considering them as the same thing. But since I was writing my comment to be true to my train of thought, the idea of freedom and control was interrupted and split by the theory of unmet sexual needs because something caught my attention. As for the curve ball, if I were to consider him being autistic, I'd place less emphasis on the derogation of the victim for sure. Through that lense, what I thought was aggression comes across instead as disinterest. And as such, less attention would be given to be intentionally pro-social like many autistic people have to be. The inappropriately sexual comments still suggest sexual needs and the affected way he says it suggest that is still a power play though. The noise machine can also change from an emblem of freedom into a comfort object to reduce moments of overstimulation (although it's probably running double duty and being both in this case). Autistic people can also be picky eaters which would more than account for his preference for canned spaghetti and meatballs, especially if it was something he grew up eating at home. It becomes another security blanket. At first, I didn't think it would change much in my analysis, but after some thinking, it changed nearly everything 😅 Yet again, an edit to make: him getting angry at Jane touching the noise machine could also be him feeling threatened by someone touching one of his comfort objects. I wouldn't consider myself neurotypical but I'm not autistic and yet I still get agitated when someone messes with something I use to calm myself down.
@@taylorcorbridge1492 yep. I agree with all this which is exactly why the 4 needs I identified personally (and of course this is an opinion and up for debate) Are: Need for freedom/relaxation Need for significance Need for intelligence Need for consistency (although this can 100% be because he’s on the spectrum)
@@SpideyHypnosis oh I didn't even think about the need for intelligence since I wrapped the supporting behaviors up in a need for superiority and control. But the books and the (alluded to but mostly cut?) beliefs in hidden truths definitely supports that. I'm glad I got to get your direct feedback on all of this too.
@@taylorcorbridge1492 I also absolutely agree that he has a need for superiority but people who have both a need for significance and intelligence often do. We’re using different words for the same thing. In fact I hesitated between calling it significance or superiority but went with the academic word for it lol. These details and specific catégorisations dont change the fact that your read was dead on. It doesn’t matter if we title it right, it’s more important to identify the behaviour than the exact dictionary definition.
Amazing video Spidey!! I am thinking that he wants to go to the some sort of beach (mybe sand beach), get relaxed by beeing in the water, get a massage, drinking beer and hearing the sound of the sea, seagels… 😃 I have a quick question for you Spidey: Do you agree or disagree with Partick Jane’s quote: “There’s no such thing as psychics”.
Curious about this: I think the boy wants need to be out, preferably at sea. Seeing the beach poster and hearing the seagull sounds that Jane plays. Also he holds to certain patterns, seeing the spaghetti can on the desk and the can he's eating seems to me like, maybe not everyday, but it's something he needs to eat regularly to feel secured. Seems he wants to steer conversations, be in control, divert from certain subjects so he doesn't have to talk about 'em? With all the "random" things he's saying when he is asked certain things.
Hey Spidey I've always wanted to ask you this and I really hope you'd respond to my question. How do one pursue in career in mentalism? I mean I'm not aware of a degree or anything about it. So if someone's really interested to make this as a career, how could they achieve it? PS : I know its gonna take up a lot of practice as its not what you can learn overnight. I just want to know how to make it happen. I'm from India (if thats needed to know) Please answer to me i hope you will mate thanks already!
@@SpideyHypnosis oh I'm afraid i messed my words up my bad actually i wanted to know from where can we learn about all of it. Youre inspiration and i idolize you you know like maybe reaching at your level someday is a dream kinda thing. The little tricks and tips that you give are very helpful and I'm very grateful for that but i wanna know from where exactly i can learn all of it to help myself practice it more and more
I wouldn’t say that seeing someone use a mechanics grip always means that they are going to cheat, it just means that they know how to manipulate cards and could cheat. I have done some magic card tricks before and that’s the grip that I have used for them, but when I play casually without cheating, I still use that grip because that’s what I’m used to. Can I do a second card deal? Yeah (although, I’m not the best at it). I just don’t want everyone I play cards with to think I’m cheating lol
@@SpideyHypnosis I’m not a psychologist, but I think the reason I always hold cards like that is because when I first learned the magic tricks, I literally practiced holding the cards like that. I would take them out of my hand and put them back in with the style so it would be more natural when I did the tricks. I would do this while watching tv or something until I programmed my brain to always hold the cards like that.
I randomly started watching mentalist series... And finished it in around 3 months for starting it..And loved it similarly.. I randomly came across your channel and loved your videos... But I never thought I would be able to re visit that series through your Chanel and love both the series and your Chanel even more...😁 Thank you for this...
That couple... Im guessing the could have a sensor in the guy's shoe n he tells her. They made up a touch-and location based code language like dumb charades. That's why letters and numbers separate... Idk lol just speculating.
My cousin's husband worked in security at one of the casinos in LV. When my mom would visit he would show her the slots that were paying the most the week she would visit. He said the slots located at the ends of aisles usually were slots that pay well because they attracted attention. Then in my computer programming days my buddy started picking up work programming the early digital poker machines. He explained the three levels of random numbers used to simulate a shuffled deck of cards. I would imagine they are far more sophisticated these days.
I worked in on floor beverage delivery in a slots section. I started to see patterns where there werent supposed to be. I sorta knew which slots were gonna pay
You can still count cards at a casino, just not as accurately, plus as soon as the shoe heats up and you start betting larger, you’re gonna get a back off real quick from the pit boss. If you’re lucky, you’ll be even at the back off. You may catch a flat bet, but odds are they are gonna just not book your action anymore. It sucks, but they can legally do it.
Hey Spidey, I’m curious, do magicians/mentalists get an automatic back off the second you walk into a place? I have visions of panicked pit bosses hitting silent alarms to warn everyone.
