Being a mind mover gives you power. You get to know what
other people think and you try to create series of illusions to confuse their
mind. After doing so, you can manipulate their mind and control them for a
period of time. That’s what I thought. But seriously, what is a mind mover?
What do they do and why are they called such?
Like a
teacher, mind movers try to integrate new knowledge to their guests/students by
sharing their thoughts and background about a particular subject, say chemistry
and physics. But, they are not the
typical instructors who keep on feeding you a lot of information until your
brain shuts down. Instead, they will try to move you, physically and mentally.
They will encourage you to inquire more about your environment by enticing your
mind to scientific concepts. They do this by carrying out an experiment using
ordinary tools and perform a seemingly magic show. For instance, they will use
ethyl alcohol on money and try to burn it. Without doubt, it will burn. That’s
how normal people, especially kids, predict it. Fortunately, it won’t. Because
of some scientific concepts, a five hundred pesos bill would not burn because
of fire if it is applied with ethyl alcohol and water. But, the most important
part of this show is the explanation why such thing occurred. Is it black magic
or science? This initiation in the concept will garner curiosity to the
viewers. And, this curiosity will, hopefully, move the people to act to satisfy
their questions in mind.
What
made mind movers a distinct type of teachers is their unique process of
teaching their students. Usually, teachers will try to input new information
without the students being engaged with it. For example, a type of combustion
is being discussed without the students seeing the process itself, from start
to end. On the other hand, mind movers will let you experience the process
itself, such as pressure, by being able to see it effect on a container, for
instance. Personally, this method seems effective because it turns on the start
of every educational adventure. Instead of answers, they give the guests
questions to explore.
