Mentalism is a discipline or tradition that has existed for thousands of years and mentalists are the people who practice and master it. Mentalists can be clairvoyants, psychics and magicians, who have all perfected their proficiency by observing and learning human behaviour and duplicating the observed behaviour back to those of whom they had observed. Mentalism can include mind reading, illusions, hypnotism, street magic, card tricks, etc., hence Mentalism is a performing art in which its masters, present accurate, bona fide intuitive or mental skills. Performances or acts can include the use of telepathy, divination, clairvoyance, hypnosis, psychokinesis, mediumship, precognition, mind control, and memory demonstrations. Because of the type of capabilities that are demonstrated, mentalists are sometimes considered psychic entertainers.

The event started at 4 pm with the introduction of Mr Sravan. Followed by a little talk with the participants. He then talked about the wonderful and amazing things about mentalism and its impact on his life. He then showed us some magic tricks involving the audience, like clairvoyance, mind reading, card tricks, predictions. He advised people who were interested in mentalism careers. He interacted with the participants asking them about their experiences with the event topic. He was very much interested and willing to talk with us and clear our doubts about mentalism. He indeed expanded our knowledge and our perceptiveness about the fabulous things a human mind can do. It was a very good interactive session for us. Even if it was an online session there was no problem with facial communication because everyone had their camera on for the entire session. Most of the session involved interaction between the participants where everyone asked their questions and had them cleared. 

It was a short but very good session and we all enjoyed it very much, thanks to Mr. Sravan who was an excellent host. The session ended with a vote of thanks by Ms Shifa Shafi.
