- Timon Krause, Henning Neidhardt (piano & composer) & Kevin Wolf (drums) perform part of their MINDGAMES theater s Timon Krause studied philosophy and works as an entertainer, author and consultant around the world. He specialises in teaching businesses how to use the skillset of a mentalist. Timon is the current holder of the title 'Best European Mentalist' and the youngest mind reader to ever have been awarded this title. Currently, Timon is touring the Netherlands with Henning Neidhardt and Kevin Wolf. Together, they perform their show “MINDGAMES” - a mix of mind reading, music and live hypnosis. Henning Neidhardt works as a pianist and musical director, composing music to fit the occasion. Kevin Wolf makes his living as a drummer and musical coach, specialising in exploring new and uncharted technological territory. Together, Henning Neidhardt and Kevin Wolf create the live soundscapes and specialised underscores during Timon Krause's performances.

if a purple dolphin in a pentagon frame equals 9
*what have i learnt in school*
It's simple math Nicholas... A pink elephant inside a star would equal a totally rigged game.
Nicholas, you haven't learned how to spell, to use capitalization or punctuation.
@@nichmon3221 its wrong of you to assume that. i just type this way, without capitalisation or punctuation
😃😂 if we ever told this to our teachers then they would have kicked us out from class
@@nichmon3221 "Nicholas, you haven't learned how to spell ..."
I don't see anything wrong with his spelling--unless of course he's fixed it since you make that comment.
So he reveals part of a persons bank details and then passes his wallet through a big crowd of random people... 🤨
Ecki Same thought
Nobody would take the card
He's obviously going to check to make sure everything is there right away, so if someone took it, he would call them out right then and there. And as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, he can obviously just change his PIN with a quick call to his bank that night. It's not really a big deal.
You’re right! So naive of him to think he can predict what people will or will not do..
Exactly!!!!
i wish he called me up on the stage so he can say 6969 out loud
well sorry but you wouldn't pass the wild animal - color - shape questions :D
@@1Girl248 jokes on you cause even if I thought of it I wouldn't sit down. Easy game.
@@Redxminder fair enough, i would've just immediately sat down after the first question, because why stand when you can sit
@@1Girl248 makes sense
nice
Who else is reading the comments thinking maybe this was planned out?
Quick, lets play an elimination game where somebody knows to pick other colors and objects and creatures, then "randomly" select them and guess their stuff... then just arbitrarily pick someone from the back and "guess" his pin code? I am so not impressed by this.
This guys used to live in my town and he can do stuff like thid dont ask me how
Both of the guys he picked are definitely plants
100%
This guy did the same show in german „night wash“ and you can see how he gets the wallet out of his own back pocket!!
This dude probably called his bank that night to change his PIN :D
Sure he'd do it
Do you call your bank to change your pin? What kind of bank is that?
hkrohn mafia bank
Nicky Zapp or did he?
@@simonsays3107 *Vsauce theme INTENSIFIES*
if he let the audience decide that who is gonna come, then and only then I believe the show is real...!!!
Hero :D
Sachin Verma engrish?
And even that can be manipulated.
That would make it a very boring show.
An audience takes forever to make that kind of decision.
I have maybe a better idea: he can do like like the bride 👰 in the end of her wedding with a bouquet of flowers. How catchs the bouquet comes on the stage.
I love how he GAVE the wallet to the audience to pass it along
it's Amsterdam. what's gonna happen, they'll drop it or something?
yes, we all saw how he pick pocketed the fellow and obtained all the details.
@@krisoko This is indeed what happened. If you notice, he didn't rad his I.D. he looked at his bank card, and read the I.D. that was next to it. Look carefully. he put the bank card on top of the wallet, pocketed them and then only handed the wallet back- Through the audience- so as to have plausible deniability.
There was music and electric drums... no -way its a heist, right? There's cameras and everything.
@@EighteenCharactershe is very bad at slight of hand tho that’s what he said on multiple videos
"Think of a simple geometric figure" "A pentagon" Sure mate.
lmao this is hilarious
I thought of hexagon. The whole point was not to pick the obvious.
To be fair, I though of an elephant first, then green, and after he said he something about unpredictable minds, I also thought about pentagon
@@fhasgw2398 - If you mumble 'unpredictable' it does sound a little like 'pentagon'. I've noticed Derren Brown use that technique to slip highly incongruous words almost subconsciously into a sentence.
Mumble isn't the right word, but I hope you get my meaning.
I thought of a nonagon. It's a polygon with 11 sides. Get absolutely DEMOLISHED screen guy guy face
I love what the pianist in the back is playing while Timon is cracking the PIN code
This guy has his own 2 person chill band...shouldn't we all have one?
Don Rodrigues: Reminds me of some funny / sarcastic action movie I saw where the protagonist had his own theme music -- 5 musicians followed him around playing typical music appropriate to the given scene.
