VADODARA, Oct 11: They are all for one and one for all. While Pradip Rao, a chartered accountant by profession, can read your mind, T K Vadivelu, a financial consultant, can depict anything under the sun using his hands in the form of shadow play and when it comes to imitating accents of people living anywhere in the world, Harshad Contractor can rise to the occasion every time.

The trio 8212; Rao, Vadivelu and Contractor who teamed up a few years ago, were here at the Hotel Welcomgroup recently to stage their show, Mind Storm 8212; The Psychic Mind Show8217;.

Talking to Express Newsline, Rao said, 8220;Reading a person8217;s mind can be improved with regular practice.8221; And once a person develops an interest for the art, it becomes very easy, he claimed.

Rao proved his point when he distributed several books at random among the audience and asked three people to open a page and read the first word to themselves. He enthralled the audience when he guessed all the three words right by just looking at their faces.

In another experiment8217;, he asked random members of the audience to choose the colour, the company, the price and the licence number of a dream car8217;. as the final fact was being made public, Rao had displayed a prepared and sealed transparency detailing each of the factors absolutely correctly.

Vadivelu too enthralled the audience when he depicted a scenario in the train and a conversation between a saint and a maulvi by using his hands. 8220;I enjoy the art more when I have to depict two or three things at a time. That is more challenging,8221; he said.

According to the trio, no task was difficult or impossible. It was just a matter of time and regular practice that could make a person a perfectionist in the art.

Rao said that he too began on a trial-and-error method. But due to constant practice, he was today in a position to perform flawlessly.
