Presticogitation The manipulation of thoughts, sleight of thought. A combination of the french Prestige (The reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, or other favorable attributes. ) and Cogitate (To think hard; ponder; meditate: to cogitate about a problem. ) The word was derived from the word Prestidigitation; meaning slight of hand. —Related forms pres·ti·cog·i·ta·tor, noun pres·ti·cog·i·ta·to·ry This word was first used by the magician Stuart Palm to describe his particular form of entertainment. He derived this word because many of the currently used titles, such as mind reader, psychic or mentalist, are misleading in some way from the direction he wishes to take his particular brand of entertainment. This form of magic entertainment involves memory manipulation, and reading the body language of the audience to achieve its goal.
