Mind Control Scam

Thursday, September 25th, 2008 – running time 07:19
A brand new illusion that will trick your friends into believing in MIND CONTROL.

Hey Gang,

Brian Brushwood here, and for the last 3 months, I've been working on something big: a brand new illusion that will trick your friends into believing in MIND CONTROL. Simply by reciting some lines of poetry, you'll cause a playing card to come into their mind...and then you'll point them to a YouTube clip that proves that their selection was predetermined.

This scam is unbelievably versatile: you can perform it in person, over the phone, and it's the ONLY trick I know of that can be performed over instant messenger. You can even do it with a borrowed iPhone: as long as your mark can get to YouTube, you can do this trick.

We've been secretly testing this effect for 3 months, and the responses have been unbelievable. Check out the effect in this week's episode of "Scam School", then check out the method explanation and cheat sheets we've posted at mindcontrolscam.com.

...and start scamming your friends. If you hit a home run, I want you to post a transcript of your IM chat session at the Scam School boards. We're also discussing our different tricks and techniques when performing this scam, and would love to hear what works best for you.

Special thanks to Stephanie Mack, Ryan Daume, and Glenn McElhose for being the guinea pigs in this episode!

This is one scam that will definitely go down as one of the best. I've had a good amount of success with this.

The one thing you've got to be careful of is to make sure that when you tell your mark that they have to search for "Professor Alfred Singleton" that they don't just search "Alfred Singleton". I had one person do that. She said, "It'll show up in the list." I took the iPhone back and told her there may be other Alfred Singletons and that I'd find the right one.

Oh, and that "Dramacon 3 Launch Party" video in the related videos in the YouTube search results during the episode? Mine. :) Totally unrelated, but an attempt to keep the other mind control videos from showing up as related videos and ruining the trick.
