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!

How do magicians like chris angel do the white death buried alive trick?
Like all of Criss' tricks there is an enormous amount of preplanning. The coffin is reinforced. The hole was dug 3 feet lower than what we were able to see. There was a 6x4 foot reinforced area that was dug to the side below the coffin. The side of the coffin has a break away panel. When the coffin is completely covered Criss acts as if he is trying to break the reinforced glass. He never breaks through. The cameras are cut in post production. After the camera is cut he opens the side of the coffin and pulls a hidden lever. The lever pulls the drop panels below him that hold the coffin. The coffin drops 3 feet creating the illusion that the hole has caved in and crushed him. Criss then rolls out of the coffin through the side of the coffin's break away side panel. He waits inside the reinforced area adjacent the coffin. He has warming devices here as well as an oxygen tank, mask and waterproof transmitter so he can communicate with his crew above. Criss waits for 45 minutes and begins his dig. The snow is loose so it isn't hard to move. He uses thermal gloves and digging scoops to move the snow. He uses a board to lodge above his head so the snow does not cave in before it is supposed to. One minute before the hour is up, Criss removes his gloves and stashes everything beneath him. He listens for a verbal cue from the crew above and he sticks his hand through the snow. Miracle.

When you wish from a star will it come true?
Its is true that shooting stars cannot grant wishes on their own. They are like cars, they need a driver to reach their destination. But for me a wish is more likely to come true if you wish on normal stars as well as shooting ones. In the evening when I see the first star of the night I say "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Then make your wish. Keep trying and you'll find it motivates yourself to make your wish true yourself no matter how hard. :)

Is there really a difference?
I have heard that black magic is normally used for your own personal gain. In other posts, I have heard that Dark magic is just the element used whether for the greater good or for the natural evil. For instance, a so called magician would use the element of darkness to dispel a possible "light elemental". But those of black magic could be seen arrogantly producing wealth and power for their own satisfaction. This is what I could come up with. I am wondering about others interpretations and comparisons of dark and black magic.
