A Popular Sideshow
Mind reading has been a sideshow attraction for many years, having roots
in ancient times with divination and soothsaying. Today, many are amazed
by the workings of illusionists – people who use various forms of
subterfuge and basic psychology to give the illusion of mind reading.
But what if it were possible that someone could not simply read a
general idea from your mind, but could instead know the entirety of the
very thoughts we hold most private. Such a person would know the whole
truth about you, knowing your true intentions, opinions, and
preferences. They would also know your secrets – the hidden shadows of
our own personal closets.
