| Hi, | At Mindsways we combine how the Mind is Swayed and influenced with how the mind works, or the Minds Ways. This mixture is what is at the heart of the SNT kit. For more on this and information about the kit, please see mindsways.com/SNT/ Mindsways' approach involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. This is what I call Psychological Artistry. The principles and lessons involved in Psychological Artistry are useful in understanding our belief systems, our perceptions and how we think and behave. | | Over the past 18 months I have been supplying the SNT kit to people from around the world. I am really pleased with the feedback we have been receiving, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) see what people say by going to mindsways.com/WPS/ Neuromagic and Sherlock As is often pointed out in portrayals of Sherlock Holmes; "we see but do not observe". Our cognitive biases distort and filter how we think constantly. We are always under control of stereotyping, conformational bias, default effects and much more, basically as magicians know;
"we cannot believe what we see but we see what we believe"
The good news is that we do not need to be at the mercy of these thinking fallacies. As neuroscience shows us, we can change. Some go as far as to say that we actually have "infinite plasticity". In other words, there is no limit to how much we can change ourselves and how we think.
Neuromagic is brand new field of neuroscience that is being used to understand how magic changes us. This in turn informs how we think, how we see the world and what we believe about ourselves and others. For just one example of how magic is being used with neuroscience to study Change Blindness, go to mindsways.com/SNT#Neuromagic
The SNT kit uses the principle that "all is not as it appears" to be able to illustrate how we see the world. This in turn affects how we act, think and behave, just as the study of neuromagic shows us. The SNT kit has the tools built within it for us to change, to make use of the "infinite plasticity" we all have and to do so with entertaining and enlightening ways.

Theater of the Mind
In the kit and the supporting DVD, we uncover the principles behind our perceptions, how we see the world and how those affect our thinking and belief systems. We look at making the materials into something that works for you, using these three levels:
- Effects of Materials - triggers "how did that happen?"
- Analysis of Materials - triggers "what does this mean for me?"
- Practicality of Materials - explores how you can use the materials
This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. The principles and lessons are useful in understanding our belief systems, how we think and act. It is in our minds that we experience emotions, thoughts and actions. These are in turn determined by the silent questions we ask ourselves.
The SNT kit is used as a reflection of how the mind works. We use the 3 levels above as a lens to increase our understanding how our minds control our actions, emotions and thoughts. It is through this that our minds tell us stories that justify our actions. For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SNT/ What People Say
The feedback from people around the world have been extremely positive, with them saying things like: - "It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"
- "A great eye opener!"
- "Thank you, the SNT Kit has certainly proved to be an invaluable tool for my work"
The SNT kit provides an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more of what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/ What is Psychological Artistry? There are many definitions of psychology, some people will say it's about interpreting thoughts, influencing people's behaviour or getting a better understanding of motivation. It is all of these and more, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".
Next is the artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of: - Creating connection, rapport and emotions
- Telling stories
- Gaining and holding attention
- Producing insights
- Displaying human nature
- Cognition
- Show, Not Tell
- Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)
Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.
The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the materials in the SNT kit, but the effect that the delivery of these have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch and firing off the silent questions. In the SNT kit, we give you the materials, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies.
In the kit and its DVD, we work with the theme of "all is not as it appears". Please take a look here at these examples: the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. You can see them by going to mindsways.com/SNT/#PsychologicalArtistry.
By delivering this kind of material, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the kit with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the theater of the minds. For more information, please see mindsways.com/SNT/