I think today we can all have something like this called a smart phone with a music app, for example.
“nice and loud, Andrew!”
*three to four claps falter off into silence*
You might have noticed that all answers from out of the auditorium were barely audible. They basically only recorded the speaker's mic and the instruments.
“He’s coming all the way from...
*uh oh if i say england they’ll know
its staged how do i save this*
the back!”
made my day xD
you got it!
That’s exactly what I though! Lol
This guy isn’t English lol
Tor McLean because he lives in England
How is this a TedTalk?
This is a TedX talk, not a Ted talk. They are much much easier to get on.
THANK YOU!!!!
Finally found one that can THINK!
"TED Talks are influential videos from expert speakers on education, business, science, tech and creativity" This seems pretty creative, and its focused on the science of mind reading so I feel like it fits
There was no science of mind reading here. TEDx is just entertainment, not educational or informational.
My mind reading science here
It's called mindgames, and it applies to every moment of this performance. Nothing is random, or not planned.
What if the guy did not had any paper on his card ?
@@TeslaRockin They know each other: it's "staged".
He looks like Prince Charming from Shrek
😑
Which is relevant and all...
And he turns into Lord Fuckwad by the end.
If you like his perm you should see the one on Barry Williams from The Brady Bunch.
++cc
“Is it possible to learn this power?”
“Not from a Jedi.”
Or in this case, A 'Ted-i'
Even if he guessed wrongly I would have said he guessed correctly.
Lol 😆😆😆
Bruh
And if he guessed correctly I would've said that he'd got it wrong.
100%. You are also thinking of the number 9 lol.
Vitabrick Snailslime same
The way the music comes back on after he figures out the number sounds like a movie
Gotta love that intro music
Love his voice
You never told us how though
He showed us. The same way he guessed his birthday. He cheated.
Exactly. He told you, you have to play the mind games from the very beginning. It was staged ;)
Wdym.
Simple. Notice how he forcefully said to look at him? When he went through the numbers, the hand had very little to do with it. He was watching the mouth and eyes. Subtle movements show the performer what the key points are. His statement that when told not to think of something, we immediately think about it, is a huge hint that a moment later when asked not to think about his pin number, he did. His lips would have moved slightly as he mentally read out the number. Performer then only has to watch for the eyes looking slightly away as he reads out the numbers to confirm what he already knows. Takes years to learn to read it fast and precisely, which is why it is so impressive to watch.
gaijininja what time stamp did he say all this? I was under the impression he was going to explain it.
Here is some ACTUAL substance... in the beginning of the actor coming up stage, he was asked, “I assume you have a bank card in your wallet.” 87% of people would at that point bring their attention to their wallet, most going as far as to pay their back pocket. At this point, if it wasn’t staged, the subject would notice his wallet was missing.
Despite the fact that it was staged and the wallet was in the "magician" pocket the entire time
Loved his personality
Why is everyone complaining? Mentalists and magicians NEVER explain how their tricks work. Also, if you watched closely and listened carefully you would have been able to explain his techniques to yourselves. It's very well known how mentalists read and manipulate minds, and Timon is using exactly the same techniques:
1. giving suggestions and watching for physical reactions (e.g. feeling the man's muscle tension in the fingers while counting from 1 to 0),
2. using his knowledge about probabilities (e.g. knowing that many middle-aged men try to trick the mentalist by thinking about the next number in the PIN, or that most people who don't think about a blue lion in a circle are drawn to the number 9).
Of course the first trick could have been set up, but: Timon very impressively showed how predictable humans are, because we all think alike. An example from everyday life: good salespersons read our reactions and know what to say in order to make us buy stuff we actually don't need. (This is pretty much what other TEDx speakers tell us in a very explicit way - and they get praised for it.)
You can learn a lot from his performance if only you were willing to!
How easy it is to integrate one dude out of the audience in the Show beforehand, no other way to find the number 9, there is no logic behind - nice show tho
Like, if he asked numers between 1 - 10, he could guess right at quite an high rate since people most often choose 3 or 7 to make it difficult, but with so many numbers its a different thing, or is it? But no guarantee, im usually not that guy but i genuinly thinks its staged.
I thought of number 9 too
Yeah he was a plant, they both were.
I thought of a purple dolphin in a square and got 9, so I think there is some logic behind it
@@MysticalApple Corelation does not equal causation. You have to consider that over 100 thousand people watched this video. Meaning.... there will be people that have that same thing happen. But there will also be people that have the same thing... but with a 5 instead. Or a 3. Or a 28. Or a 16.
So TED talks are magic shows now??
They have had magicians on many times. TED is an acronym for "Technology, Entertainment, Design." Magic falls under entertainment.
@@michaelrdegroat thats what TED want us to think !!
I don't think it's a TED talk. The scene doesn't have their usual name written on the stage.
