Hi,

On the Sleight of Mind Set day we break the spell by not only teaching you the tricks and illusions but go behind the curtain and revealing the psychology of the methods. 

This is where the real power lies, by giving you the recipe for turning these tricks into effects that work for you.  My goal of the day is to share with you many of the tools, techniques and ideas that have entertained and mystified people over the past 100 years.  

These ideas, tools and techniques are not just restricted to being used to deliver Mind Magic, they can be applied across other areas too. They allow you to:-

Exude your sense of fun

Inspire others with your ideas

Evidence your passion and empathy

Standout and apart from the crowd

Add value to others

Create curiosity and a buzz

Plant seeds of future conversations

Take up an authoritative stance

Provide a memorable experience

Forget neutrality; we have to make an impact. Your message has no value unless it makes an impact.  We have to show agility in how we think, in cognitive fitness terms, we have to show mental acuity. By making an impact and showing mental acuity you make an emotional connection you are stirring the mirror neurons in others minds.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are being held around the country in Doncaster - 13th September 2013, Bath - 21st September 2013, London - 1st October 2013, Glasgow - 8th October 2013 and Birmingham - 15th October 2013. For more information, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

RAISE YOUR NOVELTY LEVEL

Regardless of your current situation you are aware that you have a lot more potential.  A way forward that comes from the neuroscience of leadership is to introduce something novel into your mix, this is precisely what the SMS day is all about.  The overall idea is that by its very nature, learning Mind Magic is novel to many people, as are the tools and techniques used in it.  It is about creating a new perspective, seeing your world from a different angle and raising your level through embracing novelty.

Engaging with and using Mind Magic works on many levels for you.  It is novel and entertaining, it attracts and holds people's attention. You will witness the attention that floating a borrowed note in front of people gives you.  It is also about firing and stirring the mirror neurons whilst fufilling a need for:

 

Control

Status - Leadership

Showing Special Powers

Mystery and the unexplained

Emotional Connection with others

To see some of this in action please look at these videos at www.mindsways.com/SMS/

IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRROR NEURONS

Enter the magician: A saying that has long been associated with magicians is that it is all done with smoke and mirrors. Well, there is obviously a bit of truth in that, but Mind Magic is done through Mirror Neurons. In 1992 an Italian scientist called Giacomo Rizzolatti came across and articulated the concept of Mirror Neurons, the general idea  being that "mirror neurons" become active in our brain by observing (or even reading) about other people's behaviours.  The brain actually responds as if we were doing the observed behaviour.

To see more on this, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

WHO STILL BELIEVES IN MAGIC?

You may think that you don't believe in magic in any way or form., but if we take a closer look at ourselves, we are surrounded by ritual, superstitions and the belief in invisible forces.  I have sat with government officers, scientists, CEOs and whole mixture of people, and one phrase quickly shows the magical beliefs that abound: "touch wood".

At its mere mention you can see people desperately looking around for wood.  How many of us have lucky charms, rituals we go through before exams, interviews, meetings etc. ? As people, we want to believe that there is something beyond, that there are invisible forces that impose order in the world. 

There are many reasons that lie behind why we believe weird things. One is that we want to be in control.  In fact the more uncertainty and unpredictable our situations become the more we grope for control. Mind Magic, otherwise known as mentalism, uses the idea that strange things are afoot. For more information on this or anything else in this newsletter, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

ENTER THE MIND MAGICIAN

We have a deep seated need for status, control and mystery.  The Mind Magician (and mentalists like Derren Brown) are experts at tapping in to and meeting this need, especially as many think it may just be real. Regardless of how many rational explanations are made that it's based on psychology and trickery, our need for control and our beliefs in invisible forces rejects the rational in favour of the emotional.  The mirror neurons are stirring in us and the needs for mystery are met through Mind Magic. This is why Mind Magic has held its popularity over the last 100 years. 

The tools, techniques and ideas accrued are all very clever, some simpler than others but all share this rich tradition.  Some of this tradition is the passing on and teaching of these ideas on days like the SMS. To see more about the rich history and tradition, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

INFORMATION ALONE IS NOT MOTIVATION

Your message to motivate others has to make an impact and leave an impression.  Otherwise no actions will follow from it.  To do this we have to think carefully about how we get our message across.  In doing this "show me" is more powerful than "tell me".  This is why we focus so much on the Show Not Tell (SNT) philosophy. 

Visual illusions are real-world demonstrations of how our minds work. Because of their subjective nature, illusions are powerful expressions of we fail to match what we see to the real world around us. This is what the SNT kit shows.

The SNT kit is designed to give you a sense and understanding of what is going on beneath the surface, allowing you to grasp the psychology of every illusion. A strong visual illusion makes you;

 

See something that isn't there

Fail to see something that is, or

See something different to what is there

Remember, you can't believe what you see, but you see what you believe. It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks; easy, but wrong.  They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;

 

Our Identity (How you see yourself)

Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)

Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)

Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)

Our Personality (Who you are)

And our very essence. Illusions, then, play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think.  On the day, you also receive your own copy of the SNT kit, for more information, see www.mindsways.com/SNT/

Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic has at its core the idea of showing, not just telling. Imagine any magic trick where the magician just described what was happening. This also brings to the fore the idea of ensuring Multiple Moments of Interest (MMI's) as part of your message. These are Multiple Moments of:

 

Interest

Interaction

Insight

Imagine then taking this and combing it with ideas from "Thought Leadership" such as:

 

Focus creating clarity

Clarity showing power

Power giving you understanding

Understanding giving  you certainty

Certainty leading to trust

Trust leading to actions

On the Sleight of Mind Set workshop, we use Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic as a means and a prism for looking at these ideas. Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/ for more.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect, Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect" and a twist on a classic Fred Astaire routine. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. Please take a look here or go to mindsways.com/SMS/

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to mindsways.com/SMS/

TAPPING INTO ENDURING POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling seats across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large audiences.

This is also shown by Now You See Me, which is based on the premise of 'what if magic were real'. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, it shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see the trailer and more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/.

Our aim is to make the day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others. For more on the tricks, effects and pieces on the workshops, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY IN ACTION

A few examples of these tricks which make up part of the day are the "McGurk Effect" and Richard Wiseman's "Incredible Colour Changing Card Trick". These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. By showing that all is not as it appears, these videos illustrate in a very visual manner that we cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe. It is this and many other techniques that we train you in on the day. To watch these fascinating videos, please go to mindsways.com/SMS.

NEUROMAGIC AND THE TRICKS OF THE MIND

As a psychologist and Psychological Artist, I have been fascinated by how the principles used in magic and mind magic in particular can reveal so much about our human nature and behaviour. Now, neuromagic as well as psychology is learning from Mind Magic.

Neuromagic is brand new field of neuroscience that is being used to understand how magic, affects and changes how we see the world. This in turn informs how we think and what we believe about ourselves and others.  For just one example of how magic is being used with neuroscience to study change blindness, go to mindsways.com/SMS#Neuromagic

As is often pointed out in portrayals of Sherlock Holmes; "we see but do not observe". Our cognitive biases constantly distort and filter how we think. We are always under the control of stereotyping, confirmational bias, default effects and much more, basically as magicians know; "we cannot believe what we see but we see what we believe"

The good news is that we do not need to be at the mercy of these thinking fallacies. As neuroscience shows us: we can change. Some go as far as to say that we actually have infinite plasticity, in other words, there is no limit to how much we can change ourselves or how we think.

The Sleight of Mind Set workshops use the principle that "all is not as it appears" to be able to illustrate this and how we see the world. This in turn affects how we act, think and behave, just as neuromagic shows us. The SNT kit has the tools built within it to help us change by making use of the infinite plasticity we all have and to do so with entertaining and enlightening ways. You get your own SNT kit to take away with you on the day. To see more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

THEATRE OF THE MIND

On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you.  The three levels we work on are:

 

Effect of a trick - "how did you do that?"

Analysis of a trick - "why does this trick work?  Why did the effect happen?"

Practicality of a trick - "how you can use the tricks for myself?"

This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic.  For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

EXAMPLES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WORKSHOP?

Register Your Place

For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID

Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.

The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.

To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. 

A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE

This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.

Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.

It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way.  It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.

Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/  ;

As a psychologist and Psychological Artist, I have been fascinated by how the principles used in magic and mind magic in particular can reveal so much about our human nature and behaviour. Now, neuromagic as well as psychology is learning from Mind Magic.

Neuromagic is brand new field of neuroscience that is being used to understand how magic, affects and changes how we see the world. This in turn informs how we think and what we believe about ourselves and others.  For just one example of how magic is being used with neuroscience to study change blindness, go to mindsways.com/SMS#Neuromagic

As is often pointed out in portrayals of Sherlock Holmes; "we see but do not observe". Our cognitive biases constantly distort and filter how we think. We are always under the control of stereotyping, confirmational bias, default effects and much more, basically as magicians know; "we cannot believe what we see but we see what we believe"

The good news is that we do not need to be at the mercy of these thinking fallacies. As neuroscience shows us: we can change. Some go as far as to say that we actually have infinite plasticity, in other words, there is no limit to how much we can change ourselves or how we think.

The Sleight of Mind Set workshops use the principle that "all is not as it appears" to be able to illustrate this and how we see the world. This in turn affects how we act, think and behave, just as neuromagic shows us. The SNT kit has the tools built within it to help us change by making use of the infinite plasticity we all have and to do so with entertaining and enlightening ways. You get your own SNT kit to take away with you on the day. To see more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

APPLIED ADVANTAGE

A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:

 

Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)

Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)

Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)

Creating attraction (and making you stand out)

Increasing your delivery vocabulary

Bridging the innovation gap

Personal Touch delivery

For more information on the themes of the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

TAPPING INTO THE POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling theatres across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large TV audiences.

This is also shown by the new blockbuster film; Now You See Me. The film is based on the premise of what if magic were real. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, the film shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see more about the film, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/#NowYouSeeMe.

Our aim is to make day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the theatre of the minds. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

THEATRE OF THE MIND

On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you.  The three levels we work on are:

 

Effect of a trick - "how did you do that?"

Analysis of a trick - "why does this trick work?  Why did the effect happen?"

Practicality of a trick - "how you can use the tricks for myself?"

This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic.  For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

EXAMPLES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WORKSHOP?

The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people from recent workshops saying things like:

 

"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"

"The most unique training day I have ever been on"

"My target was to get 3 things to add to my training, I had 11 by lunchtime"

"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

"Thanks to you both for a challenging, stimulating and enjoyable day"

"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"

"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year. The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/what-people-say/

WHAT DO YOU GET ON THE WORKSHOPS?

Within this day, you find ideas and techniques that you can use to enhance, enliven and enrich your delivery.  All of these will be demonstrated and explained with practical advice on their use in the workshop. The day will use both the Show, Not Tell kit and the Sleight of Mind Set pack.  All of these are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.

Register Your Place

For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID

Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.

The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.

To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. 

A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE

This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.

Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.

It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way.  It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.

Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/  ;

Hi,

Further to our recent emails, we have had a number of questions asked about what we do. Please see below for our answers to these.WHAT WORKSHOPS DO YOU DO?

We do a number of different themed workshops.  Currently we are running two open workshops, the Sleight of Mind Set and The Fascination. See mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/the-fascinationfor more on each of these.

They are both based on learning and applying Psychological Artistry to what you do. Each workshop is standalone and has different material in them. Both workshops come complete with supporting materials, kits, eBooks and online videos.  The Sleight of Mind Set has the SNT Kit (Show Not Tell) and SMS pack (Sleight of Mind Set) and The Fascination has TFP (The Fascination Pack). For more information in what is contained in these, see mindsways.com/SNT, mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/TFPrespectively.

We also run these in house.

DO YOU TEACH ME THE TRICKS?

Yes, although we prefer to call them effects. On the workshops, we talk about the difference between "tricks", "effects" and "pieces", and talk about how you can make tricks into effects and ultimately, use them as pieces of your delivery. You will be taught the effects and the how to use them on the workshops.

There are different effects taught on the Sleight of Mind Set and on The Fascination. For example, on the Sleight of Mind Set, you will taught to be able to appear to float a note in front of people, or on The Fascination, you will be taught how to bend a coin in someone else's hand. 

To see more information on what is a available on each workshop, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/and mindsways.com/the-fascination/

WHAT'S IN THE KITS? DO I HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THEM?

If you are booked on to programme, then no. The Sleight of Mind Set has the material that allows you to do the effects taught on the workshop. The SNT kit and The Fascination Pack are tools and resources all on their own. Outside of the courses, the SNT kit costs £49.99 and The Fascination pack is on special, pre-order discount of £39.99. For full details, please go to mindsways.com/SNT/ and mindsways.com/TFP.

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

Psychological Artistry is an approach to being able to show, illustrate and demonstrate human behaviour through using a combination of Mind Magic and psychology.  To see examples of this look at mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry and mindsways.com/the-fascination#PsychologicalTED

WHERE CAN I USE THIS?

You can use this anywhere. To see how it's already been used, you can look at the business page (at mindsways.com/business), the community page (at mindsways.com/community) and the therapy and coaching page (at mindsways.com/therapy-and-coaching)

WHERE ARE THE WORKSHOPS?

The Sleight of Mind Set workshops are being held across the UK in Birmingham, Bath, Glasgow, Scunthorpe. The Fascination Workshops are also being held around the UK in London, Birmingham and Bath.

WHAT ARE THE TIMES AND DATES OF THE WORKSHOPS?

All of the workshops start at 10:00 a.m. and aim to finish about 4:30 p.m. The dates for the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are the following:

 

Glasgow: 5th March

Birmingham: 12th March

Bath: 20th March (Now fully booked)

Scunthorpe: 29th March

The dates for The Fascination are:

 

London: 2nd April

Bath: 10th April

Birmingham: 16th April

DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE?

No, not at all. The open workshops take every one through the process step by step. The approach we take is closer to Mind Magic and modern mentalism (Derren Brown etc.) rather than traditional conjuring (Paul Daniels etc.) Previous participants have found the effects practical for what they do. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

ARE THE COURSES ACCREDITED?

No. This is because they're based on non-traditional approaches, uncommon knowledge from magic and are delivered flexibly, based on the people who are attending. It's this flexible and non-traditional approach that creates its strength.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

No, we take an informal approach where everyone is comfortable and have fun.

IS LUNCH PROVIDED?

No, lunch is not provided by us. All of the venues, however, are located near shops and town centres. We put aside at least an hour for lunch on the day and provide tea and coffee.

DO I NEED TO BRING A NOTEBOOK?

This depends on your personal preference. We do recommend brining a bottle of water and possibly business cards, as some people have found the workshops to be a useful networking oppourtunity. We provide:

 

Either the SNT kit or The Fascination Pack depending on which programme you attend

A 2-hour video with instructions for the kits

Presentation slides

Notes on the effects you will learn

Follow up opportunities

Systems for continual development

Post-workshop support, including email and phone access

DO YOU DO THIS IN-HOUSE?

Yes, we offer bespoke training to companies and organisations that are dedicated to training and developing their staff at any level. For more information on this, please get in touch using contact@mindsways.com

HOW DO I BOOK ON THE WORKSHOP?

You can book on the workshop by going to mindsways.com/SMS or mindsways.com/the-fascination and using the options at the bottom. You can use PayPal if you are already registered, or use a credit or debit card to pay. There are other alternatives available, you can use the contact button at the bottom of the web page to do this as well.

WHAT MAKES THIS SO DIFFERENT?

The mix of over a hundred years of mind magic tradition, psychology, neuroscience, design and smart thinking makes the materials and approach available extremely rare. Mind magic still maintains its pull factor and has always intrigued and fascinated. It attracts large theatres of people and huge TV audiences. We bring both personal and practical experience in all of these areas.

For more on any of the information above, please go to mindsways.com/SMS for the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, mindsways.com/SNT for the Show, Not Tell kit, mindsways.com/TFP for The Fascination Pack or mindsways.com/the-fascination for The Fascination workshop page.

George

Psychological Artistry is an approach to being able to show, illustrate and demonstrate human behaviour through using a combination of Mind Magic and psychology.  To see examples of this look at mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry and mindsways.com/the-fascination#PsychologicalTED

WHERE CAN I USE THIS?

