This TED Talks Daily episode features mentalist Oz Pearlman, who clarifies that he reads people, not minds, a skill he honed over three decades. He engages the audience in a demonstration, guessing facts about audience members based on their reactions and body language, such as identifying a person they imagined having dinner with. Pearlman then explains how the principles of mentalism can be applied to everyday life, specifically remembering names using the "listen, repeat, reply" method. He concludes with another demonstration, successfully guessing a celebrity thought of by an audience member, and emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself to achieve success.
