I just bought 3 tiny slates for $.75 (as in cents).
Did I just waste $.75 or is there some close-up mentalist thingamabob I can do with those plain old slates from the store? thanks, Frank

Can you write on both sides of the slates?

Slates were often used for spirit writing effects. The small slates have a close up advantage in that they are easier to manipulate. I would recommend looking at some old slate effects.
You may want to do a little gaffing which I assume shouldn't be a problem since you have three slates. Eugene Burger has a good mini slate routine called the Halloween Spirit published in Spirit Theater. Brian |

There are some great non-gaffed moves to produce writing from slates. I would suggest you read "Seance" as it will provide you with many things to do with slates. 13 Steps and Practical Mental Magic will too.

Also, Alexander Thomas in "Turning Thoughts to Gold" has slate moves for non gimmicked slates. I use these moves in the "Cross Creek Graveyard Seance" Very deceptive and since the slates are ungimmicked,there is nothing to find.

No I cannot write on both sides of the slates but I suppose I could "make it happen" somehow.
thanks, frank