Spidey be like:Grab my hand and i'll show you the greates magic and mentalism content not only show you but teach you. Thank you spidey for all your videos
There are card shuffling machines which keep shuffling the cards at blackjack tables at some casinos, so it keeps the cards circulating, and you can’t count them
@@SpideyHypnosis I’ve seen card counting systems that calculate the probability that a certain card will come up, but if instead of cards being discarded, they’re shuffled back into the deck, then there’s no way of reliably using that method to calculate the probability of the next card being high or low value. Idk a whole lot abt card counting tho, so there could be some that doesn’t apply to 🤷🏻♂️
I'm really LMAO cuz I always got called in to be the dealer and cheated like that forever. How did they not know??? Even scarier is that no one taught me how. I was just a kid. 🤣🤣
The person was eating canned food... So lonely life if you ask me... So that person's need was to get noticed and love and more when patric touched his belongings he stopped him furiously so that must be important to him which leads us to think that he was self centered... And thoughts are always exchangable for that matter...
Theoretically you can break a casino on games that give you odds close to 50% like Black Jack and using the red:black stacking algorithm on roulette. But in case of Black Jack you don’t have enough time in your life to achieve that. Because of the betting limits that casinos introduce. Basically they’ll win more in the same time because of all the other punters that you could win if you won every hand. In case of the roulette bet stacking you either need to have more wealth than George Soros and Elon Musk combined, logarithmic increments adds up really quickly. And also here betting limits work against you. The casino controls the rules and thus the environment so theoretically you could beat the casino but practically, not! And talking black Jack in many casinos the cards are continuously shuffled. After a hand is done the cards, are pushed in the table and added back to the continuous shuffling machine. So its totally random. There’s not an X amount of decks that are played through. So you can count high low all you want but its utterly useless.
Oh if you want to see a nice two “person” telepathy act, the YT my MindReading AI. I wrote a program in a day that does that with cards. The computer knows which card I or (a spectator) has chosen by me asking questions to it. And it’s all speech recognition and speech synthesis. A little grab back to my time as a professional mentalist and FX creator.
Great Video Sir, Please continue making this series about the show I am a huge fan of the show and wanted to learn the basic tricks to understand people and you are helping me by decoding this show. Thank you and as I wrote in the last video's comment section I will comment on every video of yours, as a reminder to make a video on the best books to read for mentalism and psychology. Love from India.
Hey spidey i am not really sure but i guess i can say he was a kinda of a person who like being and alpha in ebery conversation like being in control Also he would keep asking questions to the investigators trying to off throw them which i feel tells that hw know something Also i feel he is person who doesnt really like change or maybe he loves spagheti meat balls 😂 but also last thing idk if its right or wrong listening to the relaxing music at the end and poster maybe he really likes beaches and being on a beaxh relaxes him
Yep. All really great answers but remember it’s not what he likes it’s what he needs. He needs to feel superior, he needs consistency and he needs freedom and relaxation. And this can be used very easily to manipulate him
That was a very understanding and very interesting detailed analysis by you Mr.Spidy , Thank you 😃. About the spaghetti eating boy I would say his need is of an open environment like.... a beach. There is that recorder which haves sounds which are similar to the ones we can hear at a beach. Also he haves a poster of a beach. That was the most I could try to deduce after watching the clip for 3 times 😂 😬.
@@SpideyHypnosis Woah 😯 , in total 4 needs are alott to look at in such a small amount of time , I will try again and ......you're awesome Mr. Spidy. Thank you 😊.
Hi spidey. Love your work. Just a question. What basic mentalism or magic books would you recommend and where to get them?? I feel like I need more time away from screen. Thanks again
I would have to disagree a bit about people who are going to cheat. A lay person handling a deck like that yes, but I’m a professional card dealer and the way we’re taught to handle a deck of cards is actually to have our index finger covering the entire front of the cards as they’re pushed up at an angle. Btw I love this series!
@@SpideyHypnosis it always trips me out how interactive you are with your fans. It’s super cool, and I appreciate that as a viewer. And yeah most people aren’t pros totally agree with that. Also, you’ve stated this before but generally it’s never one thing that tells you what’s someone’s intentions are it’s a bunch of pieces that you have to put together to get a sense of what someone’s thinking or trying to deceive.
The prisoner feels confined. Basic needs are met, but the "Don't touch that!" trigger is the sound of seagulls. There is also the beach poster. Once the sound effect is turned off, the prisoner resumes his blase' facade. The beach in particular has a special meaning. One would assume this to be related to happy memories, and possibly to certain people from the past. The central factor is likely to be a need for intimate human connection. His blase' facade when the seagull sound is not playing suggests that he is downplaying this need. To be able to keep eating when informed that a former friend died violently would suggest that he would be in the sociopathy/psychopathy matrix. The crack in the facade with the seagull sound suggests that he is merely pretending to be unmoved, and thus hiding his true need. A certain intimate relationship from his past, involving freedom and/or a beach, is very likely his key motivation.
Wow great breakdown. We agree on a lot. Interesting how you went to psychopath with his lack of empathy I went to autistic. Super smart, anti social, comfortable in habit, complete lack of empathy; I felt he might be on the spectrum instead of psychopath ... not that the two are mutually exclusive. 100% agree with need for freedom and relaxation. I also feel he has a strong need for intelligence, he focused on the cleverness of the clown costume and was willing to work on a problem for free. I also identified a need for superiority and a need for consistency (which is a basic human need but pretty strong in this guy) One thing we highly disagree on is his need for human connection. I sincerely don’t think he cares to connect with anyone outside of sexual/sensual gratification. He doesn’t seem to care what people think of him.
@@SpideyHypnosis I'd yield on that point. I went there because I sensed that the lack of empathy was a facade, but that might just be the fact that the actor (who is hopefully neither a psychopath nor on the spectrum) was, in fact, using a facade (i.e. acting). Also on the consistency ... just to cover all bases ... is it possible that he sincerely does not care what he eats, and chooses the same thing in order to avoid wasting his time making choices? Or does that ever actually happen (the professor with only one color of shirt idea)?
Yeah it’s absolutely possible that he doesn’t actually enjoy the stuff but wether it’s because he enjoys it or because it was readily available, it became a routine that is important to him. It’s his little ritual. Good point about the acting. We’re reading intention not necessarily real needs.
