In a world where even the most extraordinary accomplishments could be explained, perhaps there is still room for the wonder and mystery that magic and illusion bring. Not just children, but people of all ages and professions can relate to it. Celebrities and athletes are no exceptions. If one applies tricks expertly, it can amuse even the sharpest person in the world.

Fox Sports arranged a surprising event recently, where they invited a renowned mentalist to read the minds of MLB analysts. Having been highly celebrated players themselves, the Fox Sports analysts come equipped with all the nuances of the sport. So, it is a tough job to surprise them. To everyone’s surprise, the magician did it. He left Derek Jeter speechless.

Max Goodwin surprises Derek Jeter with his remarkable skills

A recent episode of the Fox Sports: MLB show blew the minds of the audience along with the three MLB legends, especially Jeter. As the episode began, Max Goodwin came to the show and started showing his impressive mind-reading skills. He asked Captain Clutch to think of his social security number. However, very naturally, the legend denied that. So, Goodwin instantly changed the topic and asked him to think of his childhood hero. Well, this time, the legend agreed and did as instructed. After some moments, the mentalist showed the audience the name and then asked the MLB icon to say the name. Captain Clutch said, “Grandfather… William Sonny Conners.” Surprisingly, Max had written the same.

When the result was shown, the expression of the former Yankees captain was the most interesting one. After the 5x World Series Champion saw it, he was completely blown away. With a look of amusement and disbelief, he mocked leaving the set. Even A-Rod exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! that was crazy.” When A-Rod asked Max how he does this, he replied, “That’s why I am doing this, you’re doing this, you know.”

However, that’s not all. The renowned mentalist tried this with Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz as well.

When Max Goodwin made his appearance on the show, he tried his trick first on A-Rod. He asked the Yankees’ former third baseman to think of a number in his mind. Also, he told him to think of some unusual number that is not massively known. As A-Rod followed his instruction, he asked him to reveal the number. The legend said, “Magic Johnson, 32.” At the next minute, the mentalist revealed that he also had written 32. This was enough to leave the three legends speechless.

Though this seems amazing and surprising, it is a complicated method of anticipation and illusion. Add showmanship to it, the crafty “mind readers” create an environment to bedazzle their subjects.
