			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a look at this picture, spend around 30 seconds looking at it. Can you spot the furry feline? Most people wont, especially given the rather short time limit. Those that do tend to be very visual and creative learners, being able to focus on the larger picture as opposed to getting bogged down with the smaller details.

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>The Real Paragraph</strong></span></p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. Using the incredible power of the human brain, according to research at Cambridge University, it doesn&#8217;t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total, mess and you can read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing, huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important! See if your friends can read this too!</p>
<p>Tihs bcaeme vrial troghuh eiaml a cueolp of yreas bcak. Aodccring to caimbgdre uinseitvry it wsnat prat of tiehr atcual recraesh but was a good haox. Its a vrey ientestnirg ccenopt and hihgtlgihs jsut how flexlibe our midns can be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In February, Looch was hired by the Newark Round Table to perform at a private party at a well known restaurant in Lincoln.<a href="http://www.looch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/roundtable_huge.jpg" rel="lightbox[1507]" title="here"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1508" title="Round Table Logo" src="http://www.looch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/roundtable_huge.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="246" /></a> Looch focused on psychological demonstrations throughout the night, reading the members facial expressions and body language to tell which of 52 playing cards they were just thinking of.</p>
<p>Looch would go on to also duplicate unseen drawings and answer questions that were never verbalised,  just thought of, all with incredible accuracy.</p>
<p>Members of the Round Table and their partners could hardly believe what they were seeing and hearing as Looch spent the majority of the evening mingling with them between courses. One of the members even challenged Looch to guess how much money he had in his wallet, Looch took out one of his business cards and wrote £75 on it, he handed it to the member and the look on his face told the story. He was 100%correct.</p>
<p>Looch&#8217;s unique brand of mind reading and psychological magic certainly impressed and left them with something to talk about.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote boxed"><p>Great party fun and entertainment! Really enjoyed it</p></div> Newark Round Table</p>

Looch was hired as the sole Meet &amp; Greet entertainer and left their guests stunned, amazed and speechless. The majority of guests were international and with English not necessarily their preferred spoken tongue, Mind Reading was the universal language of the night.</p>
<p>Severel of the CME Groups clients wanted to use Looch&#8217;s uncanny skills in their own sales departments as he mingled with guests in the nightclub reading minds and performing his own exclusive brand of mind magic. The guests were thoroughly entertained and enquired whether Looch would be avaliable for hire at their own functions in the near future.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote boxed"><p>We booked Looch to entertain our important clients at a recent party in London, He was professional, polite, and blew us all away with his incredible mind reading skills.

<p>In late December 2011, The Newark Advertiser issued a challenge to Nottinghamshire based mind reader Looch. They wanted to put his skills to the test by having him predict the final score of a Rugby match between Newark RUFC &amp; Melton Mowbray. The match was to be played on the afternoon of Saturday 7th January 2012, upon agreeing to the challenge a series of stipulations were given to ensure everything was fair and to eliminate the possibility of trickery. These were the stipulations put on Looch:</p>
<ul>
<li>The prediction must be delivered on the morning of the match</li>
<li>The prediction must be sealed in an envelope</li>
<li>The prediction would be held over night by the Nottinghamshire Police</li>
<li>The envelope would have identifiable markings placed on it by the police</li>
<li>The envelope would be placed inside a tamper proof evidence bag</li>
<li>The Prediction would be kept secure in a time lock vault</li>
<li>Looch would not be allowed to touch the time lock vault</li>
<li>Looch would not be allowed to the Rugby match</li>
<li>Looch would not be told the score of the match until the prediction had been opened</li>
<li>The prediction itself would be removed from inside the envelope by a reporter from the Advertiser</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;">The scene was set</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Looch began working on his prediction, researching the previous scores of both teams. On form, Newark seemed the likely choice to win and they had won many of their league matches by a high and convincing score. Of course, the more wins a team generates, its only a matter of time before they lose and although Meltons previous ten games showed several losses themselves, it was entirely possible they could provide an upset on the 7th.</p>
<p>In the week leading up to the match, the weather in the Newark area was unsettled and playing havoc with the prediction. Drop goals and conversions would have to be re-evaluated due to the high wind. Would the score be as high as previous games?</p>
<p>On Thursday 5th January, The Newark Advertiser ran a small one paragraph article announcing that Looch had accepted the challenge and the outcome would be recorded for a larger feature to be published the week after the match on Thursday 12th January.</p>
<p>Unbeknown to the Advertiser, Looch had already made his prediction on Wednesday 4th January, He had sealed it in a bubble wrapped envelope and dated it. He then went online and uploaded a video to YouTube discussing his thoughts and subsequent outcome of the game.

He was greeted by a representative from the Advertiser and Sergeant Mortimore who took Looch upstairs into a secure evidence room. The prediction was handed over to the Sergeant who marked the envelope for identification. The markings were in the form of a drawing, specifically a box.</p>
<p>Once the envelope had been marked, the envelope was then sealed inside a tamper proof evidence bag which was sealed and then locked into a time lock safe. At no point during this did Looch have any control as to what markings were put on the envelope and which safe the prediction was the be locked into.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.looch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/safe.jpg" rel="lightbox[1412]" title="<strong>The Prediction</strong>&#8220;><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1422" title="safe" src="http://www.looch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/safe-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Sergeant Mortimore announced that the prediction would be kept inside the safe overnight and the password needed to unlock the safe was only known to her. She informed Looch and the Advertiser that she would meet us the next morning for the revealing of the prediction.</p>
<p>The match was to kick off at 2:15pm that afternoon, Looch was not allowed at the match and instead was invited to an interview by the Ashton family for the In-touch Community magazine.</p>
<p>He returned the police station at 9:30am on Sunday 8th January to reveal the prediction to a reporter, photographer and Sergeant Mortimore. Looch was not allowed to remove the prediction from the safe. The tamper proof evidence bag was checked and cut open to remove the bubble wrapped envelope. This was checked and confirmed by the police that there were no signs of tampering. The envelope was finally cut open, and the contents removed by reporter Andrew Miller.</p>