Probably too long ago, but in chase speak I would say Significance and Power. But I am still trying to nail down the needs map. Power because of his need to control everything or being controlling. Significance just by elimination because he doesn't seem concerned with acceptance or approval. Like I said, I am still trying to nail down the ABR needs map in 6mx. Judging from the decorations I would guess at Novelty or deviance for decision Pattern, but I cant read what he is reading if the books are what I think they are, then I would think Deviance.
'it's funny, I hate casinos. Everything you listed is why I never go to casino's and never gamble. I hate it. the noise, lights, not straight aisles, gives me a headache.
Omg even in slow motion I couldn't tell that those were coming from the bottom. Your bottom deal is insane!😮 And since you finally admitted to having actual superpowers...I guess I don't even have to finish writing the rest of this out😇
Well, for can boy, I'd say the most important factor is control. Trying to direct the flow of the conversation from certain topics; belittling the victim shows a need for feeling superior to others. Not wanting others to touch his belongings or move things out of place is also part of control. I'm not sure if he's looking for validation, by trying to get the others to agree with him, but with the upturned slant of the head I think he is seeking admiration ("look up to me"). I think the need to escape his cage is just an extension of his need for control - he can't be in control of himself or others as a prisoner. However, once outside, I'd expect him to disappear into a similarly confined space because it would offer him a greater sense of safety and predictability.
Wow!!!!! Amazing read! Literally profiler level analysis here! Pining this!!!
And you’re absolutely right about admiration. He couldn’t care less if people agree, he’s too arrogant, he knows he’s right. The only slight thing I would add is although you’re absolutely right that he’s likely to go to somewhere he feels safe, he also has a need for decompression and relaxation.
But epic conclusions here
@@SpideyHypnosis Thank you! That's high praise, and I appreciate it.
I did notice the other comments about the sea noise CD, and the need to be at the beach. My thought is that he'd be like a rat or a snake, venturing outside to sun himself, but never far from his bolt hole if he had to retreat and feel safe.
@@SpideyHypnosis Pining (Present Participle) Suffer a mental and physical decline, especially because of a broken heart.
Ironic
@@SpideyHypnosis GOD DAMN! WOW! Genuinely loving your channel... I have been fascinated by psychology, mentalism and such for a very long time - I think this might actually come from my disdain for main stream religion and falling into alternatives LOL! So I also fell into "tarot Reading" and things like that... But I don't like the way that many use it to "Defraud people" - I prefer to be honest... They are just cards and people see what they want to see...
He didn't guarantee he'd win. He promised to pay her back triple. If he lost it all, he'd just have to pay her back out of his own pocket.
There was this one scene in the mentalist(100th episode I think), where Patrick Jane used made up cards that he made with scraps of paper to tell which of the suspects is the murderer. He set the made up cards on the table, and the killer took the "Death" card for himself in the scene.
I would love it if you could review this scene Spidey
Yes thats an amazing episode and i never figured out his trick
Yes. Would be great to have a deeper insight on this :)
Basically he gives them the cards knowing what there gonna take or just cards that relate to each person. Then just goes off there reactions to what card they got like a sigh of relief for getting a card that wasn't the killer one :)
@@Lucadawes hmm, this seems reasonable but its a bit bold
Luca Dawes I kwow the scene and jane explaines it also that way. But the key thing is, that he just spreads out the cards (not forcing by himself) and everyone takes one. And then, he switches an already shown card
I would say, the obvious one is his love for the beach and how that calms him. I guess you would call that his happy place. His need for control sticks out to me as well. He was friendly, but also wanted to take control of the conversation right off the bat, with the random comments about a massage. You could say that was a way of saying hes stressed, but honestly I think it was more of a way to off balance the other person and show his control over the conversation. He doesn't like change I would guess, from eating the same thing over and over again and needing the same sound machine to relax. The comment he made about the clown, and it being clever was interesting. Not exactly sure where to go with that, but once again I think it shows his enjoyment of controlling another person. Using something they fear was smart to him, which would control someones behavior and show dominance over them. Thats all i can really think of after 1 watch (I didn't want to re watch it, just go on memory after you asked.
This is a terrific read!!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Also he likes to engage with women (because of the poster of the woman and the comment about the massage to Lisbon, a woman).
@@SpideyHypnosis You are the best in the topics that I want to learn so that's why I wanna ask you if you can you suggest books on learning mentalism and physcometery and maybe on coldreading from absolute start.
Btw the episode was very insightful
I don't know any other person or where or good books on this topics so I am asking you.Thanks
AT LAST, you revealed that you have superpowers. We knew it. That explains A LOT. ;)
Hahaha
Spidey and his book recommendations 🔥
Said it before, will say it again, another great breakdown 😝
Mentalism + Card cheating techniques... this video would have been god tier if Spidey and Madison did a collab 😁😁.
Awesome video by the way.
Lol, I was going to say, I wonder what Madison thinks of this…his bottom deal just got a blow:P
Unfortunately, I am too big a fan of the show. I do like how Jane is subtly prodding him to see his reactions. Just wandering about and fiddling with things....and he does it in a lot of episodes. Usually not so much that it seems odd, but enough to unsettle someone. It's gatherig intel in a way most of us wouldn't think about. And Simon Baker does an excellent job of portraying that.
I completely agree. I forget it’s fiction at times with him lol
3 words. Thoughts are transferable.
Loooollll
Also known as inception
Yes through communication both visual and auditory.
No they dont.
There's one game at a casino where he can pretty much guarantee a return payout, and it plays into his strengths: the Poker Tables. There's nowhere near as many counter measures because it's not their money at risk. They just want to make sure everyone at the table is playing clean, including the dealer. Patrick Jane could fleece the other players left and right. As long as everyone is having fun and no one is chased out of the casino, they won't care.
Spidey, thanks to you my wife and I are binge watching The Mentalist!
Hahaha amazing 😊
I assumed in the casino scene, he was referring to a poker table, as that's the one game that isn't solely chance like craps and where his skills would be relevant.
