How To Read Anyone In 6 Seconds | Kostya Kimlat | TEDxSarasota

Sobre este vídeo

Can you read a stranger in six seconds? Kostya Kimlat has spent 25 years doing exactly that. As a professional magician, his career depends on walking up to people he’s never met and knowing, within moments, how to connect with them. In this talk, he reveals the system behind it. Using a deck of cards and four volunteers from the audience, Kostya demonstrates something most of us get wrong every day: we treat everyone the same and wonder why we don’t connect. His answer takes six seconds and two observations, and reveals how the four suits in a deck of cards map to four ways a person can show up in any moment. By the end, you’ll watch the trick and see four people getting exactly what they need. Kostya Kimlat is a professional magician best known for fooling Penn & Teller on their hit TV show “Fool Us.” He has performed in more than 200 cities across five continents and teaches organizations around the world about perception, communication, and human connection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
