Can Oz Pearlman 'Read' a Skeptical Reporter’s Mind?
CNN One Thing
Nov 5, 2025

Oz Pearlman insists he reads people, not minds - and don't call him a magician. But as corporate titans, celebrities, and pro sports teams continue to pay him tens of thousands of dollars to reveal intimate personal details for parties and team-building events, he thinks the average person can use his skills to get ahead in business and life. David goes one-on-one with one of the internet’s favorite mentalists - and walks away with his heart racing. 

Oz’s book is “Read Your Mind: Proven Habits for Success From the World’s Greatest Mentalist.”