I agree. After that amount of confidence the only thing that would have made sense is a poker table. He went to blackjack lol
Once again a awesome video. I really enjoy to hear these things explained through the eyes of a mentalist.
The clues i picked up from the scene are both the poster and the seagull sounds. It could give the conclusion that he eighter wants to be at a beach, or at least outside. The way he reacts in the conversation wasn't really open and the food looked simple to get.
My thoughts is that he wants to be in a place there not a lot of people pay attention to him.
(Watched it once)
Yep. He has a superiority complex and doesn’t require other people’s validation.
The “no windows” isn’t really true anymore. Was years ago, but these days no.
The green pyramids on the craps table is called the alligator.
Adding extra decks to BJ doesn’t make it harder to count, but your right about penetration. Also most casinos on the strip pay a blackjack 6:5 instead of the normal 3:2, giving the casino an extra 1.4% edge making card counting useless as it’s not enough advantage to overcome the edge. You need to go off strip to find good games in Vegas. Station properties..
Yeah I didn’t want to get into too much detail for the average viewer for counting. The rules of the table, the spread, the limit on splitting aces, soft 17 rules etc make a big difference. Also here in Canada in a lot of casino the cut card goes 40-50% in which is why I brought up the multiple decks thing.
@@SpideyHypnosis “here in Canada” for some reason I always though you were in Vegas. Where in Canada? I’m in Edmonton. 20 year casino veteran. (Hobby magic/mentalism). Been kicked out of a bunch of strip casinos for counting lol.
@@AnthonyScottGames ha! I’m in montreal 😃. Got asked by many casinos in the reserves to deal for them. Always refused. Did you finish the video? I showed my bottom deal at the end.
@@SpideyHypnosis ya your bottom deal is awesome! My seconds are decent, but still need some practice, DPS the same. My bottoms are terrible though lol. Takes a lot of practice.
@@AnthonyScottGames yeah it’s takes enormous practice to get it smooth but it’s more of a knack. I personally find bottom deals more useful than seconds.
Great video! If you don't know the subject is casino, you could think it's about Ikea stores, beside the free alcohol :) Giant maze, you always spend more than you want, they do all they can to make you spend money, they indicates directions but not the shortest :D Thanks for the book recommandation!
Hahahahahahha that’s such a good point. Frikin ikea.
The sterling silver case thing perplexed me a little. I mean it could be like you said about earpiece or something but that seems unlikely since that would've been like the early 80s. I thought maybe they used the technique of first letter of each word spelling out parts of it. They'd only need like ster- and sil- for him to know what it was and the dad did say things that seemed unnecessary for the setup (unlike the Evansons, so impressive!). But that didn't work either so I am curious if there was anything real in that scene which would've informed little Patrick. Even if they only picked one particular kind of item, which is a common technique, the sterling aspect gives away that there needs to be some form of communication exchanged between the two.
Very intresting video thanls Spidey ....I studied cheating at cards when I was still st school and wrote a project on it for my English exam which got me top marks. 😀....keep up the good work.
hey spidey how does it never gets old and gets better and better
He has his own ideas about things and seeks validation to some degree or maybe just confirmation of his position of intelligence. He has anxiety I think and seeks out things for relaxation and finds reassurance in routine. This may be part of his seeking to control the situation and desire for validation. I didn’t see what the book was but it probably something to either validate an idea or related to anxiety or control.
Great read!!!
Nothing the casino itself did, but I worked in surveillance and basically learned how to cheat. I’d watch for players who would raise and lower their bets based on the count of the cards out of the shoe. Watching dealers to make sure they cleared their hands, didn’t push the first card up out of the way (basically a second deal) out of the shoe. Watching the poker tables to see what the dealers were doing, watching players, etc. It was a small casino, so there weren’t many of us, but I did a couple of “classes” with the other people in surveillance to show them what to look for. I’m sure there’s plenty I didn’t pick up, but that’s just my small slice of casino life in the bowels of a casino.
Spydie, i actually can read your mind in a know the secret behind of the 2 person mind read tric 😝
Well, I just found out about 'The Mentalist' last week; and now I see this?! Spooky. 🤔
Edit: I'm pretty sure the Patrick Jane trick was the key-word principle. The amount of 'whats' for that lighter trick made me chuckle. (What = Sterling Silver) & perhaps (Do you know = Brass)
Yeah the dad was talking way too much 😆
I really enjoy these episodes 👏👍
The best channel to learn magic🙏❤
Amazing. I am reading up on cold reading as I write this little post. Great stuff Spidey as always.
Needs of the interviewee.
1 - security via personal order. This guy has a visceral need to be in a familiar, controlled environment. From his reaction to Patrick touching his sounds-of-the-beach generator, to his adherence to a diet of canned pasta (multiple repurposed cans in the room). Even his need to quickly pass snap judgments on others gives himself a sense of superiority and assurance and thus control.
2 - intelligence. This guy has no stock in his looks (little grooming), charm (shows attitude), sanity (no sign of insecurity about being in a mental ward) or physique. His entire self image is built upon intelligence; he bets all his social value upon having high intelligence. He doesn't appear to want new friends, and may default to a superiority complex, but he keeps trying to show off how smart he is, even to those he doesn't respect.
3 - the beach, which relaxes him. The noise generator and the poster kind of give it away.
... by the way, this guy is obviously an extreme introvert.
Wow! Amazing analysis. Did you just randomly do that or have you studied behavioural analysis?
@@SpideyHypnosis Random... but I took some psychology courses (up to 2nd year university; but I was a computer science major), and I'm a bit of an armchair psychologist wannabe.
Even as a kid, my dad (an accountant) kept teaching me the power of words and language, and suggestion.
@@tomdalsin5175 wow. Your analysis was profiler level good. Especially your ability to clump things together that most people would look at separately. Good job!
@@SpideyHypnosis Thank you! Must have been one of my good moments. If only I could use that for a lotto ticket...
You are correct however people make assumptions that card counting is illegal. And maybe in some casinos it is however in most gambling States card counting is just frowned upon not illegal. Pit bosses keep an eye out for common card counters and have the prerogative to blacklist or ban people.
