Oh a mentalist!

Out of curiosity, exactly what do you think that means?


It seems to be IMM-word-of-the-month.

Dictionary.com gives two definitions:

1. Parapsychological activities, such as telepathy and mind reading.
2. The belief that some mental phenomena cannot be explained by
physical laws.

The Concise OED also has two:

Mentalism n. (Philos.) doctrine that mind, and not the material world,
is real; (Psych.) doctrine that the mind may be studied by
introspection; so ~ist(2) n.
