Mentalist

Competency - influencing skills.

An illusionist whose performance appears to demonstrate exceptional mental powers, often including mind-reading.

Go big

"Our closing presentation came from David Meade, a former university lecturer-turned-mentalist.

Beyond the clever party tricks and mind games, there was a clear message: influencing people is a serious business and knowing how to get someone to say yes shouldn't be left to chance.

Among the revelations: it is always better to deliver bad news early, or go big on a project request."

The Treasurer magazine, August 2018, p11 - Peter Matza, speakers chair, Association of Corporate Treasurers.
