The Vanishing & Appearing Dots

Focussing on an individual dot will trick your mind into think the others in the grid are changing black or flashing.

The Movement Illusion

Staring at this one will make you think the whole image is morphing and changing shape. I see a ring sometimes, what about you?

The Green Dot Illusion

Is that a Green dot circling around? Stare at the black cross for a few moments and become aware of the green dot that is apparently rotating around the screen, all of a sudden the pink dots will begin to fade and disappear. This is the illusion, if you move your eyes again they will reappear. this is whats know as the “Negative Retinal Afterimage” This illusion was designed by Jeremy L Hinton in the UK.

It has been a wonderful start to 2013 for Looch – Mind Reader who specialises in providing entertainment to Corporate and Private events all over the UK. To watch Looch in action visit the Videos and be sure to check out his impressive Testimonials.

Most people when organising an event will consider the traditional entertainment options such as singers and magicians. Very rarely will an organiser consider something different. This is where Looch comes in, the perfect option for an event that requires something unique and modern.

Looch has been invited to perform his incredible form of psychological mind reading all over Chesterfield and the surrounding Derbyshire areas in venues such as the Peak Edge Hotel, Shottle Hall, Ringwood Hall & Sitwell Hall.

The guests were treated to some wonderful sleight of hand magic provided by Rahul & James from the university’s Magic Society. These guys dazzled the guests with their traditional magic and dexterity and provided a most appropriate and welcoming warm up.  After a 2 dinner course dinner, Looch was introduced and performed his brand new after dinner act. The show included demonstrations of Mind Reading and Influence culminating in a numerical finale. This featured a prediction that had been in full view of the audience from the start of the evening. The prediction clearly showed 6 Lotto numbers that had been called out by audience members throughout the show.

The evening proved a huge success raising over £1000 to the charity. Graham Riche from the Nottinghamshire Freemasons wrote:

These blog entries will cover a wide range of ideas and concepts from all over the world.  If you enjoy them, like always please share them or connect other people to them via the social media bar at the bottom of the post. Thanks!

The first theory that will be blogged is something called:

The Stereotype Threat

Here’s an example, A group of friends are playing a game of football in a field on a summers day. There is a mixture of male and female friends playing. One of the girls steps up to kick a penalty.

In her mind is a tiny, niggling feeling that the male friends think she is going to mess up the kick. Their belief is a result of a huge over generalisation but nevertheless the girl is rather anxious that if she does mess the penalty up, then it only serves to reinforce the sexist assumptions of the males present.

Her own anxiety will regardless have an effect on her performance. This is a self fulfilling effect commonly known n Psychology as “The Stereotype Threat”

This theory was first introduced in the mid 1990′s by Joshua Aronson & Claude Steele. They had discovered that Black participants tended to perform worse at a specific intelligence test. The test had been described to them as a “test of ability” rather than, like others, “an investigation into problem solving”

Since this research, this theory has been documented in relation to other contexts for example:

• Gender bias
• Mental Illness
• Male Vs Female in competitions
• Specific illness’s Vs …

Brief examples are:

Female Chess players will under perform when they “think” they are performing against males (Computer chess, where the human opponent isn’t present)

Schizophrenia patients who think their condition has been revealed to other people will tend to behave more awkwardly (even when their condition hasn’t been revealed)

Below is a brief video of Claude Steele explaining the effects of TST on peoples functioning.
