Carl Swindler is a mind-reader, psychological illusionist and corporate event speaker who has entertained and amazed audiences all over the country. He has the power to get inside a person's head, hypnotize them, manipulate and control their thoughts and even the ability to "implant" ideas into their psyche. He observes body language, analyzes facial expressions and uses his psychological techniques to predict and read people's minds.
Carl Swindler offers $60,000 payable to charity, if anyone can prove he employs paid assistants or confederates from the audience in any phase of his show.
Because Carl Swindler is an expert at memorizing decks of cards, he once bet $20 at a blackjack table and won $7,400 before busting a hand. He knows when other players are bluffing in a poker game and even has the ability to predict/manipulate their behavior. Basically, casinos are worried that he will use his skills to tilt the odds to his advantage and win large amounts of money by lowering the house edge.
As a psychoanalytic psychiatrist, I was quickly impressed with the mentalist Carl Swindler's skill of figuring out and deducing personal information from just looking at a person. He's very good at drawing logical conclusions based on noticing the smallest details and then making reasonably accurate educated guesses that are relied upon statistics, law of averages, and keen observation. During the evening of his show, I watched as he inspected random people on stage that he's just met, and with no way of knowing, he made correct deductions about their lives like asking one woman if she enjoyed her recent trip to Maui with her sister, she was speechless. He explained that it was due to the fact that both her and her sister had the same distinctive tan, style of clothes, and scent of perfume commonly sold in the Island. As a psychiatrist I was skeptical of these far-fetched assumptions, however, based on my experience, Carl Swindler is really a modern-day Sherlock Holmes.
From what I've seen, Carl Swindler commands everyone's attention, establishes trust and develops rapport, then he studies each persons personality to determine how he'll control their subconscious to put them under a trance by using suggestion and hypnotic language patterns.
Carl Swindler is a master manipulator of people's thoughts, he's very skilled at reading body language to know what you're thinking. I assume he also uses other techniques like suggestion and persuasion to make you think of whatever he wants. Most of his ability to read minds is all about psychology.
