Most of that is just mentalism, which is effective and useful but works off a psychological and stochastic approach but is absolutely explainable and not supernatural despite its applications in manipulating people. See: Jacob Wysocki in the one year later episode of game changer

A LOT of mentalism is stage magic, and has nothing to do with psychology. That's part of the set dressing they're trying to sell you, they're just magicians as with a 21st century coat of paint on top.
