Hi,
Over the past two years we have worked with hundreds of people on the “Art of Showing”. This means using techniques that tap into the “Personal Touch”, bridge the “Innovation Gap” and ways that grab and hold attention. A large part of this has been using the SNT (Show Not Tell) kit. Successful communication is won by creating a compelling message, the SNT kit has certainly managed to do this. From feedback, we've seen there are three key aspects that achieve this;
1. The SNT kit runs on the Show, Not Tell Principle
2. The SNT kit has a universal appeal
3. The SNT kit provides fast and effective ways to make you memorable
This means that you can have a very powerful tool with you always (it easily fits into your pocket or bag) and enables you to deliver highly effective messages. To see more about the kit as an overall, please look at mindsways.com/SNT/.
Understanding how powerful a role illusions can play in our life is extremely important. We can get dragged into the illusion that we cannot change ourselves, and this can affect us very deeply. We have to keep in mind that these beliefs are based on neuro-pathways that have wired themselves together in our past, and though they may even dominate our thoughts now, brain plasticity means we do not have to have this in our future. To see more about this, please mindsways.com/SNT#InfiniteMind
The SNT kit, clearly illustrates that this previous wiring does not have to equal the future. It clearly shows us that we cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe. Because of this, the SNT kit has a universal appeal, and better yet, you can take it with you wherever you go so it can be used in;
- A coaching environment
- A business meeting
- An advertising pitch
- A get together with friends
- Your own persona development
- An unforeseen opportunity
Our mind is our greatest strength, but is also the root of many of our flaws and weaknesses. We are emotional beings and do not always follow logic and critical thinking. However, logic and critical thinking are learned skills that still play an important role in our lives. This is another benefit of using the SNT kit, because logic and critical thinking are skills and abilities that can be deliberately practised and developed through the materials in the kit.

The real power of the SNT kits lies not with just the tricks and illusions, but the effect that the delivery of these have on people. Delivering these effects, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks, illusions and cognitive challenges with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the minds of others. To see what other people say please look at mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/
To start with there are many definitions of psychology, but the one that sums it up for me is “the science of how we think”. Next is the Artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:
- Creating connection, rapport and emotions
- Telling stories
- Gaining and holding attention
- Producing insights
- Displaying human nature
- Cognition
- Show, Not Tell
- Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI’s)
Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.
Interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman’s “The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect”, a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. Please take a look here or go to mindsways.com/SNT. These illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. I would love to know what you think.
This SNT kit is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking. The feedback from our workshops and has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes.
We know that this is a non-traditional approach. That is where its power lies, however. For many of those who have attended previous workshops, this is an experiment. To see what people have said see mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/.
The approach we take is about using these ideas and techniques to add the SNT principle and value to your delivery. At the basic level, using these ideas and techniques makes us stand out and grabs people’s interest and attention. By integrating Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry with the SNT kit, you will certainly introduce mystery and intrigue, whether at a business meeting, a coaching session, a presentation or in your personal life.
The Show Not Tell is for people who are curious, who want to learn attention-grabbing techniques, who want to improve how they connect and communicate with others and for those who want to express who they are and stand out from the crowd.
It is about adding a whole new tool set and training you to be able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry so you can amplify what you do.