You can use this anywhere. To see how it's already been used, you can look at the business page (at mindsways.com/business), the community page (at mindsways.com/community) and the therapy and coaching page (at mindsways.com/therapy-and-coaching)

WHERE ARE THE WORKSHOPS?

The Sleight of Mind Set workshops are being held across the UK in Birmingham, Bath, Glasgow, Scunthorpe. The Fascination Workshops are also being held around the UK in London, Birmingham and Bath.

WHAT ARE THE TIMES AND DATES OF THE WORKSHOPS?

All of the workshops start at 10:00 a.m. and aim to finish about 4:30 p.m. The dates for the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are the following:

 

Glasgow: 5th March

Birmingham: 12th March

Bath: 20th March (Now fully booked)

Scunthorpe: 29th March

The dates for The Fascination are:

 

London: 2nd April

Bath: 10th April

Birmingham: 16th April

DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE?

No, not at all. The open workshops take every one through the process step by step. The approach we take is closer to Mind Magic and modern mentalism (Derren Brown etc.) rather than traditional conjuring (Paul Daniels etc.) Previous participants have found the effects practical for what they do. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

ARE THE COURSES ACCREDITED?

No. This is because they're based on non-traditional approaches, uncommon knowledge from magic and are delivered flexibly, based on the people who are attending. It's this flexible and non-traditional approach that creates its strength.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

No, we take an informal approach where everyone is comfortable and have fun.

IS LUNCH PROVIDED?

No, lunch is not provided by us. All of the venues, however, are located near shops and town centres. We put aside at least an hour for lunch on the day and provide tea and coffee.

DO I NEED TO BRING A NOTEBOOK?

This depends on your personal preference. We do recommend brining a bottle of water and possibly business cards, as some people have found the workshops to be a useful networking oppourtunity. We provide:

 

Either the SNT kit or The Fascination Pack depending on which programme you attend

A 2-hour video with instructions for the kits

Presentation slides

Notes on the effects you will learn

Follow up opportunities

Systems for continual development

Post-workshop support, including email and phone access

DO YOU DO THIS IN-HOUSE?

Yes, we offer bespoke training to companies and organisations that are dedicated to training and developing their staff at any level. For more information on this, please get in touch using contact@mindsways.com

HOW DO I BOOK ON THE WORKSHOP?

You can book on the workshop by going to mindsways.com/SMS or mindsways.com/the-fascination and using the options at the bottom. You can use PayPal if you are already registered, or use a credit or debit card to pay. There are other alternatives available, you can use the contact button at the bottom of the web page to do this as well.

WHAT MAKES THIS SO DIFFERENT?

The mix of over a hundred years of mind magic tradition, psychology, neuroscience, design and smart thinking makes the materials and approach available extremely rare. Mind magic still maintains its pull factor and has always intrigued and fascinated. It attracts large theatres of people and huge TV audiences. We bring both personal and practical experience in all of these areas.

For more on any of the information above, please go to mindsways.com/SMS for the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, mindsways.com/SNT for the Show, Not Tell kit, mindsways.com/TFP for The Fascination Pack or mindsways.com/the-fascination for The Fascination workshop page.

George

Hi,

REVEALING THE TRICKS & THE SLEIGHT OF MIND SET WORKSHOP

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of these tricks have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch.  On the workshops and in the packs we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them and turn them into effects is where the real power lies. See mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/the-fascination for more information on doing this.

By delivering the effects that we go through on the workshops, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others.  We take you on a critical thinking journey that covers from Shamanism to Neuroscience.

To see a few interesting examples of how magic can be used in communication, please see mindsways.com/the-fascination# PsychologicalTED

TRANSFORMING HOW YOU THINK

On our programmes we offer insights into:

 

How we experience the world

How others see us

How we can influence others

How we can design and create meaningful experiences for others

How you can practically build your personal brand and your reputation

This is illustrated by using a blend of tricks, tools, techniques and ideas from Mind magic and Psychological Artistry. We cover issues and topics such as

 

The Innovation Gap

Schema Violation

Cognitive Fitness

Psychological Invisibility

Moments of Creativity

FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAMMES

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, but this is where the real power lies.  As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG

"Be Different - NO, Really Different"

Feedback comments we have had, such as:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"I got my money's worth after the first session"

"Can't wait for the next one"

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

"The tools here are certainly powerful"

"Nothing but praise. It was a light-hearted and informative day and I was able to go home and immediately try things. The following day I made use of my new information in a therapy session - to great effect."

"I was looking for something different this certainly met my expectation"

"You obviously have something very special happening here"

To see what people have said please visit mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

To start with there are many definitions of psychology, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".  Next is the Artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:

 

Creating connection, rapport and emotions

Telling stories

Gaining and holding attention

Producing insights

Displaying human nature

Cognition

Show, Not Tell

Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)

Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.  I would love to know what you think.

All the workshops start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. These are being held around the country, in:

Tapping Into Popularity

 

Tricks, Effects and Pieces

 

The Workshop

 

Psychological Artistry

 

You Can't Believe What You See

 

What Others Say

 

Hi,

We now have the dates for the Sleight of Mind Set workshops in 2013. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. See www.mindsways.com/SMS for more information.

We can learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave.  We can also use mind magic to illustrate human nature and our psychology. Adding psychological artistry to your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into the enduring popularity of magic and psychology.

Tapping Into Popularity & The Personal Touch

If you look at the most popular "tags" in Amazon, you will see standing out the terms "magic", "mystery" and "paranormal".  See www.mindsways.com/SMS for the image. In today's environment, we have to be able to be heard above the noise and stand out if we are attract people. By tapping into psychological artistry and mind magic, you are mining a rich resource that has popular appeal. 

Over the past 18 months I have also noticed a trend, as the power of technology expands and we are surrounded by screens of all sorts, we value face to face interactions and the personal touch much more. What we focus on in the workshops, is combining using your head (smart thinking) and the personal touch. It is all about contributing to your reputation and adding value to what you do.

When you engage using mind magic and psychological artistry, you are tapping into;

 

People's passion, fascination and curiosity

Mystery and true difference

What makes novelty and newness appealing

Their crystallised knowledge and enhancing fluid knowledge

Cognitive fitness ideas by creating a workout for their brain

Tricks, Effects and Pieces

On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we talk about the difference between tricks, effects and pieces. Briefly; a trick is a clever puzzle, it becomes an effect when it is presented and surrounded by story, meaning and/or emotion. It becomes a piece when the effect is woven into the very fabric of your personal brand and delivery. It then has the power to command attention, illustrates and communicates what you are about, allowing you to stand out.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop aims to give you a sound knowledge of the ideas, tools and techniques that form psychological artistry, but also quality material that you can add to your delivery (you get the SNT kit and the SMS package, see www.mindsways.com/SMS for more info). The day builds your own critical thinking skills, and provides new perspectives that allow you to step away from your own bias. 

Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop.

What Is The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop?

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. These are being held around the country, in:

 

London | 20th February 2013

Glasgow | 5th March 2013

Birmingham | 12th March 2013

Bath | 20th March 2013

Nr. Scunthorpe | 29th March 2013

The style of the day reflects the term edutrainment with it being a blend of entertainment, education and training. The aim of the day is to

 

Inform

Stimulate thought

Stimulate reflection

Create actions

Get  you to think anew and build anew

What Do You Get On The Workshops?

On the day, you will get the SNT kit, the Sleight of Mind Set kit, which give you the 20 plus physical gimmicks and illusions we explore on the day. You will also get written notes, copies of the presentation we use and access to the online training material for the SNT kit, all included in the fee for the workshop. All of these items are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.

Using the materials from the SNT and SMS, you will discover a wealth of practical, real world techniques that can be applied to coaching, training, consultancy, presenting or therapy.

Psychological Artistry

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

You Can't Believe What You See, But You See What You Believe

It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks. Easy, but wrong. They happen to you every day, in almost every activity you can think of. They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;

 

Our Identity (How you see yourself)

Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)

Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)

Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)

Our Personality (Who you are)

And our very essence. Illusion will play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think. To learn more about illusions and how they are linked in your life, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

To get your own SNT kit, please look here.

Sleight Of Mind Set

 

What Materials Do You Get?

