Brown states that he uses a variety of methods to achieve his illusions including traditional magic/conjuring techniques, memory techniques, hypnosis, body language reading, cognitive psychology, cold reading, and psychological, subliminal (specifically the use of PWA – "perception without awareness"), and ideomotor suggestion. Others additionally ascribe methods to him that he denies, ranging from the pseudoscience neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to paid actors.
Stage magicians can use various techniques, e.g., prestidigitation, cold reading, and hot reading, to produce the appearance of 'psychic' abilities for entertainment purposes.
Note: There's been cases of targeted individuals claiming that psychics have been planted into certain social situations in their lives in order to read their minds, and use that to assist their harassment.
