    Magic and Mentalism. For the past few months I've been teaching my son new Jedi Mind Tricks.

    Creative minds in the field of magic and mentalism are constantly coming up with better ways to fool the senses.

    When everything is boiled down to the basics in magic, you have just a few principles that makes Sylvia Browne and James van Pragh so effective in front of
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    an audience. They are the same things that makes David Copperfield and Lance Burton appear to be able to make things vanish and reappear before your very eyes.

    One principle is that of misdirection.

    For example- I perform one card "trick" (it's an illusion) where a selected card disappears from the deck and appears underneath a plate, surrounded by strangers a
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    nd no friends to help.

    I'm not sleight of hand expert.

    I simply practiced the elements of this effect over and over, hundreds of times. The entire success or failure of the illusion rests in a one second moment where everyone's eyes must be away from the plate.

    Someday I'm sure I'll be found out on this illusion (it truly is magical to have not only mind read
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    ing but telekinesis going down all at the same time!). I'm just not that good.

    Misdirection is the critical factor in many magic "tricks" and "illusions."

    The ability to know how their human brain will react and respond to your instructions....every time...or close enough to every time that you'll never be seen as anything other than astonishing.

    There are a
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    few other factors in magic that can be drawn upon to make something appear from nowhere. Concealment for example.

    Concealment comes into play in many illusions and magic tricks.

    The better one can conceal the more astonishing the illusion.

    Like these elements that give you the pieces to create and design a magic trick, you can also use generalizations about h
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    ow people will react in certain environments, given certain stimuli.

    Magic IS Persuasion.

    Persuasion can be magical.

    In both magic and persuading others, you *must* know what people will do in specific scenarios and be able to predict those behaviors or actions.

    You have to be operating at a high level of certainty as an expert persuader and as a magician. (
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    I'll spare the argument they are one and the same...they are close enough.) I know very few people who are extremely persuasive who do not have a strong interest in magic.

    I know of no one in magic who doesn't have a scientific mind...the ability to predict outcomes given a certain set of controlled variables...and do it almost flawlessly...and the ability to r
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    everse engineer RESULTS and BEHAVIORS and ACTIONS back into causes for the effects....for THAT is what a magician is.

    The psychic does this as well. They simply are disingenuous about the story they present.

    Research is at the core of success for all magicians and all those who persuade.

    Those who have the best information inevitably become the better magicia
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    ns.

    Those who understand what the audience will look at, look for and pay attention to will become masters.

    Those who create their illusions in a way that creates a natural flow of occurrences so the audience always feels that everything that is happening...is happening naturally...they are the masters...here the audience suspends criticism and lowers their de
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    fenses. They now want to be a part of the experience.

    And so it is with the master persuader.

    A natural flow of occurrences however demands that the performer and the master persuader work within the construct of how his audience thinks and feels. He has to know what they will look at and think and why. Only then can he create magic.

    It's absolutely necessary that the Master assume nothing and set aside all instincts and intuitions.

    Like the magician, if the salesperson or manager, "goes with their gut," they will fail.

    Obviously it requires 367 people in a room before you can GUARANTEE that two people will have the same birthday. But how many people does it take in the s

    And when you place two quarters heads up, side by side, touching each other so that Washington is looking straight left on both coins...now you rotate one coin while it remains in contact with the other quarter. You rotate 180 degrees. (Going from 9:00

    The answer is of course that gut instinct is not very helpful. In fact, people who follow their gut turn out to be the failures of life.

    That's it. Mentalists and magicians are all aware of this and when they find themselves in a room of 40 people the odds are overwhelming that two of the 40 will share the same birthday...thus able to create the illusion of coincidence, synchronicity...when it's nothing of the sort.

    People are very predictable becau

    Common sense and instinct might be great for some things...but it is pretty useless for thinking.

    People "think" in "rules of thumb." They make wild assumptions that in the moment "feel right" based on their gut and little else.