I been playing cards my whole life. My friends and me spend tons of hours in the casino. My grandmother taught me at 4 years old and I never looked back. I also do magic as a hobby. That being said, I ALWAYS use a mechanics grip, as do all my friends and most of the people I play with. I and them never would think of cheating anyone. Therefore I feel that this claim is inaccurate. You could say that if someone is using a mechanic grip then you should pay more attention. However, I don't believe everyone using this grip is going to cheat.
Everyone who is going to cheat will use a mechanics grip. Doesn’t necessarily mean everyone using a mechanics grip is going to cheat. I said this will help you spot a cheater before they cheat and it will. I find it strange that you deal from mechanics even when you’re not going to cheat. Why? I don’t, ever, don’t know anyone who does.
Really enjoy The Mentalist analysis videos
1. I love this show. And 2. Keep doing this Bedros. Great videos
I think the guy has confidence, because he thinks that what he is saying is absolutely right. And he has habbits, like everything has to be in its place, and he likes peace, which is in the beach or the seaside for him
Need for relaxation/freedom, need for intelligence and need for consistency! Nailed it! You’re missing one small one but it’s very close to his need for intelligence
This is currently my favoseries in entire youtube
The things I got from watching the clip @5:00 I think what he need is
•freedom(move out to open air)
•he has felt irritated on talking
•not interested in Noah(the topic female was asking him)
•hate others to touch his objects
•loves nature probably beaches
•felt attracted to female
•intrested in eating
I hope this is correct but not pretty confident 😅
These are good observations but unless you can figure out what his NEEDS are you can’t do much with these details. What do you think a person like this needs
@@SpideyHypnosis 🤔🤔😕
Wow, I enjoyed this video so much!!!
Thanks 🤗
Spidy uses his psychology powers for good
In Germany and I guess the Netherlands, toofree alcohol in casinos is fotbidden. In the Netherlands sometimes they free non-alcoholic drinks and food. In Germany they even have entry fee.
Il be honest. I have watched this episode but... I dont remember it exactly idk what season what episode it is i think its before season 4 maybe late season 2 or early season 3 idk but tge last time that i ever watched the mentalist was like 5 months ago or smtng. My guess is that the guy wanted a vacation involving the beach or water of some sort cz he has the white noise mavhine on and its displaying the beach seagull sounds and also he has a pister up on his wall of a bikini model at the beach. Also if u noticed he is very insecure about patrick jane touching the white noise machine and usually when people do that it means that they try to hide it or its not their business at all or they urge and desire it which i think is true
Great video Spidey. I know psychometry is mostly trickery with a lot of presentation around it; but I was wondering if you had any thoughts about “real psychometry” I.e. what you can deduce about someone from a personal object such as hat, ring, or phone like Sherlock.
thanks! Glad you liked it 😊 I actually can do a lot with a phone. A persons phone tells you a lot! The damage of the phone, the case they chose (practical vs aesthetic) background pic. Most used apps. All very telling of a person. Can’t do much with items of clothing personally.
I always hit the like button before seeeing the video and i never regret. I love all about this serie, the breakdowns, explanations and how you always recommend a book. Absolutely amazing work. love your channel spidey :)
@SpideyHypnosis Can you do another analysis video on the scenes from The Mentalist? There’s something that he uses called positive reinforcement, and he does it in almost every episode. While I understand how positive reinforcement works with animals, I can’t quite understand it in the Mentalist. I don’t understand what is he trying to accomplish with it, what’s his point etc., but it seems really interesting 😃
He doesn’t use positive reinforcement. He uses anchors. Two different things. I’ve never seen him give someone a candy or some money when they did something he wanted to condition, that’s what positive reinforcement is. I’ll find a scene where he anchors and cover it in an episode but I don’t have one in my list yet.
@@SpideyHypnosis I meant the scenes where he needs to talk to someone close to the victim (either in their home or in the interrogation room) and from the first moment he takes their hand and hold it as he is saying to them: ‘I promise you that who ever killed your mother/father/husband/wife will be brought to justice and will go to jail!’ I said positive reinforcement because I saw a video on UA-cam where some interviewers did ‘behind the scenes’ video and talked to Body language expert Janine Driver and 2 other mentalists and asked them to explain some of the scenes how did Patrick Jane do some tricks on the show or how does he find out who the killer is in general throughout the series and this one mentalist mentioned P. Jane using positive reinforcement as the video was showing that clip.
ua-cam.com/video/_Ho05_Npzcg/v-deo.html here is the video where I found it. the name of the mentalist is Chris Cox but I didn't understand him well what he was saying about it. Can you clarify it in the future videos? By the way, the clip is ant the end of the video.
And thank you for making these videos :))
Oh. There’s treating the promise as a reward, uggghhhh I find that a little off to be honest. To me that’s an anchor not positive reinforcement
He needs to date a small town Pennsylvania homicide detective.
the money serial number trick is easy, he switched her bill with one of his before trying to read the serial
Can you make a tutorial video on how some magician correctly guess someone undergarments colour???? I literally freaking on this trick
I felt that he wanted someone to believe in him. He felt that he was a smart person and that people just couldn’t understand him. He “knew” he was the smartest man in the room but people didn’t recognise it. I’m fairly certain from the way he looked at Patrick, he felt the instinctive need to one up him.
I haven’t seen this show in ages but I feel like he would’ve been good at reading other people.
Most of you’re reading is perfect! The only ones you miscalled are your first and last statements. 1) he doesn’t care for anyone to believe in him, as you said he feels superior, he doesn’t think anyone CAN keep up with him, he’s too smart 2) he wouldn’t necessarily be great at reading people but he’s probably very good at manipulating people.
Great video👍
I’m just super impressed with that bad ass bottom deal! Wow! That was beautiful! 😁
Hahahah one of 3 card moves I’ve practiced until my fingers couldn’t move. 1000+ hours
Hey Spidey, hope you’re well 🤘🏻
Hi Spidey.