 

Book Your Place

 

Hi,

Perspective is Everything is a talk by Rory Sutherland see link below, his theme is that psychological value is one of the most important areas of value. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops pick up on these ideas, they are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do. The SMS day is about adding psychological value to you. For more information on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

Perspective is Everything - Adding Psychological Value

In Perspective Is Everything, ad-man Rory Sutherland gives us an interesting and entertaining take on the themes of Psychological Artistry. (Please be aware, there is strong language in this video from the beginning)  Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#Perspective and let me know what you think. In summary, he says;

 

Things are not what they are; they are what we think they are

Things are also what we compare them to

Psychological value is the best kind of value

Value is composed of three parts Technological, Economic and Psychological

This whole idea of adding psychological value to what you do is the chief aim of Psychological Artistry ; combining psychological solutions and approaches with ideas to your delivery. The focus of the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is to add psychological value to your delivery.

 

Maya Angelou: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Being an effective communicator has very little to do with what you have to say, and everything to do with what people say about you. Psychological Artistry, the Sleight of Mind Set workshop and the SNT kit provokes you into becoming the talking point of a conversation. It's impossible to escape the force of impact that floating a note with your bear hands gives you when united with your compelling message.

By using the right techniques, anyone can:

 

Capture and maintain attention

Become more engaging

Demonstrate psychological value

Create meaningful interactions

Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.

Psychological Artistry - Perception and Insight

A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a well-known Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:

 

View and interpret our experiences

Make decisions

Filter our insights

Govern our assumptions

Act and behave

It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

Out Style Of Delivery: Edutrainment

Over the past 2 years, I have noticed a significant and fascinating new movement in the worlds of mentoring, training, teaching, consulting, coaching, management, therapy and many other areas. In all of these fields, the ability to work on a face-to-face basis and include Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry dramatically increases interest in you and your message, as well as your skill set, reputation and sales figures. To see some of the many success stories, please see here. It is this philosophy and principle that the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is based on, and it's this that makes you:

 

Stand Out

Grab and Hold Attention

Be More Interesting

Help Others

Engage More

As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave.  Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate  and understand human nature and our psychology.  Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology. To see what others have said, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop is about you tapping into the enduring popularity of magic and mystery by combining the ingenuity shown by Derren Brown and Dynamo with the popularity and interest evidenced by Amazon's "Most Popular Tags". For more information on this, see www.mindsways.com/SMS

Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.

Psychological Artistry - Perception and Insight

A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a well-known Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:

 

View and interpret our experiences

Make decisions

Filter our insights

Govern our assumptions

Act and behave

It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

Out Style Of Delivery: Edutrainment

Over the past 2 years, I have noticed a significant and fascinating new movement in the worlds of mentoring, training, teaching, consulting, coaching, management, therapy and many other areas. In all of these fields, the ability to work on a face-to-face basis and include Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry dramatically increases interest in you and your message, as well as your skill set, reputation and sales figures. To see some of the many success stories, please see here. It is this philosophy and principle that the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is based on, and it's this that makes you:

 

Stand Out

Grab and Hold Attention

Be More Interesting

Help Others

Engage More

As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave.  Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate  and understand human nature and our psychology.  Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology. To see what others have said, please go to mindsways.com/about/what-people-say

Tapping Into Popularity

 

Tricks, Effects and Pieces

 

The Workshop

 

Psychological Artistry

 

You Can't Believe What You See

 

What Others Say

 

Hi,

We now have the dates for the Sleight of Mind Set workshops in 2013. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. See www.mindsways.com/SMS for more information.

We can learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave.  We can also use mind magic to illustrate human nature and our psychology. Adding psychological artistry to your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into the enduring popularity of magic and psychology.

Tapping Into Popularity & The Personal Touch

If you look at the most popular "tags" in Amazon, you will see standing out the terms "magic", "mystery" and "paranormal".  See www.mindsways.com/SMS for the image. In today's environment, we have to be able to be heard above the noise and stand out if we are attract people. By tapping into psychological artistry and mind magic, you are mining a rich resource that has popular appeal. 

Over the past 18 months I have also noticed a trend, as the power of technology expands and we are surrounded by screens of all sorts, we value face to face interactions and the personal touch much more. What we focus on in the workshops, is combining using your head (smart thinking) and the personal touch. It is all about contributing to your reputation and adding value to what you do.

When you engage using mind magic and psychological artistry, you are tapping into;

 

People's passion, fascination and curiosity

Mystery and true difference

What makes novelty and newness appealing

Their crystallised knowledge and enhancing fluid knowledge

Cognitive fitness ideas by creating a workout for their brain

Tricks, Effects and Pieces

On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we talk about the difference between tricks, effects and pieces. Briefly; a trick is a clever puzzle, it becomes an effect when it is presented and surrounded by story, meaning and/or emotion. It becomes a piece when the effect is woven into the very fabric of your personal brand and delivery. It then has the power to command attention, illustrates and communicates what you are about, allowing you to stand out.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop aims to give you a sound knowledge of the ideas, tools and techniques that form psychological artistry, but also quality material that you can add to your delivery (you get the SNT kit and the SMS package, see www.mindsways.com/SMS for more info). The day builds your own critical thinking skills, and provides new perspectives that allow you to step away from your own bias. 

Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop.

What Is The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop?

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. These are being held around the country, in:

 

London | 20th February 2013

Glasgow | 5th March 2013

Birmingham | 12th March 2013

Bath | 20th March 2013

Nr. Scunthorpe | 29th March 2013

The style of the day reflects the term edutrainment with it being a blend of entertainment, education and training. The aim of the day is to

 

Inform

Stimulate thought

Stimulate reflection

Create actions

Get  you to think anew and build anew

What Do You Get On The Workshops?

On the day, you will get the SNT kit, the Sleight of Mind Set kit, which give you the 20 plus physical gimmicks and illusions we explore on the day. You will also get written notes, copies of the presentation we use and access to the online training material for the SNT kit, all included in the fee for the workshop. All of these items are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.

Using the materials from the SNT and SMS, you will discover a wealth of practical, real world techniques that can be applied to coaching, training, consultancy, presenting or therapy.

Psychological Artistry

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

You Can't Believe What You See, But You See What You Believe

It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks. Easy, but wrong. They happen to you every day, in almost every activity you can think of. They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;

 

Our Identity (How you see yourself)

Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)

Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)

Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)

Our Personality (Who you are)

And our very essence. Illusion will play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think. To learn more about illusions and how they are linked in your life, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

To get your own SNT kit, please look here.

What Others Say

Following on from our recent series of Sleight of Mind Set Workshops, we are pleased with the feedback comments we have had, such as:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

"Nothing but praise. It was a light-hearted and informative day and I was able to go home and immediately try things. The following day I made use of my new information in a therapy session - to great effect."

Hi,

REVEALING THE TRICKS & THE SLEIGHT OF MIND SET WORKSHOP

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of these tricks have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch.  On the workshops and in the packs we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them and turn them into effects is where the real power lies. See mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/the-fascination for more information on doing this.

By delivering the effects that we go through on the workshops, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others.  We take you on a critical thinking journey that covers from Shamanism to Neuroscience.

To see a few interesting examples of how magic can be used in communication, please see mindsways.com/the-fascination# PsychologicalTED

TRANSFORMING HOW YOU THINK

On our programmes we offer insights into:

 

How we experience the world

How others see us

How we can influence others

How we can design and create meaningful experiences for others

How you can practically build your personal brand and your reputation

This is illustrated by using a blend of tricks, tools, techniques and ideas from Mind magic and Psychological Artistry. We cover issues and topics such as

 

The Innovation Gap

Schema Violation

Cognitive Fitness

Psychological Invisibility

Moments of Creativity

FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAMMES

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, but this is where the real power lies.  As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG

"Be Different - NO, Really Different"

Feedback comments we have had, such as:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"I got my money's worth after the first session"

"Can't wait for the next one"

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

"The tools here are certainly powerful"

"Nothing but praise. It was a light-hearted and informative day and I was able to go home and immediately try things. The following day I made use of my new information in a therapy session - to great effect."

