What is Mentalism
Mentalism is an old concept. It is considered to be an art performed by Mentalist or Psychic people. However, today it is known that Mentalism does not involve super natural element. But people through practice develop high mental or one can say intuitive abilities. Mentalism now is studied as a branch of psychology. It is a study of how ones mental processes work. The concept of mentalism has been beautifully weaved in the top rated TV soaps in New York Mentalist and Psych.
Plot of Mentalist
The TV soap of New York Mentalist was released in 2008. It centers on Patrick Jane, who is a consultant and helps California Bureau of Investigations in solving homicide cases. He is known for using unconventional methods and taking notice of seemingly minute details.
He starts his career as con man and claims to use psychic abilities in solving crime cases. This results in a revenge act by a serial killer who murders Patrick’s family. After which Patrick leaves his career as con man accepts that he was faking psychic abilities, and claims "there's no such thing as psychics".
He then joins CBI where he gets the opportunity to further his skills of cold reading, pick pocketing, understanding human psyche. It is the use of bizarre methods, various ruses and mind games in solving cases and making suspects confess that has drawn huge audiences and made the New York Mentalist a hit.
