Mentalist Jim Karol says a dream gave him the winning Pennsylvania Lottery number in 1990. At 73, he memorizes shuffled cards in 15 seconds live on the show.
The Kim Iversen Show LIVE | November 13, 2026
On Friday the 13th, Kim sits down with Jim Karol — a former steelworker from Allentown, Pennsylvania who says he barely made it out of high school, became the performer known as “The Psychic Madman,” and didn’t start training his memory until he was 49. He tells the story behind his 1990 lottery call: the Daily Number 2-2-2 on December 22, which he says came to him in a dream six weeks earlier and which reportedly led to more than $12 million in payouts.
Then he shows what he can do now. Jim recalls a run of shuffled cards after 15 seconds, puts Kim through a 16-word memory test she nearly aces, and has an Alexa name the card and the objects in his hand through a spoken code he says runs to 30,000 words. He explains the “Mental Matrix” he built on an exercise bike, how he turns words into numbers, why he calls crossword puzzles “a walk around the block,” and says he is banned from casinos across the country.
Jim also talks about teaching these methods to wounded veterans, athletes, students and executives, and about where a working mentalist draws the line between a trick, intuition and what he believes is real psychic ability. He has appeared on The Tonight Show, Ellen, Today, The Howard Stern Show and NBC’s Phenomenon.