"I was looking for something different this certainly met my expectation"

"You obviously have something very special happening here"

To see what people have said please visit mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

To start with there are many definitions of psychology, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".  Next is the Artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:

 

Creating connection, rapport and emotions

Telling stories

Gaining and holding attention

Producing insights

Displaying human nature

Cognition

Show, Not Tell

Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)

Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.  I would love to know what you think.

Sleight Of Mind Set

 

What Materials Do You Get?

 

Book Your Place

 

Hi,

Perspective is Everything is a talk by Rory Sutherland see link below, his theme is that psychological value is one of the most important areas of value. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops pick up on these ideas, they are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do. The SMS day is about adding psychological value to you. For more information on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

Perspective is Everything - Adding Psychological Value

In Perspective Is Everything, ad-man Rory Sutherland gives us an interesting and entertaining take on the themes of Psychological Artistry. (Please be aware, there is strong language in this video from the beginning)  Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#Perspective and let me know what you think. In summary, he says;

 

Things are not what they are; they are what we think they are

Things are also what we compare them to

Psychological value is the best kind of value

Value is composed of three parts Technological, Economic and Psychological

This whole idea of adding psychological value to what you do is the chief aim of Psychological Artistry ; combining psychological solutions and approaches with ideas to your delivery. The focus of the Sleight of Mind Set workshop is to add psychological value to your delivery.

 

Maya Angelou: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Being an effective communicator has very little to do with what you have to say, and everything to do with what people say about you. Psychological Artistry, the Sleight of Mind Set workshop and the SNT kit provokes you into becoming the talking point of a conversation. It's impossible to escape the force of impact that floating a note with your bear hands gives you when united with your compelling message.

By using the right techniques, anyone can:

 

Capture and maintain attention

Become more engaging

Demonstrate psychological value

Create meaningful interactions

Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.

Psychological Artistry - Perception and Insight

A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a well-known Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:

 

View and interpret our experiences

Make decisions

Filter our insights

Govern our assumptions

Act and behave

Out Style Of Delivery: Edutrainment

By delivering the effects that we go through on the workshops, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others.  We take you on a critical thinking journey that covers from Shamanism to Neuroscience.

To see a few interesting examples of how magic can be used in communication, please see mindsways.com/the-fascination# PsychologicalTED

The Innovation Gap

Schema Violation

Moments of Creativity

FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAMMES

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, but this is where the real power lies.  As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG

"Be Different - NO, Really Different"

Feedback comments we have had, such as:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"I got my money's worth after the first session"

"Can't wait for the next one"

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

"The tools here are certainly powerful"

"Nothing but praise. It was a light-hearted and informative day and I was able to go home and immediately try things. The following day I made use of my new information in a therapy session - to great effect."

"I was looking for something different this certainly met my expectation"

"You obviously have something very special happening here"

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

To start with there are many definitions of psychology, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".  Next is the Artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:

 

Creating connection, rapport and emotions

Telling stories

Gaining and holding attention

Producing insights

Displaying human nature

Cognition

Show, Not Tell

Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)

Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.  I would love to know what you think.

It is this that makes the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops so unique, that will inspire you to stretch your own thinking and have lead to people saying: "A great course, with plenty to think about" and " Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

These worskhops are all being run around the country, in:

 

Glasgow - 2nd July 2013

For more information on the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to mindsways.com/SMS/

TAPPING INTO ENDURING POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling seats across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large audiences.

This is also shown by Now You See Me, which is based on the premise of 'what if magic were real'. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, it shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see the trailer and more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/.

Our aim is to make the day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others. For more on the tricks, effects and pieces on the workshops, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY IN ACTION

A few examples of these tricks which make up part of the day are the "McGurk Effect" and Richard Wiseman's "Incredible Colour Changing Card Trick". These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. By showing that all is not as it appears, these videos illustrate in a very visual manner that we cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe. It is this and many other techniques that we train you in on the day. To watch these fascinating videos, please go to mindsways.com/SMS.

GAINING APPLIED ADVANTAGE

A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:

 

Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)

Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)

Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)

Creating attraction (and making you stand out)

Increasing your delivery vocabulary

Bridging the innovation gap

Personal Touch delivery

WHAT DO YOU GET ON THE WORKSHOPS?

Within this day, you find ideas and techniques that you can use to enhance, enliven and enrich your delivery. All of these will be demonstrated and explained with practical advice on their use in the workshop. The day will use both the Show, Not Tell kit and the Sleight of Mind Set pack. All of these are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery. On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, you will get:

"Thanks to you both for a challenging, stimulating and enjoyable day"

"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"

Hi,

Have you ever experienced something that you just could not explain?  If so you understand the power of mystery and the pull of the paranormal and extraordinary phenomena.  A magician or a psychological illusionist can duplicate not only this phenomena, but also the feelings that go with it.  We know from watching them that just because we cannot explain what happened, it does not mean it is inexplicable.

Revealing what lies behind the inexplicable involves not just knowing the trick but also revealing important aspects of ourselves, how we think, feel and behave.  Understanding these and how to use this knowledge is what these workshops are about.

Learning Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic is all about using and gaining access to valuable and guarded secrets. For more information see mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/the-fascination

WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU DON'T

Learning, using and applying the ideas, tricks, tools techniques and secrets behind Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry is what the workshops are all about. On the workshops we:

 

Reveal Tricks

Look at how to turn these tricks into effects and pieces that work for you

Explore the power of our Beliefs and Perspectives

Look at the Psychology of Error

Look at the true value of "The Personal Touch" in this technological dominated environment

Look at why we Believe Weird Things

Demonstrate the Power of Directing Attention (as opposed to Misdirection)

The Psychology and Neuroscience behind making the tricks work

Practical uses for Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry

THE FEEDBACK - WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotists, trainers etc.

Hi,

As you may know I have been working with people, businesses and organisations around applying Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry to their delivery through coaching and workshops.  My aim is to introduce something new and fresh into the existing mix of ideas. This is about learning and doing something different. I am now running The Fascination set of workshops. For more information on "The Fascination" please look at www.mindsways.com/the-fascination.

This is a brand new workshop that has all new material from any previous workshops held. You will be given new routines and supplied with the brand new Fascination pack and supporting materials.

THE THEMES OF THE FASCINATION

The theme of this day, as the title says, is Fascination. The contents of the day combine learning Mind Magic routines and Psychological Artistry with the psychology and power of Fascination. In short, we look at how you can use the aspects of Fascination yourself. 

The overall themes of all the workshops we run are:

 

Show, Not Tell

Apply Accumulated Advantage

Emotional Engagement

Creativity & Innovation

Mystery, Magic & Surprise

On The Fascination workshop, we look into these in fine detail. How do you use creativity and innovation? How do you apply accumulated advantage to your delivery? What is the mystery, magic and surprise that's wrapped up in what you do?

We seek to answer some of these questions on the day, and by doing so, ignite the passion you have for your work, business, coaching and in your personal life.

Every second we communicate on a face-to-face basis, we broadcast thousands of Fascination signals. These can be on purpose or on accident, positive or negative, powerful or weak, meaningful or meaningless. What is undeniable though is that we can't help but broadcast them.

Interest, awareness, intent to buy or curiosity is not enough. Making something bigger, better, louder, cheaper or bolder may work short-term, but it will always fizzle out. We're over stimulated, over cluttered and over worked by the amount of choices and stressful decisions we are forced to make that calls for our attention.

Our limited focus is often black-mailed by these messages to pay attention to just one at a time. However, when a message fascinates us, when its presentation is fascinating and when a person uses The Fascination, we can't help but have our entire focus pulled towards it.

MIND MAGIC & PSYCHOLOGY IN ACTION

To see examples of how Mind Magic, Psychological Artistry and psychology go together, please take a look at:

 

Keith Barry - Brain Magic

Eric Mead - The Magic of The Placebo

Marco Tempest - A Magical Tale

These are all excellent TED talks that can be found at mindsways.com/the-fascination/#PsychologicalTED

FEEDBACK

This workshop is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking. The feedback from our sessions and workshops has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  To see what people have said see www.mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/. The approach we take is about using these ideas and techniques to add Fascination and value to your delivery.  At the basic level, using these ideas and techniques makes us stand out and grabs people's interest and attention. By integrating Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry with The Fascination workshop, you will certainly introduce mystery and intrigue, whether at a business meeting, a coaching session, a presentation or in your personal life.THE FASCINATION WORKSHOPSThe Fascination Workshops are brand new one day workshops all about learning and applying Mind Magic ideas powerful Fascination techniques to what you do. They all start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. These are being held around the country, in:

 

London : 2nd April 2013

Bath: 10th April 2013

Birmingham: 16th April 2013

There are limited spaces due to the venues, and included in this cost is the Fascination Pack and supporting materials, worth over £75. To read more about and book your place on The Fascination workshop, please look at www.mindsways.com/the-fascination or contact me directly.

