Mecole Hardman was thinking about a New York Jets Super Bowl. The kicker is, a renowned mentalist figured it out by finding a way inside his mind.
What Did Mecole Hardman Predict Involving the Jets?
In the second episode of the 2023 docuseries Hard Knocks on HBO, Hardman was called out by Oz Pearlman, who was a special guest at training camp for the Jets. Hardman himself is a past Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs. But how did Pearlman figure out what he was thinking?
Through a jigsaw puzzle and a puzzle board with a surprise on the back.
Pearlman began by telling the wide receiver to scrape off one part of the puzzle off the table. From there, Hardman was told to grab a couple of pieces of that puzzle and place them in both hands. The magician then asked him to “throw one like a Hail Mary pass” but keep another in one palm.
Hardman did so, but here’s the mind-twisting part. Pearlman asked the wideout his Super Bowl prediction, sensing that he was thinking about a victory at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas come February 2024. He then asked Hardman who the opponent was in his mind and the final score.
Hardman: “49ers”
Pearlman: “What’s the final score?”
Hardman: “31-21”
From there, Pearlman said, “If all the pieces come together this season, it can be absolute perfection, folks…because that’s what I’m thinking.”
The magician took the puzzle where Hardman placed the piece he kept. He turned it around, and sure enough…the score read what the newcomer predicted, leading to loud reactions in the room.

Pearlman already had his mind read. 🤯

“That’s crazy,” Hardman responded. “That’s…crazy!”
Is Pearlman a Jets Fan? About the Magician
It’s not known if Pearlman yells “J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!” during the regular season. It’s also not the first time he’s visited an NFL franchise, as he visited the Baltimore Ravens last season.
He is, however, a past marathon athlete who competed in the New Jersey Marathon and won the event four times.
Pearlman is of Israeli descent and has been known for his TV appearances on America’s Got Talent, NBC Today Show, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
However, while it’s a stirring prediction that was seen in the latest Hard Knocks, it should be noted that in 2022 it was envisioned the Ravens would trounce the Atlanta Falcons 35-14. Of course, two different teams played in Super Bowl 57. But still, Hardman and Pearlman did enough to catch the attention and blow minds in the newest episode.
