Here is a free mentalism trick which has been around a long time and is easy to perform. While it is a common trick (they recently did it on the new TV show, "The Mentalist"), it still can fool many people and it looks really cool regardless. It can be practiced for a few minutes beforehand in order to learn it well. All that this free mentalism trick requires, is some table space and a twisted up piece of napkin or paper towel.
First rip off a piece of paper napkin and twist it into a long, thin strand. Then lay it on a table or bar counter. Tell your friends that you are going to mentally move the twisted up strand, without ever actually touching it.
Next, inform your audience you need to create energy in the table or counter in order for it to move. This, along with your mental focus on the napkin strand, will cause it to move across the table.
Begin rubbing the table right around where the twisted strand is. Massage the table in small circles. Make sure to do it right around the strand. You are essentially drawing everyone's attention to the strand by doing this. Everyone will now be focused heavily on the strand.
Then proclaim you are ready to begin. Take some deep breaths or make sounds with your mouth that you are inhaling heavily. At the same time circle your hands in the air all around the strand, maintaining the people's attention on it.
Then suddenly stop your hands, and as the strand moves, follow it with your hands as if the energy coming from your finger tips is what is moving the strand across the table.
So how does this twisted up napkin strand move?
By simply letting out a small stream of air from your mouth! By lightly blowing on it, the strand moves across the table while your hands are right above it as if they are guiding it.
The key to this free mentalism trick is mentally controlling your audience in two ways: Having them focus all their attention on the strand, and fooling their audible senses with your deep breathing noises.
By focusing on the strand, they create a wall which blocks out their vision and attention from outside that space, hence you can get away with the blowing, visually. By making the deep breaths they are audibly programmed to accept these sounds beforehand, so that when you do blow, whatever slight blowing sound you do make, it will not sound out of the ordinary to them.