Hi,

Have you ever experienced something that you just could not explain?  If so you understand the power of mystery and the pull of the paranormal and extraordinary phenomena.  A magician or a psychological illusionist can duplicate not only this phenomena, but also the feelings that go with it.  We know from watching them that just because we cannot explain what happened, it does not mean it is inexplicable.

Revealing what lies behind the inexplicable involves not just knowing the trick but also revealing important aspects of ourselves, how we think, feel and behave.  Understanding these and how to use this knowledge is what these workshops are about.

Learning Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic is all about using and gaining access to valuable and guarded secrets. For more information see mindsways.com/SMS and mindsways.com/the-fascination

WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU DON'T

Learning, using and applying the ideas, tricks, tools techniques and secrets behind Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry is what the workshops are all about. On the workshops we:

 

Reveal Tricks

Look at how to turn these tricks into effects and pieces that work for you

Explore the power of our Beliefs and Perspectives

Look at the Psychology of Error

Look at the true value of "The Personal Touch" in this technological dominated environment

Look at why we Believe Weird Things

Demonstrate the Power of Directing Attention (as opposed to Misdirection)

The Psychology and Neuroscience behind making the tricks work

Practical uses for Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry

THE FEEDBACK - WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO, Really Different".

Feedback comments we have had, such as:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

"Nothing but praise. It was a light-hearted and informative day and I was able to go home and immediately try things. The following day I made use of my new information in a therapy session - to great effect."

"You obviously have something very special happening here"

To see what people have said please visit mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/

TRICKS OF THE MIND

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch.  On the workshops and in the packs we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them and turn them into effects is where the real power lies.

By delivering these effects, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others.

To see a few interesting examples of how magic can be used in communication, please see mindsways.com/the-fascination# PsychologicalTED

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

To start with there are many definitions of psychology, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".  Next is the Artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:

 

Creating connection, rapport and emotions

Telling stories

Gaining and holding attention

Producing insights

Displaying human nature

Cognition

Show, Not Tell

Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)

Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.  I would love to know what you think.

For more information and to book your place on the course, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

SNAP CRACKLE POP

Snap, Crackle, Pop is a mnemonic that I use which captures the essence of the contents of the Sleight of Mind Set workshops. Without going into too much detail, the letters stand for are:

 

Start

Noticing

Alternative

Perceptions

 

Creativity

Repetitive Statement Injury

Applied Advantage

Cognitive Fitness

KAF (Knowledge x Ability x Frequency = Talent)

Leverage

Emotional Engagement

 

Power

Pictures

Each of these on their own are really powerful concepts and ideas, however I have found that by combining them it makes a very potent mix. They each exist independently within the SNT kit and the workshops, to see more about this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

WHAT DO I GET ON THE WORKSHOPS?

Within this day, you will find more than 20 discrete routines, ideas and techniques (you will be supplied the physical gimmicks etc in the SNT kit and SMS) that you can use to enhance, enliven and enrich your delivery.  

All of these will be demonstrated and explained with practical advice on their use in the workshop.  The day will use both the Show, Not Tell kit and the Sleight of Mind Set (each available separately but are included as part of the day. For more information, visit the SNT kit.) All of these 20 items are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.

On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, you will get:

 

The SMS Pack :- The materials you need to perform the tricks we go through on the day

The SNT Kit :- The Show, Not Tell Kit. For more information on this, please go to mindsways.com/SNT/

The Presentation :- A copy of the presentation we use on the day for your reference

The eBook :- Access to written material on the tricks, including scripts and tips on performance

Follow-up Support :- Email and phone access to the trainers for further training or advice

Using the materials from the SNT and SMS, you will discover a wealth of practical, real world techniques that can be applied to coaching, training, consultancy, presenting, goal setting, business, personal development and therapy.

As well as the delivery of the SNT and SMS, we will explore why we believe what we do, why we believe weird things. The workshop weaves a path through Psychological Artistry, Mind Magic, neuroscience and practical delivery methods.

Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop. To register your place on the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, please go to mindsways.com/SMS

THE FEEDBACK

The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people (from last weeks workshops) saying things like:

 

"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"

"The most unique training day I have ever been on"

"My target was to get 3 things to add to my training, I had 11 by lunchtime"

"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies.  As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different   - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

Hi,

As you may know I have been working with people, businesses and organisations around applying Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry to their delivery through coaching and workshops.  My aim is to introduce something new and fresh into the existing mix of ideas. This is about learning and doing something different. I am now running The Fascination set of workshops. For more information on "The Fascination" please look at www.mindsways.com/the-fascination.

This is a brand new workshop that has all new material from any previous workshops held. You will be given new routines and supplied with the brand new Fascination pack and supporting materials.

THE THEMES OF THE FASCINATION

The theme of this day, as the title says, is Fascination. The contents of the day combine learning Mind Magic routines and Psychological Artistry with the psychology and power of Fascination. In short, we look at how you can use the aspects of Fascination yourself. 

The overall themes of all the workshops we run are:

 

Show, Not Tell

Apply Accumulated Advantage

Emotional Engagement

Creativity & Innovation

Mystery, Magic & Surprise

On The Fascination workshop, we look into these in fine detail. How do you use creativity and innovation? How do you apply accumulated advantage to your delivery? What is the mystery, magic and surprise that's wrapped up in what you do?

We seek to answer some of these questions on the day, and by doing so, ignite the passion you have for your work, business, coaching and in your personal life.

Every second we communicate on a face-to-face basis, we broadcast thousands of Fascination signals. These can be on purpose or on accident, positive or negative, powerful or weak, meaningful or meaningless. What is undeniable though is that we can't help but broadcast them.

Interest, awareness, intent to buy or curiosity is not enough. Making something bigger, better, louder, cheaper or bolder may work short-term, but it will always fizzle out. We're over stimulated, over cluttered and over worked by the amount of choices and stressful decisions we are forced to make that calls for our attention.

Our limited focus is often black-mailed by these messages to pay attention to just one at a time. However, when a message fascinates us, when its presentation is fascinating and when a person uses The Fascination, we can't help but have our entire focus pulled towards it.

MIND MAGIC & PSYCHOLOGY IN ACTION

To see examples of how Mind Magic, Psychological Artistry and psychology go together, please take a look at:

 

Keith Barry - Brain Magic

Eric Mead - The Magic of The Placebo

Marco Tempest - A Magical Tale

These are all excellent TED talks that can be found at mindsways.com/the-fascination/#PsychologicalTED

The feedback from our sessions and workshops has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  To see what people have said see www.mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/.

Hi,

On the Sleight of Mind Set day we break the spell by not only teaching you the tricks and illusions but go behind the curtain and revealing the psychology of the methods. 

This is where the real power lies, by giving you the recipe for turning these tricks into effects that work for you.  My goal of the day is to share with you many of the tools, techniques and ideas that have entertained and mystified people over the past 100 years.  

These ideas, tools and techniques are not just restricted to being used to deliver Mind Magic, they can be applied across other areas too. They allow you to:-

Forget neutrality; we have to make an impact. Your message has no value unless it makes an impact.  We have to show agility in how we think, in cognitive fitness terms, we have to show mental acuity. By making an impact and showing mental acuity you make an emotional connection you are stirring the mirror neurons in others minds.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are being held around the country in Doncaster - 13th September 2013, Bath - 21st September 2013, London - 1st October 2013, Glasgow - 8th October 2013 and Birmingham - 15th October 2013. For more information, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

RAISE YOUR NOVELTY LEVEL

Regardless of your current situation you are aware that you have a lot more potential.  A way forward that comes from the neuroscience of leadership is to introduce something novel into your mix, this is precisely what the SMS day is all about.  The overall idea is that by its very nature, learning Mind Magic is novel to many people, as are the tools and techniques used in it.  It is about creating a new perspective, seeing your world from a different angle and raising your level through embracing novelty.

