Say The Word is the perfect way to impromtu read anyone's mind. No writing the word down, no center tears. Simply ask them to think of any word or object, leave the room, and when you come back you know exactly what they were thinking.
I've always been in search for the perfect mentalism trick. This method will spark your imagination, and have you coming up with new original ideas for your existing routines.
You don't need any magic-specific gimmicks, only a smartphone. As well as a simple device most smartphone users already own and carry with them everyday.
This can work on individuals, and groups of people. Less ideal in loud scenarios, or on the side of the street performances. But with a little imagination it can work in any scenario.
As far as i know this is a 100% original take on how to read someone's mind, and i hope you get as much joy out of it as i do.
