Pro tip for all you mentalists!

As the German readers of this blog will know there was some kind of bad experience about German mentalist Jan Becker.

Basically he decided to do a headline prediction of one of Germany's biggest newspaper. When asked how he predicts this, he answered that he basically just thinks about what kind of headline he would like to read.

And then the tragedy in Boston happened. The resulting headline was "The Terror in Boston"

So this went bad for Jan Becker, as his statement how the prediction came to pass and the actual headline kind of tell an awkward story. Also, even if he had not made that statement, still the question would come up, why he was in silence and not telling everybody about the upcoming "Terror".

The actual prediction read as follows: "The Terror in (word with B)"

So this is a pro tip for you mentalist out there. If the headline is something really bad, then FAIL for once. Don't use it for PR!
