00:00Do they have no punk?
00:12I've got one question for you.
00:15Are you ready?
00:18No, no, no, no. Ace of spades. I'll ask you a question.
00:21Are you ready?
00:27Put your hands like this.
00:30Now do this. Now do this.
00:33Ah, thank you. It makes me feel good.
00:35Can everyone hear me okay?
00:37Very good. All right. But seriously, put your hands like this.
00:43Put your thumbs down like this.
00:45Cross your left over your right like so.
00:49Interlock your fingers with your thumbs facing down.
00:52Yeah, make sure that your thumbs are facing down. Good.
00:54And on three, copy me. One, two, three.
00:59Now go like this.
01:05Hands up if you believe in psychics.
01:09Oh, wow. About 60% of the audience.
01:12Hands up if you believe in deja vu.
01:19Hands up if you believe in deja vu.
01:23That's all right.
01:25Hands up if you believe in mind reading.
01:32Now inside your head if you believe in telepathy.
01:36Scream inside my head.
01:38Shit.
01:38I was loud.
01:40Put my hand up if you believe in telekinesis.
01:47Put your hands up if you think mentalism is fake.
01:52I've been faking this shit for 26 years and haven't been caught yet.
01:55So how tonight works is I'm looking for one victim, I mean volunteer, to come up on this very stage.
02:04So can I just get one volunteer for a little experiment, please?
02:09Come on down!
02:16Hello, what is your name?
02:18Anna.
02:18Nice to meet you, Anna.
02:19Please be careful of the wire right there.
02:21We've never met before, right?
02:22No.
02:22Everyone can hear us okay?
02:24Lovely.
02:24This is Anna.
02:25I'm Hypnopunk.
02:26Hi.
02:26I wasn't sure.
02:28Do you believe in mind reading?
02:29I do.
02:30Do you believe in psychics?
02:31I do.
02:32I believe it's all bullshit and I'm using techniques to get there tonight.
02:35But you will think that I'm reading her mind.
02:38But I honestly possess no psychic ability whatsoever.
02:42You up for something?
02:43I want you, put your hands by your side.
02:45If I touch you by your shoulder and stuff.
02:47Sure.
02:47Beautiful, all right.
02:48I want you to think of somebody that's meaningful in your life.
02:52Think of their name.
02:54Somebody that there's no way.
02:55Like if it's your mum, don't think of mum.
02:57But you could think of the name or if it's a partner or a child.
03:02But someone there's no way that I could get.
03:04Do you have someone?
03:05I do.
03:06Do you want to change that person?
03:09That's so funny.
03:11That's right.
03:11It's already started.
03:12It started.
03:13If you want to change, you can change.
03:15I don't want to change.
03:15You want to stick.
03:16All right.
03:16So there's no way that I could know.
03:18All right.
03:19So we're going to do a little experiment because I want to keep you honest.
03:22All right.
03:22So what I want you to do is in my little notes app.
03:27I'm going to go back there so I can't see you.
03:29I'm going to turn my back.
03:30Everyone keep an eye on her.
03:31Make sure she doesn't cheat.
03:33I want you to put the name of that person.
03:36And then when you're done, press done.
03:38And then I'm going to get you to hold onto my phone so I can't see it.
03:41Make sense?
03:42Yep.
03:42So you get the task?
03:44I got to write down my name.
03:45Write the name, press done.
03:46And then just tell me when you're done.
03:48But don't start until I've turned my back to you.
03:50All right.
03:50You got it?
03:51I can trust you with this phone, right?
03:52Yep.
03:52You're not clumsy?
03:53No.
03:53All right.
03:54Grab the phone.
03:55All right.
03:55Take your time.
03:56Think of the person that you're thinking.
03:58And just let me know when you're done.
04:04Can I press done?
04:05Are you done?
04:06Yes.
04:06Okay.
04:07Yeah.
04:07Press done when you're done.
04:09And you press done?
04:11Lovely.
04:12Okay.
04:12Can I turn around?
04:13Yeah.
04:13Lovely.
04:14With my phone now, you can put my phone in your back pocket for now so I don't see my
04:19phone.
04:19All right?
04:20But make sure you give it back.
04:21All right.
04:22So just face me.
04:24Hands by your side.
04:25I'm going to say a bunch of shit right now.
04:27Your job is, have you ever played poker before?
04:30Yes.
04:31Poker face.
04:32Give absolutely nothing away.
04:34I'm going to ask you a bunch of things.
04:35Give nothing away.
04:37Poker face.
04:38And when I make my prediction, I'll make it nice and clear.
04:41Does that make sense?
04:42Yes.
04:43All right.
04:43So I want you to want me to get this right.
04:47Will me to get this right.
04:48But give absolutely nothing away.
04:50You're quite a visual person, aren't you?
04:53You see things quite colourful in your head.
04:55So imagine between you and I right now, there's an IMAX screen or there's the sphere in Las
05:00Vegas, right?
05:01So it's like a hundred feet wide and it's wrapped around you by a hundred foot wide.
05:06See the person's name written on it.
05:08Give nothing away.
05:09Very good.
05:11Say nothing.
05:13Is the person male?
05:15Is the person female?
05:16It's male.
05:17Okay.
05:17Give nothing away.
05:18Don't answer.
05:18It's male.
05:19The person's male.
05:20How many letters are in the name?
05:22Give absolutely nothing away.
05:25One.
05:26Two.
05:27Three.
05:28Four.
05:30Five.
05:31Six.
05:32Three.
05:33Four.
05:34Three letters in the name.
05:35Give absolutely nothing away.
05:38I'm going to go for a few letters.
05:40Give nothing away.
05:41Is there...
05:43A.
05:44E.
05:46I.
05:47Oh, there's an A.
05:48But it...
05:49Does it start with an A?
05:50Are you right or left handed?
05:52Put your left hand right here.
05:54Touch my hand.
05:56Is the A at the beginning?
05:57No.
05:57Is it in the middle?
05:58Possibly.
05:59Is it the end?
05:59No.
06:00There's an A in the middle.
06:01Give absolutely nothing away.
06:02This person means something to you, right?
06:05Deeply.
06:07Okay.
06:07Three letters.
06:08It's a mouth.
06:09There's an A in the middle.
06:10In your head?
06:12Scream it.
06:12Say nothing out loud.
06:14Scream it.
06:14Even louder.
06:15Volume 7 in your head.
06:17Scream it in my head at 10.
06:18Like really, really, really loud.
06:23Now, who's Max?
06:25Wow.
06:26Was it Max?
06:27It was.
06:27Beautiful.
06:28Give her a round of applause.
06:37I don't know if this is gonna work.
06:39This is truthful right now.
06:40This might fuck up.
06:41So you might be ready to see a big fuck up right now.
06:45Would it surprise you that tonight, before I came out, I made a note?
06:50I made a note that you would say Max.
06:53Would that surprise you?
06:54And I wrote it down at home.
06:56At home, there's the name Max.
06:57Would that surprise you?
06:59I wrote down Max.
07:00No one believes me, right?
07:02Yeah.
07:02But I just so happened to have bought that in my wallet that's sealed.
07:10It's sealed, right?
07:16Could you read that, please?
07:19You will say Max.
07:23Thank you so much.
07:28That was great.
07:29You keep that.
07:30Guys, if you have enjoyed tonight, I've been Hypnopunk.
07:34If you haven't enjoyed tonight, I've been The Great Ravine.
07:38And just remember, mentalism is real but reality is just an illusion.
07:49I love you and I love you and I love you!
