Mentalist Jonathan Pritchard explains how he convinces people he can read minds by using the same psychological techniques employed by sales, marketing, and other business leaders.\r\n\r\nJonathan has appeared on America's Got Talent, entertained United States troops stationed overseas, and performed on main stages in Las Vegas.