This is a TEDx talk; not a TED talk.
What does the E in TED stand for?
he is so fricking smooth, i love it!
"we're in the intimacy of these 600 people"
And everyone else on the internet...
Max Harrell and the rest is history and culture
When Timon isn't mesmerizing audiences with his subliminal magic, he volunteers his hair as a sanctuary for rescue pigeons. What chance did any of you ladies have of not falling in love?
The PIN code is a paid actor
The dramatic music kills it
What showmanship!
i was waiting for a VPN commercial near the end :)))))
I’m also from South Africa 🇿🇦😻❤️
His hair is trying way too hard.
... to get off his head.
Hilarious
its nice
It's apparently working, because you're paying it attention.
Most unpredictable thinkers in the most benign questions
After coming out of Timon's hypnosis, I have strange desire to perm my hair.
I dont even know my pin code, I just know which buttons to press.
This guy is really crazy... Too often seen him doing unbelievable things. Patrick jane ...
Him saying "A purple dolphin framed by a pentagon = 9" is like saying "If a train leaves at 2:30 and arrives at 5:00, what weight is an elephant?".
Also hand touching mind reading is cringe
I loved the jazzy background music, but I'm still skeptical about actually reading someone's mind.
Better he kicks a ball into the crowd and whoever catches it comes up or some such thing 🤔 it would make for a more convincing routine.
Okay so when he snapped I literally for a split second had the image of a lion in my head
"This is how I steal a pin code"
Well if that guy ever tries to high five me, I'll know what he's up to. ;)
Nobody:
Musicians at start: *playing wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town*
It was amazing 😍 😍, how he convinced him to believe something which wasn't true.
Pin code was checked by keeping an eye on his Pulse on his Hand
Purple dolphin guy obviously a stooge - he was deliberately picked.
this is not a TED talk, it is just part of a stage act. This is not HOW he steals a pincode, Just him getting a pin code. A TED talk should teach me something. This taught me nothing. Still clever though.
Yeah, the title should have kinda clued you into that fact, given that it's called "tedx", which is even qualified in the description as an independent Ted talk.
Quit complaining about what it isn't, and appreciate what it is.
these type of ted talks teaches you that not all ted talks will teach you something! You konw, every ted talk teaches you somethoing!
TED is an acronym for "Technology, Entertainment, Design." This would fit under the entertainment category.
tim shaw the title says “this is how I steal a PIN code” not “how to steal a PIN code”
There is something to learn in everything, it's just where you find it
What if this was a con to get access to the 2nd guy's wallet?
Thank you
Thanks bro!
So how did he do it? Or am I the only one interested to know?
he just knew two guys in the audience.
@@dopefish86 No no, It's called muscle-reading. Tiny movements you automatically make when thinking about a movement. And you can pick those up. You can even see this when he is saying the numbers and moving a different finger which each number. Andrew (?) is now thinking about his (for example) thumb because it's associated with the number he tries to not think about. No he is trying to not think about the number and he is trying to not move his thumb and this is actually pretty easy (when compared to other mind-reading tricks).
@@ansems3309 still think it is fake :D I know muscle reading exists but I don't think it works like this. Not everybody associates his fingers with numbers or would even think about not moving a part of their body.
@@germansniper5277 Well, with just one hand for 10 numbers, it doesn't matter which finger you is triggered, I assume. More importantly, he's telling the numbers loudly as he's doing the trick.
@@germansniper5277 That's misdirection. He was probably reading his face or something. Don't know if it's fake or not though
When he said think of a blue elephant an apple popped into my head
Oh, so your password must be "Saggyfroggy21"
bRUH
I have to wonder what would happen if during the PIN code game, Andrew had started thinking about things that were not digits, and continuously changed the thing thought about?
I have to say, it was a nice show. It's just entertainment, but... Andrew, who came "all the way" from Engla... i mean, the back, was probably well aware of what was gonna happen. Not saying he's part of the group of performance but maybe he was picked out beforehand and told to act like the number was his PIN. So many options here. I'd be impressed if they convinced me that the guy was chosen completely random (by the audience for example).
Also, this aint no TED talk. This is just a show.
If I was asked what the first digit of my pin code is I wouldn't know. I only know the shape it makes on the keypad.
The top row of numbers on a phone (or ATM) keypad is 1, 2, 3.
On a calculator keypad, the top row of numbers is 7, 8, 9.
Once, I was at an ATM, and instead of punching in the "phone" shape for the amount I wanted to withdraw, I punched in the "calculator" shape for the amount (because money = math = calculator), and then I wondered why the machine didn't dispense my money. Fortunately, I figured out what I had done wrong, and was then able to get my money.
Andrew was mugged later that evening.
When he said 9 😮 I was mind blown 🤯 I was thinking of the number 9...