I am glad that you didnt give the bill mentalism trick away, cause its such a beautifull routine, and its even more beautifull not knowing how its been done =)
I always enjoy your videos sir!... I have dm'ed you regarding something about mentalism please respond if you have the time to do so thank you
Throwback to when he made a how to deal any poker hand video😂
I don't think I've seen the episode with the boy at all, or if I did, it was a long time ago. Judging by his attire, I would assume that he is in a mental institution and not a jail, but he seemed aware enough (considering the reference to alien conspiracies) to miss freedom. I would then hypothesize that one of his needs currently unmet is freedom. This is further supported by the noise machine playing beach noises placed directly underneath the poster of the beach-going girl. All of this is a simulation to aid in his escapism. Speaking of the poster, the shot of the girl makes me think back to his first (inappropriate) comments towards Lisbon. At first, I thought they were just designed to irritate her, but the presence of the image of an attractive woman on his wall where he can see it every day would suggest that his comments are also a manifestation of his sexual needs that are unmet. Back to the inappropriate things he says, he's antagonistic and derogating the misfortune of the victim they talk about which comes across as too strong to be genuine. I'd theorize he might be uncomfortable and trying to emotionally distance himself from the topic, but his body language is too relaxed to support that theory. The other theory is that he's trying to satisfy his need for control since he likely has none in the institution. This is potentially supported by the now-two cans of spaghetti and meatballs. The staff would of course feed him from the kitchen, but he's chosen on more than one occasion to eat a sub-optimal meal, suggesting he just wanted to be able to choose his meal even at a cost of quality. Or he could just like it. Or the kitchen food could be gross. Whichever it is, he obviously has a need to eat food other than what is provided.
Edit: I also forgot to talk about him blowing up when Jane touched the noise machine. Definitely a sign that he needs to be in control which corroborates the theory that he's power-seeking, not emotionally distancing with his aggression.
Wow 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 What an excellent analysis! Some terrific observations and if you communicated with this person based on this reading you would do a lot better than most. I have one comment and one curve ball
Comment: i would place what you identified as a need for control along with his need for freedom. Sort of like “freedom of choice” he has such few freedoms that he values the ones he does have, coming off as control. People who need control tend to be a lot more manipulative, he’s too careless. He wants to control his world but doesn’t care much for others. So to me that’s more about freedom
Curveball: would it change anything in your analysis if I said that I believe his intelligence, sexual references, anti social behaviours and need for patterns puts him on the autism spectrum?
@@SpideyHypnosis I completely agree with your Comment and think I was subconsciously considering them as the same thing. But since I was writing my comment to be true to my train of thought, the idea of freedom and control was interrupted and split by the theory of unmet sexual needs because something caught my attention.
As for the curve ball, if I were to consider him being autistic, I'd place less emphasis on the derogation of the victim for sure. Through that lense, what I thought was aggression comes across instead as disinterest. And as such, less attention would be given to be intentionally pro-social like many autistic people have to be. The inappropriately sexual comments still suggest sexual needs and the affected way he says it suggest that is still a power play though. The noise machine can also change from an emblem of freedom into a comfort object to reduce moments of overstimulation (although it's probably running double duty and being both in this case). Autistic people can also be picky eaters which would more than account for his preference for canned spaghetti and meatballs, especially if it was something he grew up eating at home. It becomes another security blanket. At first, I didn't think it would change much in my analysis, but after some thinking, it changed nearly everything 😅
Yet again, an edit to make: him getting angry at Jane touching the noise machine could also be him feeling threatened by someone touching one of his comfort objects. I wouldn't consider myself neurotypical but I'm not autistic and yet I still get agitated when someone messes with something I use to calm myself down.
@@taylorcorbridge1492 yep. I agree with all this which is exactly why the 4 needs I identified personally (and of course this is an opinion and up for debate) Are:
Need for freedom/relaxation
Need for significance
Need for intelligence
Need for consistency (although this can 100% be because he’s on the spectrum)
@@SpideyHypnosis oh I didn't even think about the need for intelligence since I wrapped the supporting behaviors up in a need for superiority and control. But the books and the (alluded to but mostly cut?) beliefs in hidden truths definitely supports that. I'm glad I got to get your direct feedback on all of this too.
@@taylorcorbridge1492 I also absolutely agree that he has a need for superiority but people who have both a need for significance and intelligence often do. We’re using different words for the same thing. In fact I hesitated between calling it significance or superiority but went with the academic word for it lol. These details and specific catégorisations dont change the fact that your read was dead on. It doesn’t matter if we title it right, it’s more important to identify the behaviour than the exact dictionary definition.
I'm like you I only use my powers for good! ✨☀
Liked just for the shirt!
I need you to teach me some poker reading skills
Amazing video Spidey!! I am thinking that he wants to go to the some sort of beach (mybe sand beach), get relaxed by beeing in the water, get a massage, drinking beer and hearing the sound of the sea, seagels… 😃 I have a quick question for you Spidey: Do you agree or disagree with Partick Jane’s quote: “There’s no such thing as psychics”.
100% agree!
Those are all good observations but what do they all point to?
@@SpideyHypnosis they all point to that he wants to be free of his cage… I am guessing 😂 Thanks for the anwser 😃
@@martinmocilnik9968 freedom, relaxation and control! Yes sir!
Is the secret some kind of code words for each number
Heck! When you’re a card magician so you want to cheat but they’re a mentalist so they know you’re going to cheat
Good one!😂😂
You pretty much taught a psychology class❤️ to you spidey❤️ great job 👏🏻
Curious about this:
I think the boy wants need to be out, preferably at sea. Seeing the beach poster and hearing the seagull sounds that Jane plays.
Also he holds to certain patterns, seeing the spaghetti can on the desk and the can he's eating seems to me like, maybe not everyday, but it's something he needs to eat regularly to feel secured.
Seems he wants to steer conversations, be in control, divert from certain subjects so he doesn't have to talk about 'em? With all the "random" things he's saying when he is asked certain things.
Great read!
Hey Spidey I've always wanted to ask you this and I really hope you'd respond to my question. How do one pursue in career in mentalism? I mean I'm not aware of a degree or anything about it. So if someone's really interested to make this as a career, how could they achieve it?
