This shot was taken by my father during a particularly unusual, and bitterly cold, snowfall in Shreveport, Louisiana. The temperature actually fell to 0° F. You read that right, ZERO!!
Officially, the Shreveport Regional Airport recorded the low temperature for January 12, 1962, as 3° F., but my father said his outdoor thermometer read a big fat 'goose-egg'.

REVEALING TRICKSIs this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser.
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"

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.

The Neil Howard stages are fast becoming an autumn tradition at Oulton with some very interesting entries to jog memories, and very enthusiastically driiven , with a great atmosphere when darkness descends over the Cheshire countryside and the cars' lights pierce the darkness.
A great day's motorsport, with myself and mrs snowman breaking off from the spectating to thoroughly enjoy ourselves driving a GT86 on Oulton's rally school stages, and the day was rounded off by a bonfire and an excellent fireworks display.
For those wishing to identify the cars the entry list for the rally can be found here www.rallies.info/res.php?e=196&o=p&t=999&r=e&... and the results here www.rallies.info/res.php?e=196&o=p&t=999&r=o&...

SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONSIs this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser.
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

Start
Noticing
Alternative
Perceptions
Creativity
Repetitive Statement Injury
Applied Advantage
Cognitive Fitness
KAF (Knowledge x Ability x Frequency = Talent)
Leverage
Emotional Engagement

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!"

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.

How We Think
Magic & Magicians
New Experiences

Framing Your Ideas
The day is all about

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.

I've never been able to duplicate this, but I did manage to get 999,999 one time on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin!!! While I know there is nothing too amazing about the shot itself, I just love the maxed out score. I believe I hit one of the 100,000 point targets multiple times in the first room on Zorg's arm, which essentially got me all the way to a max score. From that point on, I was able to sit back and enjoy taking pictures, marveling at my score. Funny thing is, the next time I went on this was with my fiance for her first time and SHE WON!!! I don't think she'll let me forget that anytime soon either...

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.

The Neil Howard stages are fast becoming an autumn tradition at Oulton with some very interesting entries to jog memories, and very enthusiastically driiven , with a great atmosphere when darkness descends over the Cheshire countryside and the cars lights pierce the darkness.
A great day's motorsport, with myself and mrs snowman breaking off from the spectating to thoroughly enjoy ourselves driving a GT86 on Oulton's rally school stages, and the day was rounded off by a bonfire and an excellent fireworks display.

REVEALING TRICKSIs this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser.
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.

SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONSIs this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser.
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

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:-
IN THIS WEEK'S NEWSLETTER:
Raise Your Novelty Level
It's All Smoke and Mirror Neurons
Who Still Believes in Magic?
Enter the Mind Magician
Information Alone Is Not Motivation
Psychological Artistry
What Do You Get On The Workshops?
What Do People Say About The Workshops?
Booking Your Place
Show your unique perspective
Make events unique and special
Channel your drive
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/

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:-
IN THIS WEEK'S NEWSLETTER:
Raise Your Novelty Level
It's All Smoke and Mirror Neurons
Who Still Believes in Magic?
Enter the Mind Magician
Information Alone Is Not Motivation
Psychological Artistry
What Do You Get On The Workshops?
What Do People Say About The Workshops?
Booking Your Place
Show your unique perspective
Make events unique and special
Channel your drive
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.

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".

Edited GOES West image showing the eastern Pacific Ocean. Hurricane Ana is just south of the Hawaiian Islands. The huge mass of clouds and cold air is easily visible coming from the Arctic Ocean via the Bering Strait. I highlighted Hurricane Ana in red and the clouds from the Arctic in blue. (In the past I would have used Flickr's annotation function but that seems to be no more than a fond memory now.)
