Saw a trick on TV, I want to say 8-10 years ago. A magician gave a group of 5-6 people sitting around a table a sealed envelope which was said to describe who they were. After each person opened the envelope and read the 6-12 page document, they were amazed how correct he was. Especially amazed, since they never spoke a word to the magician, nor have they met each of the other people surrounding the table.
Then he had each person give their envelope to the person next to them, turns out each of the documents were identical. They interviewed each person and asked them what was it about the document that you knew this magician knew you? Each person's answer was different. The document was filled with a bunch of generalizations like 'you're smart, you're outgoing, you're a people person, etc.' Intertwined through it, written in many different ways. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything beyond that. Maybe some hypnosis would help me
Has anyone ever heard or seen something like this done before?
Do you know where I could find any sample material?
