He says if he can't guess five times in a row which hand it's in, he'll pay the person $100. "I do this to get to know them, get to know how they think," Baxter said. They'll think random thoughts, or a letter in the alphabet, and Baxter will tell them what's going through their mind. "I point out that we are all connected and we have a strange kind of synchronicity between us," he said. "It's amazing to me how alike people think. "It's just the audience and myself, and no props. We do a show with just these odd psychological experiments." Sometimes Baxter will tell an audience member to try to do the opposite of what he's telling them to do, "but they end up doing it anyway," he said, laughing. "I explain exactly what's going to happen and why it's going to happen. "I don't tell them everything, because that would spoil one of the great things in the world, which is mystery."
