Mentalists generally do not mix "standard" magic tricks with their mental feats. Doing so associates mentalism too closely with the theatrical trickery employed by stage magicians. Many mentalists claim not to be magicians at all, arguing that it is a different art form altogether.

Many magicians, however, mix mentally themed performance with magic illusions. For example, a mind-reading stunt might also involve the magical transposition of two different objects. Such hybrid feats of magic are often called mental magic by performers. Magicians who routinely mix magic with mental magic include David Copperfield, David Blaine and Criss Angel.

How can you become a mentalist?

You need lots of practice for starters. If you try to "train" yourself to be a mentalist it won't work. To be a mentalist you need to be an observer. Don't butt into people's conversations. Watch how people react to certain things you say or do and just basically people watch. Make it a game or a hobby and you'll be a pro in no time!

Who wrote the theme tune to The Mentalist?

Blake Neely's webpage is http://www.cowonthewall.com/projects/mentalist/ . He's the composer. I listened to his tracks from his page and Track 10 - Ep 103: Keys Trick sounds very very very much like the opening sequence. I believe that's it. However, his track titled I Believe - Theme from The Mentalist is there.