This guy is so accurate
Just me or a coincidence that Andrew was coming “all the way” from the back and turned out he was travelling from England
This is EXACTLY when I knew this was bs. Gotta love someone who is supposedly informing you about psychology gives a Freudian slip.
He could've said that just for the fact that he was gonna take a while to reach the stage and people were already clapping.
@@TheLuizSouza yeah, its too small to be a 100% or even a 90%
this was probably faked though.
This is how I get locked up after giving a TedTalk
Put a space between locked and up
Ciaran Hogenboom it was a typo
@@Himechinachae you don't have much space if you're lockedup tho
Elrotos LOOOOO
Ciaran Hogenboom thanks thought it needed to be attached
My mouth opened when he said dolphin, me too. Just not the other ones tho. This is cool
He knew both people
I am from South Africa too, I chose magenta( basically purple) a dolphin, a hexagon(close to a pentagon) and my number was also nine! Haha
I’m willing to put money down that the speaker and the guy in the pattern shirt are friends or at least know each other
No he is stranger keep 0.25x at 5:14 and see
Then sadly you would lose your money
He is so in love with himself
Perfect
This is amazing. I truly do believe that this is real and l enjoyed this performance very much!
In case you missed it he told you this was only entertainment. Not mind reading.
Best tip in the last 10 seconds!!
Timon is brilliant. But the Piano OMG The piano is delicious.
Timon should come out on stage with a bird in his hair and not even mention it to the audience. If that couldn't make the audience happy then I just don't know what will.
Looks like one might be in there already. Dudes hair is crazy looking lol
I’ve been doing that hand thing with my friends since 6th grade. So I could look cool that I guessed there number they where thinking about.
thank you so being here
How i steal your PIN code: Buy you a ticket to Timon;s show and bribe him to pick you😎
PIN Code: Personal Identification Number Code
Almost as bad as saying ATM machine
If he could tell me how many people in that audience are high I'd really be impressed.
Admired
Amazing music
Maybe you enjoy 'gogo penguin' as well then.
The stage: *literally has musicians on it *
People in the comments: hm I wonder if this is staged??
good one
Wer ist hier nachdem er Timon bei Joko und Klaas und/oder Late Night Berlin gesehen hat?
Benedict Cumberbatch really is a magician.
Andrew will be changing his pin code after this
This one and the hypnotism one bothers me for some reason. Seems so staged
It might’ve been staged, but he did seem to be using real techniques in these two vids. Associating a response with a trigger (the first vid) is a common hypnosis technique. The finger-pushing thing in this vid, while typically done with the mark’s extended arm, is a way to tell if they agree or disagree with a simple statement, which is why he led with “is your number...” and then counted up. Each finger push told him yes or no to the individual number he called while pressing, though doing it with multiple fingers was just for show. He could’ve just repeatedly pressed the same finger while counting up and gotten the same results.
Though the point of this one is that it *was* rigged. He had the second guy’s wallet.
@@chroni3659 and conveniently left out the important question: "are you one of those twits who has their PIN on a sticky note in their wallet?"
Clever magic trick, though the steps are fairly obvious to those who know similar tricks. Unfortunately, this was more of a magic show than a TED talk
this is the craziest smosh skit i’ve seen
Guy: *reads minds*
Crowd: *clapping*
The guys in the back : G R O O V I N
You know a magician has fooled you when everyone in the comments claimed he used stooges.
You know he fooled you when you believe they weren’t planted. If magicians are happy for the audience member to be random they would let the audience choose them lol
So by your reckoning, if Penn and Teller called him out for using stooges, then they were actually fooled???
That trick was so lame, it wouldnt have made it past the first audition on P&T.
If this show were in Italy, when he gave back the wallet to the audience in irder to give it back to the owner, you know what would happen
Timon Krause would be an excellent Bond villain.
Even if he gave me the correct answer I would still say No just to keep our talks long. 🤣😍❤️
He is fine.😍😍
I sense a bit of this being staged paired with overwhelming boredom while watching
To succeed in trading options, you must learn to manage your risk exposure intelligently.
That's why I always advise traders to invest with Mr Gabriel Johnson's platform. On his platform I never experience any issues of re-quote or fake slippage.
Started trading offshore with Mr Gabriel Johnson when i was at work, but i only see nothing but alerts ever since i was referred to him
Nothing to worry when trading with Mr Gabriel Johnson, i'm so glad to see different people who are his students here it gives me joy . Still short of words to thanks you sir.
Hey bots,Wrong video
He even got musicians for this
The music is so random!
At 5:47 he takes the id out of the wallet before putting them into his back pocket. At 9:19 he only takes out the wallet, and not the id!!!
He actually stole the id!
TED went from Informative interesting, to visually interesting to just being similar to Las Vegas Magic Shows
Yes officer , this is the guy
Ayy Andrew representing!!🇿🇦✌🏻
