'Jesus Christ': David Clifford left stunned as Keith Barry 'hacks his mind' in viral video

The Kerry football star was floored when the mentalist guessed the name of his old teacher

David Clifford has been left gobsmacked after Keith Barry appeared to "hack" the GAA superstar's mind in a viral TikTok video.

The Kerry ace was stopped on the streets of Killarney by the renowned Irish mentalist, hypnotist and magician, who is promoting his Unhinged show at the Gleneagle Arena in January next year.

In the clip, shared with Barry's 80,000 TikTok followers under the caption "I just hacked David Clifford's mind!", the footballer is asked to silently think of a person from his past.

"Imagine you go back in life and see all of the different people in your whole life. Imagine them all going past. And imagine now you're just locking in on one person," Barry instructed.

Clifford nodded and smiled as Barry probed further: "That's a female. This is a woman you're thinking of, yes? Think how many letters are in the spelling of her name - don't say just think it."

The Kerry forward confirmed with a grin before Barry narrowed in: "That was four letters in the name. Is that correct? … I think there was an 'i'."

Moments later, Barry stunned Clifford by blurting out the name: "When was the last time you thought of Áine?"

"Jesus Christ," Clifford muttered in disbelief, before bursting into laughter. "She was my old primary school teacher, so that was the one thing I thought of."

As Clifford continued laughing and repeating "Jesus Christ", Barry declared to the camera: "I just got inside David Clifford's mind!"

The video has since gone viral, racking up more than 120,000 views in a single day, with fans flooding the comments with shock at Barry's trickery and Clifford's priceless reaction.