Engaging with and using Mind Magic works on many levels for you.  It is novel and entertaining, it attracts and holds people's attention. You will witness the attention that floating a borrowed note in front of people gives you.  It is also about firing and stirring the mirror neurons whilst fufilling a need for:

 

Control

Status - Leadership

Showing Special Powers

Mystery and the unexplained

Emotional Connection with others

To see some of this in action please look at these videos at www.mindsways.com/SMS/

IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRROR NEURONS

Enter the magician: A saying that has long been associated with magicians is that it is all done with smoke and mirrors. Well, there is obviously a bit of truth in that, but Mind Magic is done through Mirror Neurons. In 1992 an Italian scientist called Giacomo Rizzolatti came across and articulated the concept of Mirror Neurons, the general idea  being that "mirror neurons" become active in our brain by observing (or even reading) about other people's behaviours.  The brain actually responds as if we were doing the observed behaviour.

To see more on this, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

WHO STILL BELIEVES IN MAGIC?

You may think that you don't believe in magic in any way or form., but if we take a closer look at ourselves, we are surrounded by ritual, superstitions and the belief in invisible forces.  I have sat with government officers, scientists, CEOs and whole mixture of people, and one phrase quickly shows the magical beliefs that abound: "touch wood".

At its mere mention you can see people desperately looking around for wood.  How many of us have lucky charms, rituals we go through before exams, interviews, meetings etc. ? As people, we want to believe that there is something beyond, that there are invisible forces that impose order in the world. 

There are many reasons that lie behind why we believe weird things. One is that we want to be in control.  In fact the more uncertainty and unpredictable our situations become the more we grope for control. Mind Magic, otherwise known as mentalism, uses the idea that strange things are afoot. For more information on this or anything else in this newsletter, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

ENTER THE MIND MAGICIAN

We have a deep seated need for status, control and mystery.  The Mind Magician (and mentalists like Derren Brown) are experts at tapping in to and meeting this need, especially as many think it may just be real. Regardless of how many rational explanations are made that it's based on psychology and trickery, our need for control and our beliefs in invisible forces rejects the rational in favour of the emotional.  The mirror neurons are stirring in us and the needs for mystery are met through Mind Magic. This is why Mind Magic has held its popularity over the last 100 years. 

The tools, techniques and ideas accrued are all very clever, some simpler than others but all share this rich tradition.  Some of this tradition is the passing on and teaching of these ideas on days like the SMS. To see more about the rich history and tradition, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/

INFORMATION ALONE IS NOT MOTIVATION

Your message to motivate others has to make an impact and leave an impression.  Otherwise no actions will follow from it.  To do this we have to think carefully about how we get our message across.  In doing this "show me" is more powerful than "tell me".  This is why we focus so much on the Show Not Tell (SNT) philosophy. 

Visual illusions are real-world demonstrations of how our minds work. Because of their subjective nature, illusions are powerful expressions of we fail to match what we see to the real world around us. This is what the SNT kit shows.

The SNT kit is designed to give you a sense and understanding of what is going on beneath the surface, allowing you to grasp the psychology of every illusion. A strong visual illusion makes you;

 

See something that isn't there

Fail to see something that is, or

See something different to what is there

Remember, you can't believe what you see, but you see what you believe. It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks; easy, but wrong.  They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;

 

Our Identity (How you see yourself)

Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)

Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)

Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)

Our Personality (Who you are)

And our very essence. Illusions, then, play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think.  On the day, you also receive your own copy of the SNT kit, for more information, see www.mindsways.com/SNT/

Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic has at its core the idea of showing, not just telling. Imagine any magic trick where the magician just described what was happening. This also brings to the fore the idea of ensuring Multiple Moments of Interest (MMI's) as part of your message. These are Multiple Moments of:

 

Interest

Interaction

Insight

Imagine then taking this and combing it with ideas from "Thought Leadership" such as:

 

Focus creating clarity

Clarity showing power

Power giving you understanding

Understanding giving  you certainty

Certainty leading to trust

Trust leading to actions

On the Sleight of Mind Set workshop, we use Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic as a means and a prism for looking at these ideas. Please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/ for more.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect, Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect" and a twist on a classic Fred Astaire routine. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. Please take a look here or go to mindsways.com/SMS/

Stimulate thought

Stimulate reflection

Get  you to think anew and build anew

For more information and to book your place on the course, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

SNAP CRACKLE POP

Snap, Crackle, Pop is a mnemonic that I use which captures the essence of the contents of the Sleight of Mind Set workshops. Without going into too much detail, the letters stand for are:

 

Start

Noticing

Alternative

Perceptions

 

Creativity

Repetitive Statement Injury

Applied Advantage

Cognitive Fitness

KAF (Knowledge x Ability x Frequency = Talent)

Leverage

Power

Of

Pictures

Each of these on their own are really powerful concepts and ideas, however I have found that by combining them it makes a very potent mix. They each exist independently within the SNT kit and the workshops, to see more about this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

WHAT DO I GET ON THE WORKSHOPS?

Within this day, you will find more than 20 discrete routines, ideas and techniques (you will be supplied the physical gimmicks etc in the SNT kit and SMS) that you can use to enhance, enliven and enrich your delivery.  

All of these will be demonstrated and explained with practical advice on their use in the workshop.  The day will use both the Show, Not Tell kit and the Sleight of Mind Set (each available separately but are included as part of the day. For more information, visit the SNT kit.) All of these 20 items are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.

On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, you will get:

 

The SMS Pack :- The materials you need to perform the tricks we go through on the day

The SNT Kit :- The Show, Not Tell Kit. For more information on this, please go to mindsways.com/SNT/

The Presentation :- A copy of the presentation we use on the day for your reference

The eBook :- Access to written material on the tricks, including scripts and tips on performance

Follow-up Support :- Email and phone access to the trainers for further training or advice

Using the materials from the SNT and SMS, you will discover a wealth of practical, real world techniques that can be applied to coaching, training, consultancy, presenting, goal setting, business, personal development and therapy.

As well as the delivery of the SNT and SMS, we will explore why we believe what we do, why we believe weird things. The workshop weaves a path through Psychological Artistry, Mind Magic, neuroscience and practical delivery methods.

Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop. To register your place on the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, please go to mindsways.com/SMS

THE FEEDBACK

The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people (from last weeks workshops) saying things like:

 

"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"

"The most unique training day I have ever been on"

"My target was to get 3 things to add to my training, I had 11 by lunchtime"

"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year.  The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies.  As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different   - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall, it acts as a catalyst for your future development. It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

Hi,

Following on from the success of 2012, we are excited to be holding another set of Sleight of Mind Set workshops in the next few months. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do.

As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate  and understand human nature and our psychology. Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop is about you tapping into the enduring popularity of magic and mystery by combining the ingenuity shown by Derren Brown and Dynamo with the popularity and interest evidenced by Amazon's "Most Popular Tags". For more information on this, see www.mindsways.com/SMS

Psychological Artistry - Perspective and Insight

A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a classic Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:

 

View and interpret our experiences

Make decisions

Filter our insights

Govern our assumptions

Act and behave

It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. These are being held around the country, in:

 

London | 20th February 2013

Glasgow | 5th March 2013

Birmingham | 12th March 2013

Bath | 20th March 2013

Nr. Scunthorpe | 29th March 2013

The style of the day reflects the term "Edutrainment", with it being an immersive blend of entertainment, education and training. When you use Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry, you are tapping into;

 

Passion, fascination and curiosity

Mystery

The appeal of the new and the novel

People's crystallised and fluid knowledge

Cognitive fitness training

Over the past two years, hundreds of people have found the benefits of including Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry in what they do. To see what people have said about this, click here.

The aim of the day is to;

 

Teach you the mind magic effects

Stimulate thought

Stimulate reflection

Inform

Create actions

Get  you to think anew and build anew

Explore the importance of 'Personal Touch'

Hi,

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery.  There are a huge collection of secret techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshops are one day workshops all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and Mind Magic's enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together; one learning the tricks and effects, the other learning about why and how they add value to us.

