Magic in your brain

Read this in an old book in the Thomas Cooper Library and thought it was pretty magical :).


Read this to yourself. Read it silently.
Don't move your lips. Don't make a sound. 
Listen to yourself. Listen without hearing anything.
What a wonderfully weird thing, huh?

NOW MAKE THIS PART LOUD!
SCREAM IT IN YOUR MIND!
DROWN EVERYTHING OUT!
Now, hear a whisper. A tiny whisper.

Now, read this next line with your best crotchety-old-man voice:

"Hello there, sonny. Does your town have a post office?"

Awesome! Who was that whose voice was that? It sure wasn't yours!

How did you do that?
HOW?!?!?!
It must be........MAGIC!