PS : I know its gonna take up a lot of practice as its not what you can learn overnight. I just want to know how to make it happen. I'm from India (if thats needed to know)

The little tricks and tips that you give are very helpful and I'm very grateful for that but i wanna know from where exactly i can learn all of it to help myself practice it more and more
@@saulgoodman997 books, videos, lectures, UA-cam etc
I wouldn’t say that seeing someone use a mechanics grip always means that they are going to cheat, it just means that they know how to manipulate cards and could cheat. I have done some magic card tricks before and that’s the grip that I have used for them, but when I play casually without cheating, I still use that grip because that’s what I’m used to. Can I do a second card deal? Yeah (although, I’m not the best at it). I just don’t want everyone I play cards with to think I’m cheating lol
Fair. I don’t use mechanics unless I’m going to cheat lol. It hurts
@@SpideyHypnosis I’m not a psychologist, but I think the reason I always hold cards like that is because when I first learned the magic tricks, I literally practiced holding the cards like that. I would take them out of my hand and put them back in with the style so it would be more natural when I did the tricks. I would do this while watching tv or something until I programmed my brain to always hold the cards like that.
@@SpideyHypnosis I also only put my index finger in front which is probably way more comfortable than two fingers in front.
My guess is he wants freedom, the clues are too obvious to be real, a photo of a beach, beach sounds etc.
Of course it’s obvious when you go for the obvious one. He has 3 other basic needs than freedom. Not so obvious after all I guess 🤔
I randomly started watching mentalist series... And finished it in around 3 months for starting it..And loved it similarly.. I randomly came across your channel and loved your videos...

Idk lol just speculating.
My cousin's husband worked in security at one of the casinos in LV. When my mom would visit he would show her the slots that were paying the most the week she would visit. He said the slots located at the ends of aisles usually were slots that pay well because they attracted attention. Then in my computer programming days my buddy started picking up work programming the early digital poker machines. He explained the three levels of random numbers used to simulate a shuffled deck of cards. I would imagine they are far more sophisticated these days.
Interesting to read about that Thanks for sharing with us all
I worked in on floor beverage delivery in a slots section. I started to see patterns where there werent supposed to be. I sorta knew which slots were gonna pay
You can still count cards at a casino, just not as accurately, plus as soon as the shoe heats up and you start betting larger, you’re gonna get a back off real quick from the pit boss. If you’re lucky, you’ll be even at the back off. You may catch a flat bet, but odds are they are gonna just not book your action anymore. It sucks, but they can legally do it.
Hey Spidey, I’m curious, do magicians/mentalists get an automatic back off the second you walk into a place? I have visions of panicked pit bosses hitting silent alarms to warn everyone.
Spidey be like:Grab my hand and i'll show you the greates magic and mentalism content not only show you but teach you.
Thank you spidey for all your videos
There are card shuffling machines which keep shuffling the cards at blackjack tables at some casinos, so it keeps the cards circulating, and you can’t count them
Shuffling has nothing to do with counting but yeah those machines make sure the dealer has very little to do with the shuffle
@@SpideyHypnosis I’ve seen card counting systems that calculate the probability that a certain card will come up, but if instead of cards being discarded, they’re shuffled back into the deck, then there’s no way of reliably using that method to calculate the probability of the next card being high or low value. Idk a whole lot abt card counting tho, so there could be some that doesn’t apply to 🤷🏻♂️
@@loreleimonn3220 exactly but wether the cards are shuffled by hand or machine, it doesn’t make a difference
@@SpideyHypnosis Yeah, that’s truw
Hi I'm a student in Africa doing my masters behaviour studies and would like to ask you questions. Im a big fan of your skills
Thanks 😊 you can ask me right here in your comment reply
Love this man keep it up
I'm really LMAO cuz I always got called in to be the dealer and cheated like that forever. How did they not know??? Even scarier is that no one taught me how. I was just a kid. 🤣🤣
I was going to sum him up with just narcissist, its more important to him he proves his control to himself than anything else
Yeah. Great summary. Feeding his ego justifies most of his needs
The person was eating canned food... So lonely life if you ask me... So that person's need was to get noticed and love and more when patric touched his belongings he stopped him furiously so that must be important to him which leads us to think that he was self centered... And thoughts are always exchangable for that matter...
Theoretically you can break a casino on games that give you odds close to 50% like Black Jack and using the red:black stacking algorithm on roulette.
But in case of Black Jack you don’t have enough time in your life to achieve that. Because of the betting limits that casinos introduce. Basically they’ll win more in the same time because of all the other punters that you could win if you won every hand.
In case of the roulette bet stacking you either need to have more wealth than George Soros and Elon Musk combined, logarithmic increments adds up really quickly. And also here betting limits work against you.
The casino controls the rules and thus the environment so theoretically you could beat the casino but practically, not!
And talking black Jack in many casinos the cards are continuously shuffled. After a hand is done the cards, are pushed in the table and added back to the continuous shuffling machine. So its totally random. There’s not an X amount of decks that are played through. So you can count high low all you want but its utterly useless.
Oh if you want to see a nice two “person” telepathy act, the YT my MindReading AI. I wrote a program in a day that does that with cards. The computer knows which card I or (a spectator) has chosen by me asking questions to it. And it’s all speech recognition and speech synthesis.
A little grab back to my time as a professional mentalist and FX creator.
Great Video Sir, Please continue making this series about the show I am a huge fan of the show and wanted to learn the basic tricks to understand people and you are helping me by decoding this show. Thank you and as I wrote in the last video's comment section I will comment on every video of yours, as a reminder to make a video on the best books to read for mentalism and psychology. Love from India.