They are being held around the country, in:

 

Neuromagic & the Tricks of the Mind

 

Applied Advantage

 

Tapping Into Popularity

 

Theatre of the Mind

NEUROMAGIC AND THE TRICKS OF THE MIND

As a psychologist and Psychological Artist, I have been fascinated by how the principles used in magic and mind magic in particular can reveal so much about our human nature and behaviour. Now, neuromagic as well as psychology is learning from Mind Magic.

Neuromagic is brand new field of neuroscience that is being used to understand how magic, affects and changes how we see the world. This in turn informs how we think and what we believe about ourselves and others.  For just one example of how magic is being used with neuroscience to study change blindness, go to mindsways.com/SMS#Neuromagic

As is often pointed out in portrayals of Sherlock Holmes; "we see but do not observe". Our cognitive biases constantly distort and filter how we think. We are always under the control of stereotyping, confirmational bias, default effects and much more, basically as magicians know; "we cannot believe what we see but we see what we believe"

The good news is that we do not need to be at the mercy of these thinking fallacies. As neuroscience shows us: we can change. Some go as far as to say that we actually have infinite plasticity, in other words, there is no limit to how much we can change ourselves or how we think.

The Sleight of Mind Set workshops use the principle that "all is not as it appears" to be able to illustrate this and how we see the world. This in turn affects how we act, think and behave, just as neuromagic shows us. The SNT kit has the tools built within it to help us change by making use of the infinite plasticity we all have and to do so with entertaining and enlightening ways. You get your own SNT kit to take away with you on the day. To see more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

APPLIED ADVANTAGE

A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:

 

Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)

Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)

Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)

Creating attraction (and making you stand out)

Increasing your delivery vocabulary

Bridging the innovation gap

Personal Touch delivery

For more information on the themes of the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

TAPPING INTO THE POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling theatres across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large TV audiences.

This is also shown by the new blockbuster film; Now You See Me. The film is based on the premise of what if magic were real. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, the film shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see more about the film, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/#NowYouSeeMe.

Our aim is to make day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the theatre of the minds. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

THEATRE OF THE MIND

On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you.  The three levels we work on are:

 

Effect of a trick - "how did you do that?"

Analysis of a trick - "why does this trick work?  Why did the effect happen?"

Practicality of a trick - "how you can use the tricks for myself?"

This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic.  For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/

EXAMPLES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS#PsychologicalArtistry. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. 

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WORKSHOP?

The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people from recent workshops saying things like:

 

"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"

"The most unique training day I have ever been on"

"My target was to get 3 things to add to my training, I had 11 by lunchtime"

"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

"Thanks to you both for a challenging, stimulating and enjoyable day"

"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"

"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"

The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year. The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc. 

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/what-people-say/

Hi,

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery.  There are a huge collection of secret techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshops are one day workshops all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and Mind Magic's enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together; one learning the tricks and effects, the other learning about why and how they add value to us.

They are being held around the country, in:

Register Your Place

For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID

Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.

The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.

To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. 

A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE

This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.

Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.

It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way.  It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.

Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/  ;

"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"

Perspective and Insight

 

The Sleight Of Mind Set Workshops

 

What Materials Do You Get?

 

Book Your Place

 

Hi,

Following on from the success of 2012, we are excited to be holding another set of Sleight of Mind Set workshops in the next few months. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning, understanding and applying Mind Magic (Mentalism) and Psychological Artistry to what you do.

As well as learning the effects, you can also learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. Mind Magic, as well as being entertaining and fascinating, can also be used to illustrate  and understand human nature and our psychology. Using Psychological Artistry in your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into this enduring popularity of magic and psychology.

The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop is about you tapping into the enduring popularity of magic and mystery by combining the ingenuity shown by Derren Brown and Dynamo with the popularity and interest evidenced by Amazon's "Most Popular Tags". For more information on this, see www.mindsways.com/SMS

Psychological Artistry - Perspective and Insight

A fascinating example of perspective and insight is shown in a classic Fred Astaire clip, click here to see it. Perspectives determine how we:

 

View and interpret our experiences

Make decisions

Filter our insights

Govern our assumptions

Act and behave

It is this unseen primary influence that magicians know and understand and use very well.

Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or go to  mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry.

Register Your Place

For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID

Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.

The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.

To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. 

A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE

This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.

Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.

It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way.  It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.

Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/  ;

It is this that makes the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops so unique, that will inspire you to stretch your own thinking and have lead to people saying: "A great course, with plenty to think about" and " Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

These worskhops are all being run around the country, in:

 

Glasgow - 2nd July 2013

London - 9th July 2013

Birmingham - 16th July 2013

TAPPING INTO ENDURING POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling seats across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large audiences.

This is also shown by Now You See Me, which is based on the premise of 'what if magic were real'. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, it shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see the trailer and more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/.

Our aim is to make the day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others. For more on the tricks, effects and pieces on the workshops, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY IN ACTION

A few examples of these tricks which make up part of the day are the "McGurk Effect" and Richard Wiseman's "Incredible Colour Changing Card Trick". These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. By showing that all is not as it appears, these videos illustrate in a very visual manner that we cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe. It is this and many other techniques that we train you in on the day. To watch these fascinating videos, please go to mindsways.com/SMS.

GAINING APPLIED ADVANTAGE

A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:

 

Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)

Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)

Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)

Creating attraction (and making you stand out)

Increasing your delivery vocabulary

Bridging the innovation gap

Personal Touch delivery

Register Your Place

For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID

Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.

The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.

To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/

THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY

The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies. 

Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it. 

A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry. 

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE

This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.

Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:

 

"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."

"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."

"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."

BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT

This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking.  The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.  This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:

 

Human Behaviour & Psychology

Influence & Persuasion

How We Think

Magic & Magicians

New Experiences

Learning & Teaching

Framing Your Ideas

The day is all about

 

Exploring the art of possibility

Stimulating creativity and innovation

Transforming personal and professional life

Tapping into your imagination

On the personal development level, it is about transforming

 

Self esteem

Self confidence

Self awareness

Self motivation

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.

It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.

MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way.  It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.

Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/  ;

"I've had plenty of thoughts about how some of the approaches used might be incorporated into several areas of my work"

It is this that makes the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops so unique, that will inspire you to stretch your own thinking and have lead to people saying: "A great course, with plenty to think about" and " Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"

These worskhops are all being run around the country, in:

 

Glasgow - 2nd July 2013

London - 9th July 2013

Birmingham - 16th July 2013

Doncaster - 13th September 2013

For more information on the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at mindsways.com/SMS/.

Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to mindsways.com/what-people-say/

For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.

They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to mindsways.com/SMS/

TAPPING INTO ENDURING POPULARITY

Mind Magic holds an enduring allure and popularity by bringing together entertainment, mystery and the paranormal. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown currently filling seats across the country with his 'Infamous' tour and drawing large audiences.

This is also shown by Now You See Me, which is based on the premise of 'what if magic were real'. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, it shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. To see the trailer and more, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/.

Our aim is to make the day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:

 

Curiosity

Learning something new

Interest in how the mind works

Adding variety to enliven their presentations

New and different approaches

Adding to their business practices

An increased reputation

A channel for their passion and fascination

Wider perspectives and experiences

The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people. By doing this, you are tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the power of the Personal Touch.

On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others. For more on the tricks, effects and pieces on the workshops, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY IN ACTION

A few examples of these tricks which make up part of the day are the "McGurk Effect" and Richard Wiseman's "Incredible Colour Changing Card Trick". These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. By showing that all is not as it appears, these videos illustrate in a very visual manner that we cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe. It is this and many other techniques that we train you in on the day. To watch these fascinating videos, please go to mindsways.com/SMS.

GAINING APPLIED ADVANTAGE

A theme of the day is how you can use these ideas and techniques to add practical value to your delivery through:

 

Using MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight)

Connecting emotionally and being relevant (emotional triggers)

Being memorable (giving people something novel to talk about)

Creating attraction (and making you stand out)

Increasing your delivery vocabulary

Bridging the innovation gap

Personal Touch delivery

WHAT DO YOU GET ON THE WORKSHOPS?

This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - No, Really Different".
