THE WHAT?:

Often known as telepathy or mind reading, the mind reader is a skilled performer who appears to read minds. Scott Xavier continues this legacy by presenting real life examples of thought transference.

Using ZERO props, Scott will stand in front of the audience and start picking thoughts from the air. Names,d ates, addresses, and even questions will be revealed in a charming and sometimes humorous manner.

Not quite psychic and definitely not magic, Scott uses scientific training and intuition to render thoughts visible.

"When I meet someone, I can tell all about them! It's a more empathic gift rather then mind transfer. I can sense the problems and issues that are on someone's mind. It's almost as if I can forensically profile someone and sense what they are thinking by taking on their character!It's similar to the Sherlock Holmes effect!"

The minds of the world are open books if you know how to read them.

There exist natural sciences that allow you to read a mind. You may have heard of the master card shark who can detect the poker tells of his adversaries by reading their body language. This is in essence what I perform. Mixing body language detection along with applied psychological techniques I can detect what is on the mind of my audiences.

Using other subtle psychological techniques such as self hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming I can focus a persons mind so that they come to a certain predetermined set course of action. It is like a seeing eye dog guiding the visually impaired down a set course.

There also is a paranormal factor that comes into play. At some point you realize that you can glimpse information that you shouldn't. You can see inside of someone's head. It isn't something that can be taught but rather is a skill of the mind reader that comes in time.

"I can remember sitting for hours as I worked at the crime lab learning human psychology, profiling, and how to beat a polygraph (lie detector) machine. This all taught me to observe the universe around us and those with whom we interact. I learned what makes us lie and how to detect the lies. From there it was an easy task of learning the secrets of how people think! Lieing is the most complex of our behaviors."

WHAT CAN BE MIND READ?:

DRAWING DUPLICATION - A routine that was made popular by other paranormalists, such as Uri Geller, for it's simplicity and power, a spectator and my self stand back to back and draw random objects when they are shown face to face, the objects match!

LOOK MOM, NO CARDS- Simply imagine a card. Hold that thought deep down inside and now Scott Xavier will detect that card through Body Language. This effect made Scott Xavier a Chicago and college mentalist legend!