For one thing he didn't seem to care about the person they were talking about , he was very arrogant and probably wanted moe cnotrol over hs situation
Hey spidey i am not really sure but i guess i can say he was a kinda of a person who like being and alpha in ebery conversation like being in control
Also he would keep asking questions to the investigators trying to off throw them which i feel tells that hw know something
Also i feel he is person who doesnt really like change or maybe he loves spagheti meat balls 😂 but also last thing idk if its right or wrong listening to the relaxing music at the end and poster maybe he really likes beaches and being on a beaxh relaxes him
Yep. All really great answers but remember it’s not what he likes it’s what he needs. He needs to feel superior, he needs consistency and he needs freedom and relaxation. And this can be used very easily to manipulate him
@@SpideyHypnosis thanks man will keep in mind
That was a very understanding and very interesting detailed analysis by you Mr.Spidy , Thank you 😃.
About the spaghetti eating boy I would say his need is of an open environment like.... a beach. There is that recorder which haves sounds which are similar to the ones we can hear at a beach. Also he haves a poster of a beach. That was the most I could try to deduce after watching the clip for 3 times 😂 😬.
Yep he has a need for freedom/relaxation. He also has 3 more needs 😊 (that I counted)
@@SpideyHypnosis Woah 😯 , in total 4 needs are alott to look at in such a small amount of time , I will try again and ......you're awesome Mr. Spidy. Thank you 😊.
Hi spidey. Love your work. Just a question. What basic mentalism or magic books would you recommend and where to get them?? I feel like I need more time away from screen. Thanks again
I have a whole video on my favorite mentalism books on the channel 😊
ua-cam.com/video/q3q_KlaOzdw/v-deo.html
@@SpideyHypnosis thanks 😊 i will look it up
But but but!!!!! How'd she's get the numbers on the 20$ bill???
Hahahah she’s the best
Counting cards isn't cheating
I would have to disagree a bit about people who are going to cheat. A lay person handling a deck like that yes, but I’m a professional card dealer and the way we’re taught to handle a deck of cards is actually to have our index finger covering the entire front of the cards as they’re pushed up at an angle. Btw I love this series!
Yeah. Most pros might use mechanics cheating or not. But most people aren’t pros
@@SpideyHypnosis it always trips me out how interactive you are with your fans. It’s super cool, and I appreciate that as a viewer. And yeah most people aren’t pros totally agree with that. Also, you’ve stated this before but generally it’s never one thing that tells you what’s someone’s intentions are it’s a bunch of pieces that you have to put together to get a sense of what someone’s thinking or trying to deceive.
Consistency, he probably struggles with anxiety. He also has a need to feel intelligent and those people need to be validated.
The prisoner feels confined. Basic needs are met, but the "Don't touch that!" trigger is the sound of seagulls. There is also the beach poster. Once the sound effect is turned off, the prisoner resumes his blase' facade. The beach in particular has a special meaning. One would assume this to be related to happy memories, and possibly to certain people from the past. The central factor is likely to be a need for intimate human connection. His blase' facade when the seagull sound is not playing suggests that he is downplaying this need.
To be able to keep eating when informed that a former friend died violently would suggest that he would be in the sociopathy/psychopathy matrix. The crack in the facade with the seagull sound suggests that he is merely pretending to be unmoved, and thus hiding his true need. A certain intimate relationship from his past, involving freedom and/or a beach, is very likely his key motivation.
Wow great breakdown. We agree on a lot. Interesting how you went to psychopath with his lack of empathy I went to autistic. Super smart, anti social, comfortable in habit, complete lack of empathy; I felt he might be on the spectrum instead of psychopath ... not that the two are mutually exclusive.
100% agree with need for freedom and relaxation. I also feel he has a strong need for intelligence, he focused on the cleverness of the clown costume and was willing to work on a problem for free. I also identified a need for superiority and a need for consistency (which is a basic human need but pretty strong in this guy)
One thing we highly disagree on is his need for human connection. I sincerely don’t think he cares to connect with anyone outside of sexual/sensual gratification. He doesn’t seem to care what people think of him.
@@SpideyHypnosis I'd yield on that point. I went there because I sensed that the lack of empathy was a facade, but that might just be the fact that the actor (who is hopefully neither a psychopath nor on the spectrum) was, in fact, using a facade (i.e. acting).
Also on the consistency ... just to cover all bases ... is it possible that he sincerely does not care what he eats, and chooses the same thing in order to avoid wasting his time making choices? Or does that ever actually happen (the professor with only one color of shirt idea)?
Yeah it’s absolutely possible that he doesn’t actually enjoy the stuff but wether it’s because he enjoys it or because it was readily available, it became a routine that is important to him. It’s his little ritual.
Good point about the acting. We’re reading intention not necessarily real needs.
My guess is your friend can only do the serial number trick once per performance.
No. She can do it an endless amount of times. Don’t try to guess... trust me
Very good bottom deal! Bravo!
Great video. Look forward to all these mentalist breakdowns
I don’t know for sure but my guess is that he wants some sort of recognition that he’s superior (intellectually or otherwise) to this guy Noah.
Probably too long ago, but in chase speak I would say Significance and Power. But I am still trying to nail down the needs map. Power because of his need to control everything or being controlling. Significance just by elimination because he doesn't seem concerned with acceptance or approval. Like I said, I am still trying to nail down the ABR needs map in 6mx. Judging from the decorations I would guess at Novelty or deviance for decision Pattern, but I cant read what he is reading if the books are what I think they are, then I would think Deviance.
'it's funny, I hate casinos. Everything you listed is why I never go to casino's and never gamble. I hate it. the noise, lights, not straight aisles, gives me a headache.
Spidey how do u do all this it is AMAZING
Studies. Lots of studies lol
Definitely have to remember the card deal cheat. I play cards with some buddies and one seems to have more "luck" than others.
😉
Maybe his luck has to do with mechanics grip lol
Hey Spidey, there is just one word for you, AMAZING. Nice video
Omg even in slow motion I couldn't tell that those were coming from the bottom. Your bottom deal is insane!😮 And since you finally admitted to having actual superpowers...I guess I don't even have to finish writing the rest of this out😇
😅😅
This is best explaination for mentalist serious . Please keep making this . I love it 😍 .
Just wanted to say that your bottom deal is pretty sick!
Thanks. It has THOUSANDS of hours of practice behind it
