Note: This is a standard mentalism/magic routine often attributed to Ian Clarke in the context of street magic and close-up performance. It is a variation of classic "stuck hands" effects used by hypnotists and magicians for decades.

Clarke distinguishes between logic (the "web of talk") and a more direct, emotional, and sensory way of experiencing the world. Hypnosis aims to bypass the "web of talk" to reach this deeper experience. 2. The Psychosis-Spirituality Link
