Today marks the inaugural celebration of Mind Reading Day, declared every July 2 in honor of Emmanuel “Emman” Espiritu, a Filipino mentalist known for his captivating performances and ability to connect deeply with audiences through the power of thought and intuition.
Espiritu, whose birthday falls on July 2, has become one of the Philippines’ leading figures in mentalism and mind reading. His work blends psychological insight, suggestion, and intuitive performance — offering audiences a glimpse into the possibilities of the human mind.
“Mind reading, to me, is about understanding people beyond what they say. It’s about empathy, connection, and presence,” said Espiritu. “To have a day that celebrates this kind of magic — I’m honored.”
A Background Rooted in the Mysterious
Emman’s journey began at home. As the son of a locally known psychic healer, he grew up surrounded by spiritual and psychic practices like tarot reading and palmistry. Although he does not claim supernatural abilities, his upbringing sparked a deep curiosity about intuition and the unexplained.
Through years of observation, study, and performance, Emman developed a powerful skillset that mirrors psychic phenomena — but rooted in observation, influence, and deep human understanding. Today, he performs regularly at corporate events, private celebrations, and theaters, earning a reputation as one of the most compelling mentalists in the country.
Why July 2?
Beyond being Emman’s birthday, July 2 holds symbolic power:
In July 1882, the term telepathy was first introduced by the Society for Psychical Research — a historic moment in the exploration of mental connection.
The date also coincides with World UFO Day, a celebration of the unknown and the pursuit of understanding what lies beyond the surface.
As the midpoint of the year, July 2 is a natural time for reflection, self-awareness, and intuitive thinking — core elements of mind reading.
