A powerful and simple idea from poet and writer Samuel Beckett, a beautiful notion that unites as human beings through the language of mystery, silence.
The concept of silence is a powerful language that as Mystery Performer opens up a plethora of wonderful possibilities. Being able to hold silence as a dramatic tool is an essential skill for any Magician and Mentalist. Apply conscious silence while reading your participant´s mind is one of the factors that separates a cool trick and a genuine experience of telepathy.
If you want to learn more about silence in Mentalism I recommend you to study "Scripting for Mystery Performers" and "The Path of Mystery"
If you enjoy Music, the work of John Cage is also inspiring to understand the power of silence.
