Ashes on the arm Revealedīefore starting the trick, the Mentalist draws their prediction on their arm with colorless lip balm. They then burn the wrong card and rub the ashes on their arm, and voila, the image of your card appears on their arm. The deck is shuffled again and the Mentalist chooses a card for you, which is always wrong. You are then asked to choose a card, look at it and commit to memory and put it back. Next, you are shown the deck of cards being shuffled. In this Mentalism trick, the magician first writes down the identity of the exact card you will choose.

In the process, they are drawing what they want in the air to subconsciously guide you in doing what they want. Next, they ask you to draw two shapes with one inside the other. Knowing this, the magician will put it do first as their prediction. The most likely shapes to be drawn in such a situation is the triangle inside a circle. The answer will probably be the shape of a triangle inside that of a circle. After you are done, they then give you their prediction to compare with yours. Next, they will ask you to draw two shapes, with one being inside the other. Here, the Mentalist first draws their prediction and keeps it. This has to be one of the most effective and oldest among all the other mentalism tricks out there. And that how the magician guesses your answer.

The math is set in such a way that for whichever number you choose to start with, you will always arrive at the same answer as with the next number. The whole calculation done is just a confusion.
