Hello.

I was wandering how do you present yourself when performing mentalism? Do you make out you have real powers like you were born with it or discoverd it at an early age or became psychic after a car crash or some other bogus story?
Or do you say, "Hey, this is all just a trick, I'm not psychic". Do you tell them that it's just special knowledge or that your just one step ahead of them or that you are thinking ahead of them?
Or do you make out it's all psycological pricipals and influences, et?

Whatever you answer would you please say what type of mentalism you perform, for example, would nail writers and trick envelopes really go with the latter presentation?

Thanks,

John.
